20061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
20061217
+ add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding
definitions in <wchar.h>.
+ revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither
correct nor portable.
+ add $(LOCAL_LIBS) definition to progs/Makefile.in, needed for
rpath on Solaris.
+ ignore wide-acs line-drawing characters that wcwidth() claims are
not one-column. This is a workaround for Solaris' broken locale
support.
20061216
+ modify configure --with-gpm option to allow it to accept a parameter,
i.e., the name of the dynamic GPM library to load via dlopen()
(requested by Bryan Henderson).
+ add configure option --with-valgrind (from vile).
+ modify configure script AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK checks to use
'return' in preference to 'exit()'.
20061209
+ change default for --with-develop back to "no".
+ add XTABS to tracing of TTY bits.
+ updated autoconf patch to ifdef-out the misfeature which declares
exit() for configure tests. This fixes a redefinition warning on
Solaris.
+ use ${CC} rather than ${LD} in shared library rules for IRIX64,
Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for
extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
+ rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
from the autoconf predefined symbol. There was no conflict,
since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file,
but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch.
20061202
+ update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed
database configuration.
+ updates for test/configure script.
+ adapted from SuSE rpm package:
+ remove long-obsolete workaround for broken-linker which declared
cur_term in tic.c
+ improve error recovery in PUTC() macro when wcrtomb() does not
return usable results for an 8-bit character.
+ patches from rpm package (SuSE):
+ use va_copy() in extra varargs manipulation for tracing version
of printw, etc.
+ use a va_list rather than a null in _nc_freeall()'s call to
_nc_printf_string().
+ add some see-also references in manpages to show related
wide-character functions (suggested by Claus Fischer).
20061125
+ add a check in lib_color.c to ensure caller does not increase COLORS
above max_colors, which is used as an array index (discussion with
Simon Sasburg).
+ add ifdef's allowing ncurses to be built with tparm() using either
varargs (the existing status), or using a fixed-parameter list (to
match X/Open).
20061104
+ fix redrawing of windows other than stdscr using wredrawln() by
touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan
Gookin).
+ add test/redraw.c
+ add test/echochar.c
+ review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and
menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196).
20061028
+ add AUTHORS file -TD
+ omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags
option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall).
+ make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h
20061021
+ revert change to accommodate bash 3.2, since that breaks other
platforms, e.g., Solaris.
+ minor fixes to NEWS file to simplify scripting to obtain list of
contributors.
+ improve some shared-library configure scripting for Linux, FreeBSD
and NetBSD to make "--with-shlib-version" work.
+ change configure-script rules for FreeBSD shared libraries to allow
for rpath support in versions past 3.
+ use $(DESTDIR) in makefile rules for installing/uninstalling the
package config script (reports/patches by Christian Wiese,
Ralf S Engelschall).
+ fix a warning in the configure script for NetBSD 2.0, working around
spurious blanks embedded in its ${MAKEFLAGS} symbol.
+ change test/Makefile to simplify installing test programs in a
different directory when --enable-rpath is used.
20061014
+ work around bug in bash 3.2 by adding extra quotes (Jim Gifford).
+ add/install a package config script, e.g., "ncurses5-config" or
"ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options.
20061007
+ add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors,
and status line (Alain Bench).
+ change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
objects into the install directory. This makes the --with-rpath
option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
20060930
+ fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
+ test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to
not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this.
+ fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvments to "-f" option.
+ improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting.
20060923
+ make --disable-largefile option work (report by Thomas M Ott).
+ updated html documentation.
+ add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension -TD
+ minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD
20060916
+ move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct.
+ improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X
(report by Michail Vidiassov).
+ modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix
option (from lynx changes) -TD
+ adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.
+ modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted
by report by Christopher Parker).
+ update config.sub
20060909
+ add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
+ remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
since it does not really do this -TD
20060903
+ correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
(report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
20060902
+ fix kterm's acsc string -TD
+ fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is
embedded into a termcap description.
+ workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile
when using --with-termlib --with-trace options.
+ improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's
buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla
#202480)).
+ correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev)
20060826
+ add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome
terminal (mgt) -TD
+ add test/foldkeys.c
20060819
+ modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo
source output (Debian #378783).
+ modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
variable is also used (Redhat Bugzilla #199369).
+ port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
+ fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
(patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla #202480)).
20060805
+ updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
+ add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
20060729
+ modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
or as a text file if those are not available.
+ use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
+ modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
20060722
+ widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.
+ update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD
+ update config.guess, config.sub
20060715
+ fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads
and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada).
+ correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine).
+ add test/chgat.c
+ modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will
repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William
McBrine).
+ split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to
work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers).
+ suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without
an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits).
+ modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to
disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by
Nigel Horne).
+ modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables
to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry.
+ improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that
it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
20060708
+ add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916).
+ correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak
checking of tic.
20060701
+ revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which
caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view
in color mode.
+ note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line
parameters (prompted by Debian #371855).
+ fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure
--disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf: 20060527)
+ update/correct several terminfo entries -TD
+ add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD
20060625
+ fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0
+ modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
+ reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
+ modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
+ improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
+ improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
20060617
+ fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
+ add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.
+ reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx
symbols.
+ correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168).
20060603
+ enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
+ improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
+ minor copyright fixes.
+ change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
20060527
+ add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
+ remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
+ add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly: getcurx(), getcury(),
getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
wgetbkgrnd().
+ provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
a function to improve performance. Allowing a developer to suppress
these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
Stanislav Ievlev).
+ improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
20060520
+ if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
wrap to the next line. This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
for hpterm.
+ correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
+ minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
+ make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
Stanislav Ievlev).
+ move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
_screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
(cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
20060513
+ improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
+ change default for --with-develop to "yes". Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
+ add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
+ update config.guess, config.sub
+ modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
(field_buffer returning null for a valid field). The 'r' test
appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
function is broken in that implementation.
20060506
+ add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
+ fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
20060422
+ add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
Taylor).
+ improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
by Bernd Rieke).
+ add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
reported to implement this feature -TD
20060416
+ fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
20060415
+ document -U option of tic and infocmp.
+ modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format. Also
suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
+ add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
20060408
+ modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
Alain Bench).
+ another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
20060401
+ improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
(report by Alain Bench).
+ use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
+ correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
Bench).
+ move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
+ add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
McBrine).
20060318
+ modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
and/or video attributes.
+ modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
20060312
+ fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
20060311
+ add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
+ modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
+ add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
+ change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
20060225
+ workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
+ fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
+ correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
20060218
+ add nsterm-16color entry -TD
+ updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
+ remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
+ modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
+ start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
+ add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
+ add help-message to test/movewindow.c
20060211
+ add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
+ fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
rather than delayed.
+ modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
screen.
+ fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
20060204
+ improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
vendor curses.
+ documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
20060128
+ correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf: 20040516), which
should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
20060121
+ minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
+ suppress line-drawing
+ implement max_attributes
tested with xterm.
+ minor fixes for the database iterator.
+ fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
Debian #348117).
20060114
+ add toe -a option, to show all databases. This uses new private
interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
databases.
+ fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
$HOME/.terminfo
+ make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
+ improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
etc., when allocating screens.
20060111
+ modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs. Use
this in test/filter.c
+ fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
to fail.
20060107
+ check if filter() was called when getting the screensize. Keep it
at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
+ add extension nofilter().
+ refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
+ make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
header file can be used for the normal curses library. The header
file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
20051231
+ add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
A_ALTCHARSET. This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
+ add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
+ improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
+ modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
PDCurses/X11.
+ modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions. But it's enough for
comparison.
+ update config.guess and config.sub
20051224
+ use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
+ make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
TGETENT_YES, etc.
+ remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
+ remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
that was never built in that directory).
+ typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
20051217
+ add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
feature.
+ fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
bool.
20051210
+ extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
effect of the different functions.
+ corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
Victor Julien).
20051203
+ add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
Setzer).
+ fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
(Debian #341661).
20051126
+ move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
included.
+ add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
+ change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
short equivalents.
20051119
+ remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
+ use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
by Andrea Govoni).
+ remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
+ ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
+ fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
20051112
+ other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
+ correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
20051029
+ add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
+ modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
#316663).
+ modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
a derived window (Debian #316663).
20051022
+ move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
terminals opened with newterm() as well.
+ fix a memory leak in keyname().
+ add test/demo_altkeys.c
+ modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
20051015
+ correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for
f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp).
+ suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not
found.
+ correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
--without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
+ add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out
that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely
static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner).
20051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
20051008
+ document in demo_forms.c some portability issues.
20051001
+ document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position.
+ save/restore the current position in form field editing to make
overlay mode work.
20050924
+ correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report
by Daniel Jacobowitz).
+ modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides
the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
+ modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for
NetBSD.
+ update config.guess and config.sub from
http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
20050917
+ modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
+ modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
on existing 64-bit builds. Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
size of chtype and mmask_t. However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
default (report by Mike Frysinger).
+ add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by
default if it is used.
+ improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the
--with-abi-version option was used.
+ update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
+ correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
multi-column characters (cf: 20041023).
20050910
+ modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
once. Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
handlers (Debian #326709).
20050903
+ modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that
it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van
Vugt).
+ remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
20050827
+ document some workarounds for shared and libtool library
configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool).
+ modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate
cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version
message, e.g.,
arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
(report by Frank van Vugt).
20050820
+ start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
+ fix to make libtool and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
+ fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo
+ add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the
lower corner of a terminal's screen.
+ update llib-l* files.
20050813
+ modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
+ improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
#316663).
20050806
+ fixes to build on QNX 6.1
+ improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
+ remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
+ adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
+ move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by
Konstantin Andreev).
20050723
+ updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
+ make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
+ make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
several related cases -TD
+ improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
Thomas Klausner).
+ improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
resets line-drawing.
20050716
+ fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
#318621).
+ split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
+ modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
20050702
+ modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype).
+ modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined
on Linux.
+ improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since
some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version.
20050625
+ update config.guess and config.sub from
http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
+ modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
+ suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling. This
allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
"make install.data" step.
+ improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
(prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
+ improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
+ add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala
(see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
+ modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion
with Daniel Jacobowitz).
+ modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still
compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h
(report by Daniel Jacobowitz:
+ patches from Daniel Jacobowitz:
+ the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards.
+ tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's.
+ the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong.
20050619
+ correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
20050618
+ move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory
to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a
review of Debian package).
+ revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609).
+ libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6,
1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++
install using libtool 1.5.0):
+ modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make
program.
+ use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
+ add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
+ revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
"long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
20050611
+ change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
+ fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
20050604
+ fixes for termcap support:
+ reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
+ delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
extended names data will be freed consistently.
+ free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
its callers.
+ add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
_nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
+ amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).
20050528
+ add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
+ correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.
+ improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64
from vile -TD
+ minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the
Ada95 tree.
20050515
+ document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by
Stanislav Ievlev).
+ regenerated html documentation for ada binding.
see ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml
20050507
+ regenerated html documentation for manpages.
+ add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in
ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
+ modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
(patch by Mike Frysinger).
+ modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
termcap format. Only two characters are permissible for termcap
capability names.
20050430
+ modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
shift-, control-cursor keys.
+ workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
+ modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
it will automatically be treated as a key.
+ modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".
+ add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the
termcap interface.
20050423
+ minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
+ add configure option --enable-largefile
+ corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing
gcc 4.0.0.
20050416
+ update config.guess, config.sub
+ modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
+ modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable. The
latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
characters.
+ modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
+ review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
20050409
+ correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
position the mouse to a particular item.
+ implement test/demo_menus.c
+ add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set.
+ modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
--enable-const option.
20050403
+ modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
+ address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
+ improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
+ modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
+ modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
20050327
+ amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
valid locale.
+ fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
20050326
+ add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
anyone used that configuration.
+ update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
Vidiassov).
+ correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
20050320
+ add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
#300419).
+ modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
WenRui, Debian #300512).
20050319
+ modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
+ improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
configuration.
20050312
+ change tracemunch to use strict checking.
+ modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
+ implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
20050305
+ change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
Steve Beal).
+ modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
Wolfgang Gutjahr).
+ adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
+ update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
20050226
+ improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
from lynx.
+ add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
+ modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
+ extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
(request by Thomas Wolff). Wolff says the visual effect in
combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
+ fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
+ correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
right (cf: 20040228).
+ fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
20050219
+ fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
+ update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
+ correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
+ add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
added (Debian #295083).
+ add traces to panel library.
20050212
+ improve editing of wide-characters in form library: left/right
cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
"xterm". Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
mouse events in this case.
+ modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
20050205
+ add traces for callback functions in form library.
+ add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5. This works
with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
+ improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
20050129
+ merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
+ add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
+ improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
+ modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
already been started.
+ modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
pair_content() and color_content().
+ modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
if it corresponds to the default-color.
+ change internal representation of default-color to allow application
to use color number 255. This does not affect the total number of
color pairs which are allowed.
+ add a top-level tags rule.
20050122
+ add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
first calling initscr().
+ add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
+ modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
+ modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
that are curses-specific.
+ change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI. The reason for this
is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
Stanislav Ievlev).
20050115
+ minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
+ correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
for leading whitespace.
+ add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
where a following line begins in column 1.
+ modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
+ improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
20050108
+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
20050101
+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
+ fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
+ update config.guess, config.sub
> patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
+ improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64. Tested for
on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
+ print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
+ use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
20041225
+ add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
libraries.
+ fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
+ fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
20041218
+ revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
and attr_set functions.
20041211
+ modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
+ fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
forms-demo to be one character short.
+ fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
+ add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
+ update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
20041204
+ replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
+ corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
field_buffer().
+ some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
+ modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
20041127
+ amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
of cur_term if the same output was selected. This now reuses it only
when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
separate SCREENs. Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat Bugzilla #140326).
+ add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
Campo).
+ improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
_POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
updates from lynx).
+ cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
20041120
+ update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
+ modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
+ ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
constructs them (cf: 20041023).
+ modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
wide-character configuration.
20041106
+ fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
or multicolumn characters.
20041030
+ improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
+ modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
use_default_colors() be called first.
20041023
+ modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
+ add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
multi-column character partly overwrites another.
+ improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
must be wrapped to a new line.
+ revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
problem with repainting. In the old scheme, it was possible for
doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
attribute.
20041016
+ minor fixes for traces.
+ add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
line-drawing characters is handled properly. For example, ACS_DARROW
is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
same as ACS_BTEE.
20041009
+ amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
and smacs strings as well. Also modify the check for screen's
limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
and shift-out which seem to work.
+ change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
at runtime (Debian #110586).
20041002
+ correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
+ add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
background color.
20040925
+ fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
+ modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
20040918
+ remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
+ correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
+ fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
(adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
+ change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
is no longer experimental.
+ change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
20040911
+ add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
20040828
+ modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
+ add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
+ correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
using "tic -C" (Redhat Bugzilla #130921).
+ modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
(comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
20040821
+ fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
+ modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
visibility are reset in rs2 string: hurd, putty, gnome,
konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, #55637). The
xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and the
new ones do not require this change. -TD
20040814
+ fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
and window managers (Debian #265631).
> terminfo updates -TD
+ remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
with the common usage of bce/ech
+ remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
+ add rxvt+pcfkeys
20040807
+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
underline can be tested. This made the legend too crowded, added
a help window as well.
+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
the -d option is set.
+ update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
20040731
+ modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
displayed.
+ correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
Chris Share).
20040724
+ modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings. Also
modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
+ corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat Bugzilla #122815,
patch by Hans de Goede)

attributes.
+ improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0.
+ fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule.
+ modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).
+ modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if
converting termcap to termcap format.

(report/patch by Tony Li).
+ fix a missing nul check in set_field_buffer() from 20040508 changes.
> terminfo updates -TD
+ make xterm-xf86-v43 derived from xterm-xf86-v40 rather than
xterm-basic -TD
+ align with xterm patch #192's use of xterm-new -TD
+ update xterm-new and xterm-8bit for cvvis/cnorm strings -TD
+ make xterm-new the default "xterm" entry -TD
20040626
+ correct BUILD_CPPFLAGS substitution in ncurses/Makefile.in, to allow
cross-compiling from a separate directory tree (report/patch by
Dan Engel).
+ modify is_term_resized() to ensure that window sizes are nonzero,
as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
(Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
+ configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS
+ update config.guess, config.sub
> terminfo updates -TD
+ add mlterm
+ add xterm-xf86-v44
+ modify xterm-new aka xterm-xfree86 to accommodate luit, which
relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
Juliusz Chroboczek)
+ add 'hurd' entry
20040619
+ reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
+ modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
20040605
+ add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
+ correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
by Tony Li).
+ correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
define_key().
20040529
+ correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
field_buffer() results.
+ modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
20040522
+ improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
by Arne Thomassen).
+ improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
+ change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
20040516
+ modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
+ correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
one cell.
20040508
+ replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
changes.
+ fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
20040501
+ modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
(adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
+ add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
comparisons. This modifies infocmp to only report extended
capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
with tic. Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
information without an option.
+ modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
20040424
+ minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
20040417
+ modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
+ free some memory leaks in tic.
+ remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
+ remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
that extend beyond the screen. Solaris curses does this.
+ add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
curses.
+ add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
20040403
+ modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
to an unsigned char.
+ add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
20040328
+ fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
20040327
+ modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
current locale rather than using getenv(). This fixes a case in tin
which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
+ add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
+ add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
string. This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
+ correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
20030802 (Debian #237629).
20040320
+ modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
20040313
+ fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
by Jim Idle).
+ remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
some apropos script (Debian #237831).
20040306
+ modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
mode is shown in that test.
+ change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
+ correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
20040228
+ modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
multibyte string.
+ split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it. X/Open states
that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
insert-functions. Currently it does not wrap.
+ check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
Stanislav Ievlev).
+ split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
+ fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
20040221
+ some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
(request by Mike Aubury).
+ add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
stdbool.h, e.g.,
#define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
#include <curses.h>
(discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
20040214
+ modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
the name of the terminfo library. This would allow a packager to
build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
with Stanislav Ievlev).
+ improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
$(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
+ add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
(prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
20040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+ update TO-DO.
20040207 pre-release
+ minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
+ correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests. In POSIX
locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
did.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
verified by Scott Corscadden).
20040131 pre-release
+ modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
(patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
+ document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
+ document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
+ documented interface changes in INSTALL.
+ corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
(Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
+ updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
+ fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
+ minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
20040125 pre-release
+ amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
of cells for a possibly multi-cell character. The 20030614 change
forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
greater than zero. However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
range 128-255 can give this return value. The logic now simply
ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
modifying the displayed value.
20040124 pre-release
+ looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
+ modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
that works better for cross-compiling.
20040117 pre-release
+ modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
+ add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
+ add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
+ add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
Bianchi).
+ modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
(report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
#227586)).
+ correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
+ modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
+ remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
+ make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
+ improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
+ add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
+ add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
+ fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
HPUX .so/.sl case.
+ resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
+ make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
+ rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool. The
intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
20040110 pre-release
+ change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
+ revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
Sittler).
+ simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
Ievlev).
+ remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
Ievlev).
+ modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
(suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
+ move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
20040103
+ adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
+ modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
+ add pecho_wchar().
+ remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
available) on older platforms.
20031227
+ add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
+ modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
+ modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf: 970719).
+ re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
20031220
+ add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
+ remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
work with Tru64 4.0d.
+ add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
list).
20031213
+ add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
continuation lines. ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
applications do not.
+ add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
"--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
+ add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
+ fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
Mike Castle).
20031206
+ folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
+ remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
<inger@altlinux.org>).
+ add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
+ modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
+ add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
awkward for some cases.
+ remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
20000101).
+ improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
__BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
+ small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
+ correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
(cf: 20031101).
20031129
+ modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
values (Philippe Blain).
+ improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
restarting (Philippe Blain).
+ correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
<mooz@welho.com>).
20031122
+ add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
+ allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
+ save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
+ modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
$BROKEN_LINKER
20031108
+ add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
+ fix some spelling in comments (reports by jmc, Jonathon Gray).
+ update config.guess, config.sub
20031101
+ fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
+ use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
+ amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
<ps.m@gmx.net>).
+ fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
+ modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
20031025
+ update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
+ add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
+ check for missing op/oc in tic.
+ correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
tic to show cancelled capabilities. These functions were ignoring
the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
+ correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
+ add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
Bienia).
+ regenerated html documentation.
+ correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
+ remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
20031018
+ updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
+ fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
+ minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
+ modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
Koblinger Egmont).
20031004
+ add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
+ updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
20030927
+ update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
+ modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
+ improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
on white.
+ plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
(report by Philippe Blain).
20030920
+ add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
--with-shared option. The Darwin ld program does not work well
with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
+ modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
+ modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
> patch by Philippe Blain:
+ improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
range.
+ improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
change is found.
+ improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
in the clr_bol logic.
20030913
> patch by Philippe Blain:
+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
putchar() which goes to stdout. Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
+ in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
successful (typeMalloc can fail).
+ simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
20030906
+ modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
+ modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
20030830
+ alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
--with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
+ modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki). We note that
libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
--with-install-prefix is used.
20030823
> patch by Philippe Blain:
+ move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
+ make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
20030816
+ modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
+ improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
> patch by Philippe Blain:
+ remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
+ correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
20030809
+ fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
+ close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
+ free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
+ fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
+ correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
happens to be an empty string. This applies to the "configure
--enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
20030802
+ modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
Daniel Jacobowitz).
> patch by Philippe Blain:
+ change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
the size of the scroll-region.
+ correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
20030726
+ correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
+ re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
_GNU_SOURCE check.
20030719
+ use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
(request by Vincent Lefevre).
+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
+ add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
Wilson).
> cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
+ aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
+ include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
status of cygwin/mingw port. Fix compiler warning.
+ misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
+ misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
usage and to prevent circular links.
(rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
(rxvt-color): new alias
(rxvt-xpm): new alias
(rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
(rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto. rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
with a "native" MSWin GUI. Each takes different acsc codes,
which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
(cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window. Lots of fixes.
(cygwinDBG): ditto.
+ mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
and static libs.
20030712
+ update config.guess, config.sub
+ add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
20030705
+ modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++. Some
platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
would not accept gcc warning options.
+ add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
+ add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
+ correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
+ work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
Gabor Z Papp).
+ add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
20030628
+ rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
+ remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
strings into wide-characters. Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
20030621
+ write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
getcurx(), etc.
+ modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
multibyte character directly to waddch(). In this case, waddch()
must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
20030614
+ modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
two cells.
+ modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
are used in multibyte values. This fixes a problem displaying
double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
<mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
+ add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
+ modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
20030607
+ add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
properly in a UTF-8 locale.
+ add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
+ use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
+ fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
<beren@mac.com>).
+ simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
Albert Chin-A-Young).
+ remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
20030531
+ regenerated html manpages.
+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
(Debian #195230).
+ modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
name.
+ fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
+ add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
20030524
+ modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
+ add tkterm entry -TD
+ modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
2-character name (report by Don Libes).
+ corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
+ fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
tell().
+ fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
+ modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
feature is broken.
+ modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
they return function pointers: field_init, field_term, form_init,
form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
20030517
+ prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
+ change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
by Debian #192860).
+ add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
current test programs.
+ corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
+ corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
+ null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
failed.
+ map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
mentioned in the terminfo.
+ modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
20030510
+ make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
+ correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
"--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
+ correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
(reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
+ fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by jmc
<jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
20030503
+ fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
the editing position before making modifications.
+ add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
+ modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
to compile rather than using the list of programs.
20030419
+ modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
defined, noting that Solaris does this.
+ modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
string.
+ modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
+ modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
terminfo as is done in "screen".
20030412
+ add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
+ fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
code, from recent rewrite.
+ modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
as in 'e' test.
+ modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
20030405
+ modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
already been read. This ensures that it does not reinvoke
def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
20030329
+ add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
+ correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
slk_wset().
+ first draft of slk_wset() function.
20030322
+ improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
1023-byte limit.
+ built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
calls.
+ adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
20030315
+ minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
a file when ^W is given.
+ add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
trace code.
20030308
+ correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
+ add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
+ correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
+ modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
for errors.
20030301
+ restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
+ add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
20030222
+ corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
+ if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
baudrate was not known.
+ in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
+ modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
corresponding capability might be
title=\E]2;%p1%s^G,
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
preprocessor. This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
20030215
+ add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
on preprocessor definitions. Also work around for gcc fixinclude
bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
apparently typedef'd.
+ if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
20030208
+ add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
+ update configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
+ make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent. Before,
depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
cached for reallocating.
20030201
+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
+ correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
<wr6@uni.de>).
+ correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
<te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
+ do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
20030125
+ modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
emx-base to the latter -TD
+ add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
20030118
+ revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
attributes, e.g., reverse.
+ improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
20030111
+ improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
+ add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
Polterak).
+ change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
(basic regular expression). One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
<horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
+ correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
20030105
+ improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
+ demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
specialized type for the middle initial/name.
+ fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
of sed 4.0
> patch by Philippe Blain:
+ optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
is indeed a "blank".
+ simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
sections as small as one line.
+ improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
to use it.
+ use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
20021231
+ rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
20021228
+ change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
(report by Philippe Blain).
+ modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
<R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
+ rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
locale.
+ correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
> patch by Philippe Blain:
+ correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
+ correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
20021221
+ change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
Philippe Blain).
+ use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
Polterak).
+ implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13). This only works with
the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
20021214
+ allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
overridden from the environment.
+ make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
+ modify ncurses/modules to allow
configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
+ fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
+ correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
by Sam Varshavchik).
+ small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
gnatmake adds to its version-message.
> Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
+ use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
compiling.
+ use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
+ change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
20021206
+ modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
<chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
+ modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
+ correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
+ repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
+ update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
+ modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
--with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
+ fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
+ modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
with bug reports. libtool still gets confused if the installed
ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
+ reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
+ rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
20021123
+ add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
+ add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
+ add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
+ modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
winsch() internal function.
+ modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
more than one spacing character.
20021116
+ fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
+ change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
(prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
+ add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
+ add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
+ add mterm terminfo entries -TD
20021109
+ split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
vt220+keypad. The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
<leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
+ add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
+ improve checks in tic for color capabilities
20021102
+ check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
(report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
+ rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
Blain).
+ remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature. The #undef confuses
dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
+ fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
20021026
+ implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
or 1003. These are returned to the application as the
REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented. Tested both
with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
<Larry@Riedel.org>).
+ modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
mode. In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
1002 and 1003. If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
+ correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
+ correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
--with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
+ add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
20021019
+ remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
+ add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
+ replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
+ update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
+ remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
Frederic L W Meunier).
20021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+ modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
+ add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
the debug trace in that case.
+ modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
+ modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
the two.
+ document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
20021005 pre-release
+ correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
<michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
+ modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
+ correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
formats such as "%.*s".
+ correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
(report Floyd Davidson).
+ change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
consistency.
+ correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
<fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
20020928 pre-release
+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
Chernov).
+ modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
+ restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
(report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
+ improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
to returnBool() and returnAttr().
+ add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
+ add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
+ correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
+ add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
+ modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
+ correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
+ correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
the attributes (broken in 20010602).
+ modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
20020921 pre-release
+ redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
+ workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
result in core dump.
+ documented getbegx(), etc.
+ minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
delimiter rather than '@'.
> patch by Philippe Blain:
+ add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
to the lines given for the destination window.
20020914 pre-release
+ modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
then applications that use that header for wide-character support
must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
+ modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
pads (request by Philippe Blain).
+ correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
> patch by Philippe Blain:
+ corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
+ remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
20020907 pre-release
+ change configure script to allow install of widec-character
(ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
latter is a compatible subset of the former.
+ fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
html manpages on Debian.
+ fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
+ update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
+ change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
> patch by Philippe Blain:
+ change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
a variable from the stack.
+ correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
confusion.
+ modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
+ modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
_idcok window fields.
+ better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
20020901 pre-release
+ change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
+ update config.guess, config.sub
+ retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
+ make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
match XSI.
+ modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
+ add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
string. This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
+ modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
+ moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
use in resizeterm().
+ add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
(adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
+ amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
> patch by Philippe Blain:
+ removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
+ check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
+ prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
+ prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
+ use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
_nc_doalloc().
20020824
+ add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
+ fix an overlooked case for bugzilla #68199 (Philippe Blain).
+ ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
20020817
+ modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables. Fixes Redhat
bugzilla #68199 dated 2002-07-07.
+ add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
FreeBSD bug report. If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
+ correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
rather than comma.
+ remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
unsatisfactory.
20020810
+ add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
when translating to termcap.
+ add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
+ modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
tc clauses.
+ correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
Philippe Blain).
+ remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
Philippe Blain).
+ document TABSIZE variable.
+ add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
assume_default_colors().
+ correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
logic.
+ correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
+ modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
window (completes Debian #87678, #101699)
20020803
+ fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
Philippe Blain).
+ revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
Philippe Blain)
+ remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
(report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
20020727
+ finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
to resizeterm().
+ simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
20020720
+ check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
problem with identifying C++ bool type.
+ correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
+ modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
configure definitions.
+ remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
+ update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
+ correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
+ change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
+ modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
20020713
+ add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
+ altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent. (More
work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
+ improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
+ remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
filesystems.
+ modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
+ updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
+ update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
20020706
+ add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
+ modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
the Caps file.
+ reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
+ add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
20020629
+ correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
+ set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
only ones).
+ add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
+ correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
Blain).
+ modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
in UTF-8 locale. Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
+ fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
gnat 3.14
+ modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
+ fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
they were set before). Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
match.
20020622
+ add charset to generated html.
+ add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
<dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
+ add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
+ modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
INSTALL notes.

+ modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
key code in get_wch().
+ extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
+ improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
+ correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
20020601
+ add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps. This makes
hds200 fit.
+ more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
differences between delay values in sgr strings.
+ move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
20020525
+ add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
+ fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
+ make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
+ correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
+ improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
+ add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
+ add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
+ add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.

falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
<lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
+ modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
+ adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
(reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
20020511
+ implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
character versions as well.
+ implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
killchar().
+ modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
VDISABLE.
+ correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by
Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck
<scott@gossamer-threads.com>).
+ improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often
if gettimeofday() is available.
20020429
+ workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy
Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>).
20020427
+ correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with
Solaris and Tru64.
+ reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs
subsets so configure --with-termlib works again. This was broken by
logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin
dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com).
+ update config.guess, config.sub
20020421
+ modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on
platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS.
+ modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h
with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition.
+ amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an
alias for 'function'.
20020420
+ correct form of prototype for ripoffline().
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented
can be linked.

+ implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales. When in UTF-8
locale, ignore narrow version of acs. Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c
to demonstrate.
+ correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing
list item).
20020202
+ add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the
format.
+ implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n
conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with
Albert Chin-A-Young).
+ modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making
shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs
(patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+ add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications
such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes
Debian #131263, cf: 20011215).
+ add entrypoints to resizeterm.c which provide better control over the
process: is_term_resized() and resize_term(). The latter restores
the original design of resizeterm() before KEY_RESIZE was added in
970906. Do this to accommodate 20010922 changes to view.c, but allow
for programs with their own sigwinch handler, such as lynx (reported
by Russell Ruby <russ@math.orst.edu>).

<gniibe@m17n.org>).
+ add configure check for mbstate_t, needed for wide-character
configuration. On some platforms we must include <wchar.h> to
define this (reported by Daniel Jacobowitz).
+ incorporate some of the changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
20020112a
+ workaround for awk did not work with mawk, adjusted shell script.
20020112
+ add Caps.osf1r5, as an example.
+ modify behavior of can_clear_with() so that if an application is
running in a non-bce terminals with default colors enabled, it
returns true, allowing the user to select/paste text without picking
up extraneous trailing blanks (adapted from patch by Daniel
Jacobowitz <dmj+@andrew.cmu.edu>).
+ modify generated curses.h to ifdef-out prototypes for extensions if
they are disabled, and to define curses_version() as a string in that
case. This is needed to make the programs such as tic build in that
configuration.
+ modified generated headers.sh to remove a gzip'd version of the
target file if it exists, in case non-gzip'd manpages are installed
into a directory where gzip'd ones exist. In that case, the latter
would be found.
+ corrected a redundant initialization of signal handlers from 20010922
changes.
+ clarified bug-reporting address in terminfo.src (report by John H
DuBois III <spcecdt@armory.com>).
> several fixes from Robert Joop:
+ do not use "-v" option of awk in MKkey_defs.sh because it does not
work with SunOS nawk.
+ modify definitions for libutf8 in curses.h to avoid redefinition
warnings for mblen
+ quoted references to compiler in shell command in misc/Makefile, in
case it uses multiple tokens.
20011229
+ restore special case from 20010922 changes to omit SA_RESTART when
setting up SIGWINCH handler, which is needed to allow wgetch() to be
interrupted by that signal.
+ update configure macro CF_WITH_PATHLIST, to omit some double quotes
not needed with autoconf 2.52
+ revert configure script to autoconf 2.13 patched with
autoconf-2.13-19990117.patch.gz (or later)
from
ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
because autoconf 2.52 macro AC_PROG_AWK does not work on HPUX 11.0
(report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>). This also fixes a
different problem configuring with Mac OS X (reported by Marc Smith
<marc.a.smith@home.com>).
20011222
+ modify include/edit_cfg.h to eliminate BROKEN_LINKER symbol from
term.h
+ move prototype for _nc_vsscanf() into curses.h.in to omit
HAVE_VSSCANF symbol from curses.h, which was dependent upon the
ncurses_cfg.h file which is not installed.
+ use ACS_LEN rather than SIZEOF(acs_map) in trace code of lib_acs.c,
to work with broken linker configuration, e.g., cygwin (report by
Robert Joop <rj@rainbow.in-berlin.de>).
+ make napms() call _nc_timed_wait() rather than poll() or select(),
to work around broken implementations of these on cygwin.
20011218
+ drop configure macro CF_WIDEC_SHIFT, since that was rendered obsolete
by Sven Verdoolaege's rewrite of wide-character support. This makes
libncursesw incompatible again, but makes the header files almost the
same as in the narrow-character configuration.
+ simplify definitions that combine wide/narrow versions of bkgd, etc.,
to eliminate differences between the wide/narrow versions of curses.h
+ correct typo in configure macro CF_FUNC_VSSCANF
+ correct location of call to _nc_keypad() from 20011215 changes which
prevented keypad() from being disabled (reported by Lars Hecking).
20011215
+ rewrote ncurses 'a' test to exercise wgetch() and keypad() functions
better, e.g., by adding a 'w' command to create new windows which
may have different keypad() settings.
+ corrected logic of keypad() by adding internal screen state to track
whether the terminal's keypad-mode has been set. Use this in
wgetch() to update the keypad-mode according to whether the
associated window's keypad-mode has been set with keypad(). This
corrects a related problem restoring terminal state after handling
SIGTSTP (reported by Mike Castle).
+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52
autoconf-2.52-patch.gz
at
ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
+ minor changes to quoting in configure script to allow it to work
with autoconf 2.52
20011208
+ modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making
them independent.
+ modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make
it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect
implementation in cygwin package).
+ correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which
happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package
for ncurses).
+ modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop
6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>).
+ add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will
compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not,
force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by
Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> indicates that Solaris 8 with
64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields).
+ modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in
the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found
in the C++ runtime.
+ modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the
convention used on OS X and Darwin. Rather than something like

There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library
version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans
<jevans@apple.com>).
+ use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy
versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <jp@eyup.org>).
+ correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548).
+ replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one
that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and
AmigaOS.
20011201
+ modify script that generates fallbacks.c to compile a temporary
copy of the terminfo source in case the host does not contain all of
the entries requested for fallbacks (request by Greg Roelofs).
+ modify configure script to accommodate systems such as Mac OS X whose
<stdbool.h> header defines a 'bool' type inconsistent with ncurses,
which normally makes 'bool' consistent with C++. Include <stdbool.h>
from curses.h to force consistent usage, define a new type
NCURSES_BOOL and related that to the exported 'bool' as either a
typedef or definition, according to whether <stdbool.h> is present
(based on a bug report for tin 1.5.9 by Aaron Adams <adamsa@mac.com>).
20011124
+ added/updated terminfo entries for M$ telnet and KDE konsole -TD
20011117
+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
(Benjamin C W Sittler).
+ add putty terminfo entry -TD
+ if configuring for wide-curses, define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, since
this may not otherwise be defined to make test/view.c compile.
20011110
+ review/correct several missing/generated items in curses.wide, sorted
the lists to make subsequent diff's easier to track.
20011103
+ add manual pages for add_wch(), echo_wchar(), getcchar(),
mvadd_wch(), mvwadd_wch(), setcchar(), wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar().
+ implement wecho_wchar()
+ modify _tracedump() to handle wide-characters by mapping them to '?'
and control-characters to '.', to make the trace file readable. Also
dynamically allocate the buffer used by _tracedump() for formatting
the results.
+ modify T_CALLED/T_RETURN macros to ease balancing call/return lines
in a trace by using curly braces.
+ implement _nc_viscbuf(), for tracing cchar_t arrays.
+ correct trace-calls in setcchar() and getcchar() functions, which
traced the return values but not the entry to each function.
+ correct usage message in test/view.c, which still mentioned -u flag.
20011027
+ modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with
fallbacks only. In this case, we do not build tic and toe.
+ add configure --with-termpath option, to override default TERMPATH
value of /etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap.
+ cosmetic change to tack: make menu descriptions agree with menu
titles.
20011020
+ rewrote limit-checks in wscrl() and associated _nc_scroll_window(),
to ensure that if the parameter of wscrl() is larger than the size of
the scrolling region, then the scrolling region will be cleared
(report by Ben Kohlen <bckohlen@yahoo.com>).
+ add trace/varargs.c, using this to trace parameters in lib_printw.c
+ implement _tracecchar_t2() and _tracecchar_t().
+ split-out trace/visbuf.c
+ correct typo in lib_printw.c changes from 20010922 (report by Mike
Castle).
20011013
+ modify run_tic.sh to check if the build is a cross-compile. In that
case, do not use the build's tic to install the terminfo database
(report by Rafael Rodriguez Velilla <rrv@tid.es>).
+ modify mouse click resolution so that mouseinterval(-1) will disable
it, e.g., to handle touchscreens via a slow connection (request by
Byron Stanoszek <gandalf@winds.org>).
+ correct mouseinterval() default value shown in curs_mouse.3x
+ remove conflicting definition of mouse_trafo() (reported by Lars
Hecking, using gcc 2.95.3).
20011001

20010929
+ add -i option to view.c, to test ncurses' check for non-default
signal handler for SIGINT, etc.
+ add cases for shared-libraries on Darwin/OS X (patch by Rob Braun
<bbraun@synack.net>).
+ modify tset to restore original I/O modes if an error is encountered.
Also modify to use buffered stderr consistently rather than mixing
with write().
+ change signal_name() function to use if-then-else rather than case
statement, since signal-values aren't really integers (reported by
Larry Virden).
+ add limit checks in wredrawln(), fixing a problem where lynx was
repainting a pad which was much larger than the screen.
20010922
+ fix: PutRange() was counting the second part of a wide character as
part of a run, resulting in a cursor position that was one too far
(patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
+ modify resizeterm() to not queue a KEY_RESIZE if there was no
SIGWINCH, thereby separating the two styles of SIGWINCH handling
in test/view.c
+ simplified lib_tstp.c, modify it to use SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH.
+ eliminate several static buffers in the terminfo compiler, using
allocated buffers.
+ modify MKkeyname.awk so that keyname() does not store its result into
a static buffer that is overwritten by the next call.
+ reorganize the output of infocmp -E and -e options to compile cleanly
with gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings.
+ remove redefinition of chgat/wchgat/mvwchgat from curses.wide
20010915
+ add label to test/view.c, showing the name of the last key or signal
that made the screen repaint, to make it clearer when a sigwinch
does this.
+ use ExitProgram() consistently in the test-programs to make it
simpler to test leaks with dmalloc, etc.
+ move hashtab static data out of hashmap.c into SCREEN struct.
+ make NO_LEAK code compile with revised WINDOWLIST structs.
20010908
+ modify tgetent() to check if exit_attribute_mode resets the alternate
character set, and if so, attempt to adjust the copy of the termcap
"me" string which it will return to eliminate that part. In
particular, 'screen' would lose track of line-drawing characters
(report by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>, analysis by
Michael Schroeder).
20010901
+ specify DOCTYPE in html manpages.
+ add missing macros for several "generated" functions: attr_get(),
attr_off(), attr_on(), attr_set(), chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat() and
mouse_trafo().
+ modify view.c to agree with non-experimental status of ncurses'
sigwinch handler:
+ change the sense of the -r option, making it default to ncurses'
sigwinch handler.
+ add a note explaining what functions are unsafe in a signal
handler.
+ add a -c option, to set color display, for testing.
+ unset $data variable in MKterminfo.sh script, to address potential
infinite loop if shell malfunction (report by Samuel Mikes
<smikes@cubane.com>, for bash 2.05.0 on a Linux 2.0.36 system).
+ change kbs in mach terminfo entries to ^? (Marcus Brinkmann
<Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>).
+ correct logic for COLORFGBG environment variable: if rxvt is compiled
with xpm support, the variable has three fields, making it slightly
incompatible with itself. In either case, the background color is
the last field.
20010825
+ move calls to def_shell_mode() and def_prog_mode() before loop with
callbacks in lib_set_term.c, since the c++ demo otherwise initialized
the tty modes before saving them (patch by John David Anglin
<dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>).
+ duplicate logic used to initialize trace in newterm(), in initscr()
to avoid confusing trace of initscr().
+ simplify allocation of WINDOW and WINDOWLIST structs by making the
first a part of the second rather than storing a pointer. This saves
a call to malloc for each window (discussion with Philippe Blain).
+ remove unused variable 'used_ncv' from lib_vidattr.c (Philippe
Blain).
+ modify c++/Makefile.in to accommodate archive programs that are
different for C++ than for C, and add cases for vendor's C++
compilers on Solaris and IRIX (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+ correct manpage description of criteria for deciding if the terminal
supports xterm mouse controls.
+ add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling:
--with-build-cc, --with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and
--with-build-libs (request by Greg Roelofs).
+ change criteria for deciding if configure is cross-compiling from
host/build mismatch to host/target mismatch (request by Greg Roelofs
<greg.roelofs@philips.com>).
+ correct logic for infocmp -e and -E options which writes the data for
the ext_Names[] array. This is needed if one constructs a fallback
table for a terminfo entry which uses extended termcap names, e.g.,
AX in a color xterm.
+ fix undefined NCURSES_PATHSEP when configure --disable-database
option is given.
20010811
+ fix for VALID_BOOLEAN() macro when char is not signed.
+ modify 'clean' rule for C++ binding to work with Sun compiler, which
caches additional information in a subdirectory of the objects.
+ added llib-ncursesw.
20010804
+ add Caps.keys example for experimental extended function keys
(adapted from a patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
+ correct parameter types of vidputs() and vidattr() to agree with
header files (report by William P Setzer).
+ fix typos in several man-pages (patch by William P Setzer).
+ remove unneeded ifdef for __GNUG__ in CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC configure
macro, which made ncurses C++ binding fail to build with other
C++ compilers such as HPUX 11.x (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+ workaround for bug in HPUX 11.x C compiler: add a blank after
NCURSES_EXPORT macro in form.h (report by Albert Chin-A-Young)
+ ignore blank lines in Caps* files in MKkey_defs.sh script (report by
Albert Chin-A-Young).
+ correct definition of key_end in Caps.aix4, which left KEY_END
undefined (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+ remove a QNX-specific fallback prototype for vsscanf(), which is
obsolete with QNX RTP.
+ review/fix some of the T() and TR() macro calls, having noticed that
there was no data for delwin() in a trace of dialog because there was
no returnVoid call for wtimeout(). Also, traces in lib_twait.c are
now selected under TRACE_IEVENT rather than TRACE_CALLS.
20010728
+ add a _nc_access() check before opening files listed via $TERMPATH.
+ using modified man2html, regenerate some of the html manpages to fix
broken HREF's where the link was hyphenated.
20010721
+ add some limit/pointer checks to -S option of tputs.
+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
(Benjamin C W Sittler).
+ add a note in curs_termcap.3x regarding a defect in the XSI
description of tgetent (based on a discussion with Urs Jansen
regarding the HPUX 11.x implementation, whose termcap interface is
not compatible with existing termcap programs).
+ modify manhtml rule in dist.mk to preserve copyright notice on the
generated files, as well as to address HTML style issues reported by
tidy and weblint. Regenerated/updated corresponding html files.
+ comment out use of Protected_Character and related rarely used
attributes in ncurses Ada95 test/demo to compile with wide-character
configuration.
20010714
+ implement a simple example in C++ demo to test scanw().
+ corrected stdio function used to implement scanw() in cursesw.cc
+ correct definition of RemAttr() macro from 20010602 changes, which
caused C++ SillyDemo to not show line-drawing characters.
+ modify C++ binding, adding getKey() which can be overridden by user
to substitute functions other than getch() for keyboard processing
of forms and menus (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
20010707
+ fix some of the trace calls which needed modification to work with
new wide-character structures.
+ modify magic-cookie code in tty_update.c to compile with new
wide-character structures (report by <George.R.Goffe@seagate.com>).
+ ensure that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined in curses.priv.h if
compiling for wide-character configuration.
+ make addwnstr() handle non-spacing characters (patch by Sven
Verdoolaege).
20010630
+ add configure check to define _GNU_SOURCE, needed to prop up glibc
header files.
+ split-out include/curses.wide to solve spurious redefinitions caused
by defining _GNU_SOURCE, and move includes for <signal.h> before
<curses.h> to work around misdefinition of ERR in glibc 2.1.3 header
file.
+ extended ospeed change to NetBSD and OpenBSD -TD
+ modify logic in lib_baudrate.c for ospeed, for FreeBSD to make it
work properly for termcap applications (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
20010623
+ correct an overlooked CharOf/UChar instance (reports by Eugene Lee
<eugene@anime.net>, Sven Verdoolaege).
+ correct unneeded ifdef for wunctrl() (reported by Sven Verdoolaege)
20010618
+ change overlooked several CharOf/UChar instances.
> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
+ correct a typo in wunctrl(), which made it appear that botwc() was
needed (no such function: use btowc()).
+ reimplement wide-character demo in test/view.c, using new functions.
+ implement getcchar(), setcchar(), wadd_wchnstr() and related macros.
+ fix a syntax problem with do/if/while in PUTC macro (curses.priv.h).
20010616
+ add parentheses in macros for malloc in test.priv.h, fixes an
expression in view.c (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.co.at>).
+ add Caps.uwin, as an example.
+ change the way curses.h is generated, making the list of function
key definitions extracted from the Caps file.
+ add #undef's before possible redefinition of ERR and OK in curses.h
+ modify logic in tic, toe, tput and tset which checks for basename of
argv[0] to work properly on systems such as OS/2 which have
case-independent filenames and/or program suffixes, e.g., ".ext".
20010609
+ add a configure check, if --enable-widec is specified, for putwc(),
which may be in libutf8.
+ remove some unnecessary text from curs_extend.3x and
default_colors.3x which caused man-db to make incorrect symbolic
links (Debian bug report #99550).
+ add configure check if cast for _IO_va_list is needed to compile
C++ vscan code (Debian bug report #97945).
> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
+ correct code that used non-standard auto-initialization of a struct,
which gcc allows (report by Larry Virden).
+ use putwc() in PUTC() macro.
+ make addstr() work for the special case where the codeset is
non-stateful (eg. UTF-8), as well as stateful codesets.
20010603
+ correct loop expression in NEXT_CHAR macro for lib_addstr.c changes
from 20010602 (report by Mike Castle).
20010602
+ modify mvcur() to avoid emitting newline characters when nonl() mode
is set. Normally this is not a problem since the actual terminal
mode is set to suppress nl/crlf translations, however it is useful to
allow the caller to manipulate the terminal mode to avoid staircasing
effects after spawning a process which writes messages (for lynx
2.8.4) -TD
> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>:
+ remove redundant type-conversion in fifo_push()
+ correct definition of addwstr() macro in curses.h.in
+ remove _nc_utf8_outch()
+ rename most existing uses of CharOf() to UChar(), e.g., where it is
used to prevent sign-extension in ctype macros.
+ change some chtype's to attr_t's where the corresponding variables
are used to manipulate attributes.
+ UpdateAttr() was applied to both attributes (attr_t) and characters
(chtype). Modify macro and calls to it to make these distinct.
+ add CharEq() macro, use in places where wide-character configuration
implementation uses a struct for cchar_t.
+ moved struct ldat into curses.priv.h, to hide implementation details.
+ change CharOf() macro to use it for masking A_CHARTEXT data from
chtype's.
+ add L() macro to curses.priv.h, for long-character literals.
+ replace several assignments from struct ldat entries to chtype or
char values with combinations of CharOf() and AttrOf() macros.
+ add/use intermediate ChAttrOf() and ChCharOf() macros where we know
we are using chtype data.
+ add/use lowlevel attribute manipulation macros AddAttr(), RemAttr()
and SetAttr().
+ add/use SetChar() macro, to change a cchar_t based on a character and
attributes.
+ convert most internal use of chtype to NCURSES_CH_T, to simplify use
of cchar_t for wide-character configuration. Similarly, use ARG_CH_T
where a pointer would be more useful.
+ add stubs for tracing cchar_t values.
+ add/use macro ISBLANK()
+ add/use constructors for cchar_t's: NewChar(), NewChar2().
+ add/use macros CHREF(), CHDEREF(), AttrOfD(), CharOfD() to facilitate
passing cchar_t's by address.
+ add/use PUTC_DATA, PUTC() macros.
+ for wide-character configuration, move the window background data to
the end of the WINDOW struct so that whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
is defined or not, the offsets in the struct will not change.
+ modify addch() to work with wide-characters.
+ mark several wide-character functions as generated in curses.h.in
+ implement wunctrl(), wadd_wch(), wbkgrndset(), wbkgrnd(),
wborder_set() and waddnwstr().
20010526
+ add experimental --with-caps=XXX option to customize to similar
terminfo database formats such as AIX 4.x
+ add Caps.aix4 as an example.
+ modify Caps to add columns for the the KEY_xxx symbols.
+ modify configure --with-widec to suppress overwrite of libcurses.so
and curses.h
+ add checks to toe.c to avoid being confused by files and directories
where we would expect the reverse, e.g., source-files in the
top-level terminfo levels as is the case for AIX.
20010519
+ add top-level 'depend' rule for the C sources, assuming that the
makedepend program is available. As a side-effect, this makes
the generated sources, as in "make sources" (prompted by a report
by Mike Castle that "make -j" fails because the resulting parallel
processes race to generate ncurses/names.c).
+ modify configure script so that --disable-overwrite option's action
to add a symbolic link for libcurses applies to the static library as
well as the shared library when both are configured (report by Felix
Natter <f.natter@ndh.net>).
+ add ELKS terminfo entries (Federico Bianchi
<bianchi@www.arte.unipi.it>)
+ add u6 (CSR) to Eterm (Michael Jennings).

20010512
+ modify test/ncurses.c to work with xterm-256color, which has fewer
color pairs than colors*colors (report by David Ellement
<ellement@sdd.hp.com>).
20010505
+ corrected screen.xterm-xfree86 entry.
+ update comment in Caps regarding IBM (AIX) function-key definitions.
20010421
+ modify c++/Makefile.in to link with libncurses++w.a when configured
for wide-characters (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
+ add check in _nc_trace_buf() to refrain from freeing a null pointer.
+ improve CF_PROG_INSTALL macro using CF_DIRNAME.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from autoconf 2.49e (alpha).
20010414
+ add secondary check in tic.c, similar_sgr() to see if the reason
for mismatch was that the individual capabilities used a time-delay
while sgr did not. Used this to cleanup mismatches, e.g., in vt100,
and remove time-delay from Apple_Terminal entries.
+ add Apple_Terminal terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler
<bsittler@iname.com>).
+ correct definitions of shifted editing keys for xterm-xfree86 -TD
+ fix a bug in test/bs.c from 20010407 (patch by Erik Sigra).
+ prevent relative_move() from doing an overwrite if it detects 8-bit
characters when configured for UTF-8 (reported by Sven Verdoolaege
<skimo@kotnet.org>).
20010407
+ add configure checks for strstream.h vscan function, and similar
stdio-based function which may be used in C++ binding for gcc 3.0
(reports by George Goffe, Lars Hecking, Mike Castle).
+ rewrite parts of configure.in which used changequote(). That feature
is broken in the latest autoconf alphas (e.g., 2.49d).
+ add a missing pathname for ncurses_dll.h, needed when building in
a directory outside the source tree (patch by Sven Verdoolaege
<skimo@kotnet.org>).

are other symbols defined in the header files which begin with a
leading underscore, but they are part of the legacy interface.
+ reorder includes in c++ binding so that rcs identifiers can be
compiled-in.
+ add .cc.ii rule to c++ makefile, to get preprocessor output for
debugging.
+ correct configure script handling of @keyword@ substitutions when the
--with-manpage-renames option is given (cf: 20000715, fixes Debian
bug #89939).
+ report stack underflow/overflow in tparm() when tic -cv option is

+ remove spurious "%|" operator from xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry,
(reported by Adam Costello <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian bug #89222).
20010310
+ cleanup of newdemo.c, fixing some ambiguous expressions noted by gcc
2.95.2, and correcting some conflicting color pair initializations.
+ add missing copyright notice for cursesw.h
+ review, make minor fixes for use of '::' for referring to C-language
interface from C++ binding.
+ modify configure check for g++ library slightly to accommodate
nonstandard version number, e.g., <vendor>-2.7 (report by Ronald Ho
<rho@mipos2.intel.com>).
+ add configure check for c++ <sstream> header, replace hardcoded
ifdef.
+ workaround for pre-release of gcc 3.0 libstdc++, which has dropped
vscan from strstreambuf to follow standard, use wrapper for C vscanf
instead (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@excite.com> and Matt Taggart
<taggart@carmen.fc.hp.com>, fixes Debian .
20010303
+ modify interface of _nc_get_token() to pass 'silent' parameter to it,
to make quieter loading of /etc/termcap (patch by Todd C Miller).
+ correct a few typos in curs_slk.3x and curs_outopts.3x manpages
(patch by Todd C Miller).
20010224
+ compiler-warning fixes (reported by Nelson Beebe).
20010210
+ modify screen terminfo entry to use new 3.9.8 feature allowing xterm
mouse controls -TD
20010203
+ broaden patterns used to match OS/2 EMX in configure script to cover
variant used in newer config.guess/config.sub
+ remove changequote() calls from configure script, since this feature
is broken in the autoconf 2.49c alpha, maintainers decline to fix.
+ remove macro callPutChar() from tty_update.c, since this is no longer
needed (reported by Philippe Blain).
+ add a null-pointer check in tic.c to handle the case when the input
file is really empty. Modify the next_char() function in comp_scan.c
to allow arbitrarily long lines, and incidentally supply a newline to
files that do not end in a newline. These changes improve tic's
recovery from attempts to read binary files, e.g., its output from
the terminfo database (reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
20010127
+ revert change to c++/demo.cc from 20001209, which changed definition
of main() apparently to accommodate cygwin linker, but broke the demo
program.
+ workaround for broken egcs 2.91.66 which calls member functions
(i.e., lines() and colors() of NCursesWindow before calling its
constructor. Add calls to initialize() in a few constructors which
did not do this already.
+ use the GNAT preprocessor to make the necessary switch between TRACE
and NO_TRACE configurations (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
+ modify kterm terminfo entry to use SCS sequence to support alternate
character set (it does not work with SI/SO).
+ --with-ospeed=something didn't work. configure.in checked for a
$enableval where it should check for $withval. Also,
ncurses/llib-lncurses still had a hardcoded short.
20010114
+ correction to my merge of Tom Riddle's patch that broke tic in some
conditions (reported by Enoch Wexler <enoch@wexler.co.il>) -TD
20010113
+ modify view.c to test halfdelay(). Like other tests, this recognizes
the 's' and space commands for stopping/starting polled input, shows
a freerunning clock in the header. If given a parameter to 's', that
makes view.c use halfdelay() with that parameter rather than
nodelay().
+ fix to allow compile with the experimental configure option
--disable-hashmap.
+ modify postprocess_termcap() to avoid overwriting key_backspace,
key_left, key_down when processing a non-base entry (report/patch by
Tom Riddle).
+ modify _nc_wrap_entry(), adding option to reallocate the string
table, needed in _nc_merge_entry() when merging termcap entries.
(adapted from report/patch by Tom Riddle <ftr@oracom.com>).
+ modify a few configure script macros to keep $CFLAGS used only for
compiler options, preprocessor options in $CPPFLAGS.
20001230
+ correct marker positions in lrtest.c after receiving a sigwinch.
+ fix ifdef's in ncurses.c to build against pre-5.2 for testing.

+ modify logic in lib_setup.c to allow either lines or columns value

+ add check in lib_tgoto.c's is_termcap() function to reject null or
empty strings (reported by Valentin Nechayev <netch@netch.kiev.ua> to
freebsd-bugs).
+ add definition from configure script that denotes the path-separator,
which is normally a colon. The path-separator is a semicolon on
OS/2 EMX and similar systems which may use a colon within pathnames.

20001111
+ minor optimization in comp_error.c and lib_termname.c, using
strncat() to replace strncpy() (patch by Solar Designer).
+ add a use_terminfo_vars() check for $HOME/.termcap, and check for
geteuid() to use_terminfo_vars() (patch by Solar Designer
<solar@false.com>).
+ improved cygwin terminfo entry, based on patch by
<ernie_boyd@yahoo.com>.
+ modify _nc_write_entry() to allow for the possibility that linking
aliases on a filesystem that ignores case would not succeed because
the source and destination differ only by case, e.g., NCR260VT300WPP0
on cygwin (report by Neil Zanella).
+ fix a typo in the curs_deleteln.3x man page (patch by Bernhard
Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
20001104
+ add configure option --with-ospeed to assist packagers in transition
to 5.3 change to ospeed type.
+ add/use CharOf() macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on
platforms where this is a problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris.
+ change trace output to binary format.
+ correct a missing quote adjustment in CF_PATH_SYNTAX autoconf
macro, for OS/2 EMX configuration.
+ rearrange a few configure macros, moving preprocessor options to
$CPPFLAGS (a now-obsolete version of autoconf did not consistently
use $CPPFLAGS in both the compile and preprocessor checks).
+ add a check in relative_move() to guard against buffer overflow in
the overwrite logic.
20001028
+ add message to configure script showing g++ version.
+ resync config.guess, config.sub
+ modify lib_delwin.c, making it return ERR if the window did not exist
(suggested by Neil Zanella).
+ add cases for FreeBSD 3.1 to tdlint and makellib scripts, used this
to test/review ncurses library. (Would use lclint, but it doesn't
work).
+ reorganized knight.c to avoid forward references. Correct screen
updates when backtracking, especially to the first cell. Add F/B/a
commands.
20001021 5.2 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+ update generated html files from manpages.
+ modify dist.mk to use edit_man.sh to substitute autoconf'd variables
in html manpages.
+ fix an uninitialized pointer in read_termcap.c (report by Todd C
Miller, from report/patch by Philip Guenther <guenther@gac.edu>).
+ correct help-message and array limit in knight.c (patch by Brian
Raiter <breadbox@muppetlabs.com>).
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ fix to avoid warning by GNAT-3.13p about use of inconsistent casing
for some identifiers defined in the standard package.
+ cosmetic change to forms/fty_enum.c
20001014
+ correct an off-by-one position in test/railroad.c which could cause
wrapping at the right margin.
+ test/repair some issues with libtool configuration. Make
--disable-echo force libtool --silent. (Libtool does not work for
OS/2 EMX, works partly for SCO - libtool is still very specific to
gcc).
+ change default of --with-manpage-tbl to "no", since for most of the
platforms which do have tbl installed, the system "man" program
understands how to run tbl automatically.
+ minor improvement to force_bar() in comp_parse.c (Bernhard
Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
+ modify lib_tparm.c to use get_space() before writing terminating
null character, both for consistency as well as to ensure that if
save_char() was called immediately before, that the allocated memory
is enough (patch by Sergei Ivanov).
+ add note about termcap ML capability which is duplicated between two
different capabilities: smgl and smglr (reported by Sergei Ivanov
<svivanov@pdmi.ras.ru>).
+ correct parameter counts in include/Caps for dclk as well as some
printer-specific capabilities: csnm, defc, scs, scsd, smgtp, smglp.
> patch by Johnny C Lam <lamj@stat.cmu.edu>:
+ add support for building with libtool (apparently version 1.3.5,
since old versions do not handle -L../lib), using new configure
option --with-libtool.
+ add configure option --with-manpage-tbl, which causes the manpages to
be preprocessed by tbl(1) prior to installation,
+ add configure option --without-curses-h, which causes the
installation process to install curses.h as ncurses.h and make
appropriate changes to headers and manpages.

20001009
+ correct order of options/parameters in run_tic.in invocation of tic,
which did not work with standard getopt() (reported by Ethan
Butterfield <primus@veris.org>).
+ correct logic for 'reverse' variable in lib_vidattr.c, which was
setting it true without checking if newmode had A_REVERSE set, e.g.,
using $TERM=ansi on OS/2 EMX (see 20000917).

2000-10-11 07:31:01 +00:00
+ add a few missing use_terminfo_vars() and fixes up _nc_tgetent().
Previously, _nc_cgetset() would still get called on cp so the
simplest thing is to set cp to NULL if !use_terminfo_vars().
+ added checks for an empty $HOME environment variable.

2000-10-11 07:31:01 +00:00
+ modify convert_configure.pl to support INSTALL. Change compiler
options in that script to use multithreading, needed for the mouse.
+ modify OS/2 mouse support, retrying as a 2-button mouse if code fails
to set up a 3-button mouse.
+ improve code for OS/2 mouse support, using _nc_timed_wait() to
replace select() call.
20001007
+ change type of ospeed variable back to short to match its use in
legacy applications (reported by Andrey A Chernov).
+ add case to configure script for --enable-rpath on IRIX (patch by
Albert Chin-A-Young).
+ minor fix to position_check() function, to ensure it gets the whole
cursor report before decoding.
+ add configure option --disable-assumed-color, to allow pre-5.1

+ add configure option --disable-root-environ, which tells ncurses to
disregard $TERMINFO and similar environment variables if the current
user is root, or running setuid/setgid (based on discussion with
several people).
+ modified misc/run_tic.in to use tic -o, to eliminate dependency on
$TERMINFO variable for installs.
+ add table entry for plab_norm to tput, so it passes in strings
for that capability.
+ modify parse_format() in lib_tparm.c to ignore precision if it is
longer than 10000 (report by Jouko Pynnonen).
+ rewrote limit checks in lib_mvcur.c using new functions
_nc_safe_strcat(), etc. Made other related changes to check lengths

+ modify several descriptions, including those for setaf, setab, in
include/Caps to indicate that the entries are parameterized. This
information is used to tell which strings are translated when
converting to termcap. Fixes a problem where the generated termcap
would contain a spurious "%p1" for the terminfo "%p1%d".
+ modify ld -rpath options (e.g., Linux, and Solaris) to use an
absolute pathname for the build tree's lib directory (prompted by
discussion with Albert Chin-A-Young).
+ modify "make install.man" and "make uninstall.man" to include tack's
man-page.
+ various fixes for install scripts used to support configure --srcdir
and --with-install-prefix (reported by Matthew Clarke
<Matthew_Clarke@mindlink.bc.ca>).
+ make configure script checks on variables $GCC and $GXX consistently
compare against 'yes' rather than test if they are nonnull, since
either may be set to the corresponding name of the C or C++ compiler
(report/patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).

+ using parameter check added to tic, corrected 27 typos in
terminfo.src -TD
+ modify tic to verify that its inputs are really files, in case
someone tries to read a directory (or /dev/zero).
+ add a check for empty buffers returned by fgets() in comp_scan.c
next_char() function, in case tic is run on a non-text file (fixes
a core dump reported by Aaron Campbell <aaron@cs.dal.ca>).
+ add to railroad.c some code exercising tgoto(), providing an
alternate form of display if the terminal supports cursor addressing.
+ split-out tgoto() again, this time into new file lib_tgoto.c, and
implement a conventional BSD-style tgoto() which is used if the
capability string does not contain terminfo-style padding or
parameters (requested by Andrey A Chernov).
+ add check to tic which reports capabilities that do not reference
the expected number of parameters.
+ add error checking to infocmp's -v and -m options to ensure that
the option value is indeed a number.

termcap-style parameter "%." to tgoto() for switching character sets.
+ use LN_S substitution in run_tic.in, to work on OS/2 EMX which has
no symbolic links.

+ add a/A toggle to ncurses.c 'b' test, which clears/sets alternate
character set attribute from the displayed text.
+ correct inequality in parameter analysis of rewritten lib_tparm.c

+ correct an uninitialized parameter to open_tempfile() in tic.c which
made "tic -I" give an ambiguous error message about tmpnam.
+ add special case in lib_vidattr.c to reset underline and standout for
devices that have no sgr0 defined (patch by Don Lewis
<Don.Lewis@tsc.tdk.com>). Note that this will not work for bold
mode, since there is no exit-bold-mode capability.
+ improved patch for Make_Enum_Type (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ modify tparm to disallow arithmetic on strings, analyze the varargs
list to read strings as strings and numbers as numbers.
+ modify tparm's internal function spop() to treat a null pointer as
an empty string.
+ modify tput program so it can be renamed or invoked via a link as
'reset' or 'init', producing the same effect as 'tput reset' or 'tput
init'.
+ add private entrypoint _nc_basename(), use to consolidate related
code in progs, as well as accommodating OS/2 EMX pathnames.

+ modify tset.c to check for transformed "reset" program name, if any.
+ add a check for null pointer in Make_Enum_Type() (reported by Steven
W Orr <steveo@world.std.com>).
+ change functions _nc_parse_entry() and postprocess_termcap() to avoid
using strtok(), because it is non-reentrant (reported by Andrey A
Chernov <ache@nagual.pp.ru>).
+ remove "hpux10.*" case from CF_SHARED_OPTS configure script macro.
This differed from the "hpux*" case by using reversed symbolic
links, which made the 5.1 version not match the configuration of
5.0 shared libraries (reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+ correct a dependency in Ada95/src/Makefile.in which prevented
building with configure --srcdir (patch by H Nanosecond
<aldomel@ix.netcom.com>).
+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in to avoid warning if GCC_PRINTF or
GCC_SCANF was not previously defined (reported by Pavel Roskin
<proski@gnu.org>).
+ add MKncurses_def.sh to generate fallback definitions for
ncurses_cfg.h, to quiet gcc -Wundef warnings, modified ifdef's in
code to consistently use "#if" rather than "#ifdef".
20000826
+ add QNX qansi entries to terminfo -TD
+ add os2 entry to misc/emx.src (<jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
+ add configure option --with-database to allow specifying a different
terminfo source-file to install. On OS/2 EMX, this defaults to
misc/emx.src
+ change misc/run_tic.sh to derive it from misc/run_tic.in, to simplify
setting .exe extension on OS/2 EMX.
+ add .exe extension in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in,
Ada95/samples/Makefile.in, for OS/2 EMX (reported by
<jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
+ add configure check for filesystems (such as OS/2 EMX) which do not
distinguish between upper/lowercase filenames, use this to fix tags
rules in makefiles.
+ initialize fds[] array to 0's in _nc_timed_wait(); apparently poll()
only sets the revents members of that array when there is activity
corresponding to the related file (report by Glenn Cooper
<gcooper@qantas.com.au>, using Purify on Solaris 5.6).
+ change configure script to use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM rather than
AC_CANONICAL_HOST, which means that configure --target will set
a default program-prefix.
+ add note on cross-compiling to INSTALL (which does not rely on the
AC_CANONICAL_* macros).
20000819
+ add cases for EMX OS/2 to config.guess, config.sub
+ new version of config.guess, config.sub from lynx 2.8.4dev.7
+ add definitions via transform.h to allow tic and tput to check for
the transformed aliases rather than the original infotocap, etc.
+ simplify transform-expressions in progs/Makefile.in, make the
uninstall rule work for transformed program names.
+ change symbol used by --install-prefix configure option from
INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR (the latter has become common usage
although the name is misleading).
+ modify programs to use curses_version() string to report the version
of ncurses with which they are compiled rather than the
NCURSES_VERSION string. The function returns the patch level in
addition to the major and minor version numbers.
20000812
+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to make transformed program names
a parameter to that macro rather than embedding them in the macro.
+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in lynx
2.8.4dev.7).
+ add configure option --with-default-terminfo-dir=DIR to allow
specifying the default terminfo database directory (request by Albert
Chin-A-Young).
+ minor updates for terminfo.src from FreeBSD termcap change-history.
+ correct notes in README and INSTALL regarding documentation files
that were moved from misc directory to doc (report by Rich Kulawiec
<rsk@gsp.org>).
+ change most remaining unquoted parameters of 'test' in configure
script to use quotes, for instance fixing a problem in the
--disable-database option (reported by Christian Mondrup
<scancm@biobase.dk>).
+ minor adjustments to work around some of the incompatibilities/bugs
in autoconf 2.29a alpha.
+ add -I/usr/local/include when --with-ncurses option is used in
test/configure script.
+ correct logic in adjust_cancels(), which did not check both
alternatives when reclassifying an extended name between boolean,
number and string, causing an infinite loop in tic.
20000730
+ correct a missing backslash in curses.priv.h
20000729
+ change handling of non_dest_scroll_region in tty_update.c to clear
text after it is shifted in rather than before shifting out. Also
correct row computation (reported by Ruediger Kuhlmann
<uck4@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>).
+ add/use new trace function to display chtype values from winch() and
getbkgd().
+ add trace mask TRACE_ATTRS, alter several existing _tracef calls that
trace attribute changes under TRACE_CALLS to use this.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh so that functions returning chtype will call
returnChar().
+ add returnChar() trace, for functions returning chtype.
+ change indent.pro to line up parenthesis.
20000722
+ fix a heap problem with the c++ binding (report by
<alexander_liberson@ninewest.com>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ minor adjustment to ClrToEOL() to handle an out-of-bounds parameter.
+ modify the check for big-core to force a couple of memory accesses,
which may work as needed for older/less-capable machines (if not,
there's still the explicit configure option).
> fixes based on diff's for Amiga and BeOS found at
http://www.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~kuhlmann/cross/ncurses/
+ alter definition of NCURSES_CONST to make it non-empty.
+ add amiga-vnc terminfo entry.
+ redefine 'TEXT' in menu.h for AMIGA, since it is reported to have
an (unspecified) symbol conflict.
+ replaced case-statement in _nc_tracebits() for CSIZE with a table to
simplify working around implementations that define random
combinations of the related macros to zero.
+ modify configure test for tcgetattr() to allow for old
implementations, e.g., on BeOS, which only defined it as a macro.
> patches by Bruno Haible:
+ when checking LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables for UTF-8
locale, ignore those which are set to an empty value, as per SUSV2.
+ encode 0xFFFD in UTF-8 with 3 bytes, not 2.
+ modify _nc_utf8_outch() to avoid sign-extension when checking for
out-of-range value.
20000715
+ correct manlinks.sed script to avoid using ERE "\+", which is not
understood by older versions of sed (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+ implement configure script options that transform installed program
names, e.g., --program-prefix, including the manpage names and cross
references (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>).
+ correct several mismatches between manpage filename and ".TH"
directives, renaming dft_fgbg.3x to default_colors.3x and
menu_attribs.3x to menu_attributes.3x (report by Todd C Miller).
+ correct missing includes for <string.h> in several places, including
the C++ binding. This is not noted by gcc unless we use the
-fno-builtin option (reported by Igor Schein <igor@txc.com>).
+ modified progs/tset.c and tack/sysdep.c to build with sgttyb
interface if neither termio or termios is available. Tested this
with FreeBSD 2.1.5 (which does have termios - but the sgttyb does
work).
20000708 5.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+ document configure options in INSTALL.
+ add man-page for ncurses trace functions.
+ correct return value shown in curs_touch.3x for is_linetouched() and
is_wintouched(), in curs_initscr.3x for isendwin(), and in
curs_termattr.3x for has_ic() and has_il().
+ add prototypes for touchline() and touchwin(), adding them to the
list of generated functions.
+ modify fifo_push() to put ERR into the fifo just like other values to
return from wgetch(). It was returning without doing that, making
end-of-file condition incorrectly return a 0 (reported by Todd C
Miller).
+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS for progs and tack (see 971115), since they
are needed for SCO OpenServer.
+ move _nc_disable_period from free_ttype.c to comp_scan.c to appease
dynamic loaders on SCO and IRIX64.
+ add "-a" option to test/ncurses.c to invoke assume_default_colors()
for testing.
+ correct assignment in assume_default_colors() which tells ncurses
whether to use default colors, or the assumed ones (reported by Gary
Funck <gary@Intrepid.Com>).
+ review/correct logic in mk-1st.awk for making symbolic links for
shared libraries, in particular for FreeBSD, etc.
+ regenerate misc/*.def files for OS/2 EMX dll's.
+ correct quoting of values for CC_SHARED_OPTS in aclocal.m4 for
cases openbsd2*, openbsd*, freebsd* and netbsd* (patch by Peter
Wemm) (err in 20000610).
+ minor updates to release notes, as well as adding/updating URLs for
examples cited in announce.html
> several fixes from Philippe Blain <philippe.blain2@freesbee.fr>:
+ correct placement of ifdef for NCURSES_XNAMES in function
_nc_free_termtype(), fixes a memory leak.
+ add a call to _nc_synchook() to the end of function whline() like
that in wvline() (difference was in 1.9.4).
+ make ClearScreen() a little faster by moving two instances of
UpdateAttr() out of for-loops.
+ simplify ClrBottom() by eliminating the tstLine data, using for-loops
(cf: 960428).

+ add experimental configure option --enable-colorfgbg to check for
$COLORTERM variable as set by rxvt/aterm/Eterm.
+ add Eterm terminfo entry (Michael Jennings <mej@valinux.com>).
+ modify manlinks.sed to pick aliases from the SYNOPSIS section, and
several manpages so manlinks.sed can find aliases for creating
symbolic links.
+ add explanation to run_tic.sh regarding extended terminal
capabilities.
+ change message format for edit_cfg.sh, since some people interpret
it as a warning.
+ correct unescaped '$' in sysv5uw7*|unix_sv* rule for CF_SHARED_OPTS
configure macro (report by Thanh Ma <Thanh.Ma@casi-rusco.com>).

20000624 pre-release
+ modify TransformLine() to check for cells with different color pairs
that happen to render the same display colors.
+ apply $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to cost-computation in mvcur().
+ improve cost computation in PutRange() by accounting for the use
of parm_right_cursor in mvcur().
+ correct cost computation in EmitRange(), which was not using the
normalized value for cursor_address.

check for buffer overflow.
+ correct use of memset in _nc_read_entry_source() to initialize ENTRY

tparm() as 0's.
+ add a few checks in infocmp to guard against buffer overflow when
displaying string capabilities.
+ add check for zero-uses in infocmp's file_comparison() function
before calling _nc_align_termtype(). 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.

may not produce the same result as before.
+ change some private library interfaces used by infocmp, e.g.,
_nc_resolve_uses().

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 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.

+ 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

+ 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

+ modify ncurses 'd' test in case COLORS is greater than 16, e.g., for
xterm-88color, to limit the displayed/computed colors to 16.

+ modify treatment of color pair 0 so that if ncurses is configured
to support default colors, and they are not active, then ncurses
will set that explicitly, not relying on orig_colors or orig_pair.
+ add new extension, assume_default_colors() to provide better 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 specific ifdef's for some functions
that are included when --enable-ext-funcs is in effect, so their
existence can be ifdef'd in the test programs.
+ reorder some configure options, moving those extensions that have
evolved from experimental status into a new section.

+ modify linux terminfo entry to indicate that dim does not mix with
color (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@enteract.com>).
+ correct several typos in terminfo entries related to missing '['
in CSI's -TD
+ fix several compiler warnings in c++ binding (reported by Tim
Mooney for alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f
+ rename parameter of _nc_free_entries() to accommodate lint.
+ correct lint rule for tack, used incorrect list of source files.
+ add case to config.guess, config.sub for Rhapsody.
+ improve configure tests for libg++ and libstdc++ by omitting the
math library (which is missing on Rhapsody), and improved test for
the math library itself (adapted from path by Nelson H. F. Beebe).
+ explicitly initialize to zero several data items which were
implicitly initialized, e.g., cur_term. If not explicitly
initialized, their storage type is C (common), and causes problems
linking on Rhapsody 5.5 using gcc 2.7.2.1 (reported by Nelson H. F.
Beebe).
+ modify Ada95 binding to not include the linker option for Ada
bindings in the Ada headers, but in the Makefiles instead (patch by
Juergen Pfeifer).

2000-01-26 16:43:25 +00:00
19991023 5.0 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+ effective with release of 5.0, change NCURSES_VERSION_PATCH to
4-digit year.
+ add function curses_version(), to return ncurses library version
(request by Bob van der Poel).
+ remove rmam, smam from cygwin terminfo entry.
+ modify FreeBSD cons25 terminfo entry to add cnorm and cvvis, as well
as update ncv to indicate that 'dim' conflicts with colors.
+ modify configure script to use symbolic links for FreeBSD shared
libraries by default.
+ correct ranf() function in rain and worm programs to ensure it does
not return 1.0
+ hide the cursor in hanoi.c if it is running automatically.
+ amend lrtest.c to account for optimizations that exploit margin
wrapping.
+ add a simple terminfo demo, dots.c
+ modify SIGINT/SIGQUIT handler to set a flag used in _nc_outch() to
tell it to use write() rather than putc(), since the latter is not
safe in a signal handler according to POSIX.
+ add/use internal macros _nc_flush() and NC_OUTPUT to hide details
of output-file pointer in ncurses library.
+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS (see 971115), since they are needed for SCO
OpenServer.
+ correct CC_SHARED_OPTS for building shared libraries for SCO
OpenServer.
+ remove usleep() from alternatives in napms(), since it may interact
with alarm(), causing a process to be interrupted by SIGALRM (with
advice from Bela Lubkin).
+ modify terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4 to build/work with
GNAT 3.10 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ remove part of CF_GPP_LIBRARY configure-script macro, which did not
work with gcc 2.7.2.3
+ minor fix to test/tclock.c to avoid beeping more than once per second
+ add 's' and ' ' decoding to test/rain.c
991016 pre-release
+ corrected BeOS code for lib_twait.c, making nodelay() function work.
991009 pre-release
+ correct ncurses' value for cursor-column in PutCharLR(), which was
off-by-one in one case (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
+ fix some minor errors in position_check() debugging code, found while
using this to validate the PutCharLR() patch.
+ modify firework, lrtest, worm examples to be resizable, and to
recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' ' for resume.
+ restore reverted change to terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
add a note on building with gnat 3.10p to Ada95/TODO.
+ add a copy of the standalone configure script for the test-directory
to simplify testing on SCO and Solaris.
991002 pre-release

+ change renaming of dft_fgbg.3x to use_default_colors.3ncurses in
man_db.renames, since Debian is not concerned with 14-character
filename limitation (from Debian bug report by Josip Rodin
<joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>).
+ corrected scoansi terminfo entry by testing with scoterm and console.
+ revert change from 990614 to terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
since this does not work for gnat 3.10p
+ modify tclock example to be resizable (if ncurses' sigwinch handler
is used), and in color.
+ use $(CC) rather than 'gcc' in MK_SHARED_LIB symbols, used for Linux
shared library rules.
990925 pre-release
+ add newer NetBSD console terminfo entries
+ add amiga-8bit terminfo entry (from Henning 'Faroul' Peters
<Faroul@beyond.kn-bremen.de>)
+ remove -lcurses -ltermcap from configure script's check for the gpm
library, since they are not really necessary (a properly configured
gpm library has no dependency on any curses library), and if the
curses library is not installed, this would cause the test to fail.
+ modify tic's -C option so that terminfo "use=" clauses are translated
to "tc=" clauses even when running it as captoinfo.
+ modify CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY configure macro to perform its check only
for GNU C++, since that library conflicts with SGI's libC on IRIX-6.2
+ modify CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro to support build on NetBSD with
ELF libraries (patch by Bernd Ernesti <bernd@arresum.inka.de>).
+ correct a problem in libpanel, where the _nc_top_panel variable was
not set properly when bottom_panel() is called to hide a panel which
is the only one on the stack (report/analysis by Michael Andres
<ma@suse.de>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
990918 pre-release

990911 pre-release
+ improved configure checks for builtin.h
+ minor changes to C++ binding (remove static initializations, and make
configure-test for parameter initializations) for features not
allowed by vendor's C++ compilers (reported by Martin Mokrejs, this
applies to SGI, though I found SCO has the same characteristics).
+ corrected quoting of ETIP_xxx definitions which support old versions
of g++, e.g., those using -lg++
+ remove 'L' code from safe_sprintf.c, since 'long double' is not
widely portable. safe_sprintf.c is experimental, however, and
exists mainly as a fallback for systems without snprintf (reported
by Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>, for IRIX 6.2)

so that it is not unnecessarily made extern (Jeffrey C Honig).
990904 pre-release

function works only for sockets.
+ correct missing escape in mkterm.h.awk.in, which caused part
of the copyright noticed to be omitted (reported by Peter
Wemm <peter@netplex.com.au>).

+ split CF_CXX_LIBRARY into CF_GPP_LIBRARY (for -lg++) and
CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY (for -lstdc++)
990828 pre-release
+ add cygwin terminfo entry -TD
+ modify CF_PROG_EXT configure macro to set .exe extension for cygwin.
+ add configure option --without-cxx-binding, modifying the existing
--without-cxx option to check only for the C++ compiler
characteristics. Whether or not the C++ binding is needed, the
configure script checks for the size/type of bool, to make ncurses
match. Otherwise C++ applications cannot use ncurses.

> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ Fixes a problem using wbkgdset() with panels. It has actually
nothing to with panels but is a problem in the implementation of
wrefresh(). Whenever a window changes its background attribute to
something different than newscr's background attribute, the whole

side-effect of wrefresh() and it is actually not necessary. A
changed background attribute affects only further outputs of

+ an upward compatible enhancement of the NCursesPad class in the C++
binding. It allows one to add a "viewport" window to a pad and then
to use panning to view the pad through the viewport window.
990724 pre-release
+ suppress a call to def_prog_mode() in the SIGTSTP handler if the
signal was received while not in curses mode, e.g., endwin() was
called in preparation for spawning a shell command (reported by Frank
Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
+ corrected/enhanced xterm-r5, xterm+sl, xterm+sl-twm terminfo entries.
+ change test for xterm mouse capability: it now checks only if the
user's $DISPLAY variable is set in conjunction with the kmous
capability being present in the terminfo. Before, it checked if any
of "xterm", "rxvt" or "kterm" were substrings of the terminal name.
However, some emulators which are incompatible with xterm in other
ways do support the xterm mouse capability.
+ reviewed and made minor changes in ncurses to quiet g++ warnings
about shadowed or uninitialized variables. g++ incorrectly warns
about uninitialized variables because it does not take into account
short-circuit expression evaluation.
+ change ncurses 'b' test to start in color pair 0 and to show in the
right margin those attributes which are suppressed by no_color_video,
i.e., "(NCV)".
+ modify ifdef's in curses.h so that __attribute__ is not redefined
when compiling with g++, but instead disabled the macros derived for
__attribute__ since g++ does not consistently recognize the same
keywords as gcc (reported by Stephan K Zitz <zitz@erf.net>).
+ update dependencies for term.h in ncurses/modules (reported by
Ilya Zakharevich).
990710 pre-release
+ modify the form demo in ncurses.c to illustrate how to manipulate the
field appearance, e.g, for highlighting or translating the field
contents.
+ correct logic in write_entry from split-out of home_terminfo in
980919, which prevented update of $HOME/.terminfo (reported by Philip
Spencer <pspencer@fields.utoronto.ca>).

+ modify linux terminfo description to make use of kernel 2.2.x mods
that support cursor style, e.g., to implement cvvis (patch by Frank
Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
+ add special-case in setupterm to retain previously-saved terminal
settings in cur_term, which happens when curses and termcap calls are
mixed (from report by Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@dhc.net>).

caused a 4-fold slowdown in tic (cf: 980530).

> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ fixes suggested by Jeff Bradbury <jibradbury@lucent.com>:
+ improved parameter checking in new_fieldtype().
+ fixed a typo in wgetch() timeout handling.
+ allow slk_init() to be called per newterm call. The internal SLK
state is stored in the SCREEN struct after every newterm() and then
reset for the next newterm.
+ fix the problem that a slk_refresh() refreshes stdscr if the
terminal has true SLKs.
+ update HTML documentation for Ada binding.
990301 pre-release
+ remove 'bool' casts from definitions of TRUE/FALSE so that statements
such as "#if TRUE" work. This was originally done to allow for a C++
compiler which would warn of implicit conversions between enum and
int, but is not needed for g++ (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
+ add use_extended_names() function to allow applications to suppress
read of the extended capabilities.
+ add configure option --enable-tcap-names to support logic which
allows ncurses' tic to define new (i.e., extended) terminal
capabilities. This is activated by the tic -x switch. The infocmp
program automatically shows or compares extended capabilities.
Note: This changes the Strings and similar arrays in the TERMTYPE
struct so that applications which manipulate it must be recompiled.
+ use macros typeMalloc, typeCalloc and typeRealloc consistently
throughout ncurses library.
+ add _nc_strdup() to doalloc.c.
+ modify define_key() to allow multiple strings to be bound to the
same keycode.
+ correct logic error in _nc_remove_string, from 990220.

a given keycode.

defined for a keycode.
+ add check to tic to warn about terminfo descriptions that contain
more than one key assigned to the same string. This is shown only if
the verbose (-v) option is given. Moved related logic (tic -v) from

+ The option handling routines in menu and form have been made more

+ modify gen_reps() function in gen.c to work properly on SunOS
(sparc), which is a left-to-right architecture.
+ modify relative_move and tputs to avoid an interaction with the
BSD-style padding. The relative_move function could produce a string
to replace on the screen which began with a numeric character, which
was then interpreted by tputs as padding. Now relative_move will not
generate a string with a leading digit in that case (overwrite).
Also, tputs will only interpret padding if the string begins with a
digit; as coded it permitted a string to begin with a decimal point
or asterisk (reported by Larry Virden).

since that is a little more efficient.
+ minor correction to infocmp to avoid displaying "difference" between
two capabilities that are rendered in equivalent forms.
+ add -g option to tic/infocmp to force character constants to be
displayed in quoted form. Otherwise their decimal values are shown.
+ modify setupterm so that cancelled strings are treated the same as
absent strings, cancelled and absent booleans false (does not affect
tic, infocmp).
+ modify tic, infocmp to discard redundant i3, r3 strings when output
to termcap format.

+ check for terminal names > MAX_NAME_SIZE in a few more places when
dealing with env variables again.
+ fix a MAX_NAME_SIZE that should be MAX_NAME_SIZE+1
+ use sizeof instead of strlen(3) on PRIVATE_INFO since it is a fixed
string #define (compile time vs runtime).
+ when setting errno to ENOMEM, set it right before the return, not
before code that could, possibly, set errno to a different value.

+ make handling of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables more compatible with
Solaris by allowing them to individually override the window size
as obtained via ioctl.
980801
+ modify lib_vidattr.c to allow for terminal types (e.g., xterm-color)
which may reset all attributes in the 'op' capability, so that colors
are set before turning on bold and other attributes, but still after
turning attributes off.
+ add 'ditto.c' to test directory to illustrate use of newterm for
initializing multiple screens.

for a terminfo on a filesystem which does not preserve character case
(reported by Peter L Jordan <PJordan@chla.usc.edu>).
980725

+ correct conversion of CANCELLED_NUMERIC in write_object(), which was
omitting the high-order byte, producing a 254 in the compiled
terminfo.
+ modify return-values of tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tigetflag,
tigetnum and tigetstr to be compatible with Solaris (gleaned from
Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8).
+ modify _nc_syserr_abort to abort only when compiled for debugging,
otherwise simply exit with an error.
980711
+ modify Ada95 'gen' program to use appropriate library suffix (e.g.,
"_g" for a debug build).
+ update Ada95 'make clean' rule to include generics .ali files
+ add a configure test to ensure that if GNAT is found, that it can

+ merge changes from current XFree86 xterm terminfo descriptions.
+ add configure option '--without-ada'.
+ add a smart-default for termcap 'ac' to terminfo 'acs_chars' which
corresponds to vt100.
+ change translation for termcap 'rs' to terminfo 'rs2', which is
the documented equivalent, rather than 'rs1'.
980627
+ slow 'worm' down a little, for very fast machines.
+ corrected firstchar/lastchar computation in lib_hline.c
+ simplify some expressions with CHANGED_CELL, CHANGED_RANGE and
CHANGED_TO_EOL macros.
+ modify init_pair so that if a color-pair is reinitialized, we will
repaint the areas of the screen whose color changes, like SVr4 curses
(reported by Christian Maurer <maurer@inf.fu-berlin.de>).
+ modify getsyx/setsyx macros to comply with SVr4 man-page which
says that leaveok() affects their behavior (report by Darryl Miles,
patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
980620
+ review terminfo.5 against Solaris 2.6 curses version, corrected
several minor errors/omissions.
+ implement tparm %l format.
+ implement tparm printf-style width and precision for %s, %d, %x, %o
as per XSI.
+ implement tparm dynamic variables (reported by Xiaodan Tang).
980613
+ update man-page for for wattr_set, wattr_get (cf: 980509)
+ correct limits in hashtest, which would cause nonprinting characters
to be written to large screens.
+ correct configure script, when --without-cxx was specified: the
wrong variable was used for cf_cv_type_of_bool. Compilers up to gcc
2.8 tolerated the missing 'int'.
+ remove the hardcoded name "gcc" for the GNU Ada compiler. The
compiler's name might be something like "egcs" (patch by Juergen
Pfeifer).
+ correct curs_addch.3x, which implied that echochar could directly
display control characters (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
+ fix typos in ncurses-intro.html (patch by Sidik Isani
<isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
980606
+ add configure test for conflicting use of exception in math.h and
other headers.
+ minor optimization to 'hash()' function in hashmap.c, reduces its
time by 10%.

+ fix missing quotes for 'print' in MKunctrl.awk script (reported by
Mihai Budiu <mihaib@gs41.sp.cs.cmu.edu>).
> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
+ correct problem on Solaris (with poll() function) where getch could
hang indefinitely even if timeout(x) was called. This turned out to
be because milliseconds was not updated before 'goto retry' in
_nc_timed_wait.
+ simplified the function _nc_timed_wait and fixed another bug, which
was the assumption of !GOOD_SELECT && HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY in *timeleft
assignment.
+ removed the cycle on EINTR, as it seems to be useless.
980530
+ add makefile-rule for test/keynames
+ modify run_tic.sh and shlib to ensure that user's .profile does not
override the $PATH used to run tic (patch by Tim Mooney).
+ restore LD_SHARED_OPTS to $(LD_SHARED_FLAGS) when linking programs,
needed for HP-UX shared-library path (recommended by Tim Mooney).
+ remove special case of HP-UX -L options, use +b options to embed
$(libdir) in the shared libraries (recommended by Tim Mooney).
+ add checks for some possible buffer overflows and unchecked
malloc/realloc/calloc/strdup return values (patch by Todd C Miller
<Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>)
980523
+ correct maxx/maxy expression for num_columns/num_lines in derwin
(patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
+ add /usr/share/lib/terminfo and /usr/lib/terminfo as compatibilty
fallbacks to _nc_read_entry(), along with --with-terminfo-dirs
configure option (suggested by Mike Hopkirk).
+ modify config.guess to recognize Unixware 2.1 and 7 (patch by Mike
Hopkirk <hops@sco.com>).
+ suppress definition of CC_SHARED_OPTS in LDFLAGS_SHARED in c++
Makefile.in, since this conflicts when g++ is used with HP-UX
compiler (reported by Tim Mooney).
+ parenthesize 'strcpy' calls in c++ binding to workaround redefinition
in some C++ implementations (reported by several people running
egcs with glibc 2.0.93, analysis by Andreas Jaeger.
980516
+ modify write_entry.c so that it will not attempt to link aliases
with embedded '/', but give only a warning.
+ put -L$(libdir) first when linking programs, except for HP-UX.
+ modify comp_scan.c to handle SVr4 terminfo description for att477,
which contains a colon in the description field.

+ minor adjustments of const/NCURSES_CONST from IRIX compile.
+ add updates based on esr's 980509 version of terminfo.src.
980509
+ correct macros for wattr_set, wattr_get, separate wattrset macro from
these to preserve behavior that allows attributes to be combined with
color pair numbers.
+ add configure option --enable-no-padding, to allow environment
variable $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to eliminate non-mandatory padding,
thereby making terminal emulators (e.g., for vt100) a little more
efficient (request by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
+ modify configure script to embed ABI in shared libraries for HP-UX
10.x (detailed request by Tim Mooney).
+ add test/example of the 'filter()' function.
+ add nxterm and xterm-color terminfo description (request by Cristian
Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>).
+ modify rxvt terminfo description to clear alternate screen before
switching back to normal screen, for compatibility with applications
which use xterm (reported by Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@io.com>).
+ modify linux terminfo description to reset color palette (reported
by Telford Tendys <telford@eng.uts.edu.au>).
+ correction to doupdate, for case where terminal does not support
insert/delete character. The logic did not check that there was a
difference in alignment of changes to old/new screens before
repainting the whole non-blank portion of the line. Modified to fall
through into logic that reduces by the portion which does not differ
(reported by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
+ minor performance improvement to wnoutrefresh by moving some
comparisons out of inner loop.
980425
+ modify configure script to substitute NCURSES_CONST in curses.h
+ updated terminfo entries for xterm-xf86-v40, xterm-16color,
xterm-8bit to correspond to XFree86 3.9Ag.
+ remove restriction that forces ncurses to use setaf/setab if the
number of colors is greater than 8. (see 970524 for xterm-16color).
+ change order of -L options (so that $(libdir) is searched first) when
linking tic and other programs, to workaround HP's linker.
Otherwise, the -L../lib is embedded when linking against shared
libraries and the installed program does not run (reported by Ralf
Hildebrandt).
+ modify configuration of shared libraries on Digital Unix so that
versioning is embedded in the library, rather than implied by
links (patch by Tim Mooney).
980418
+ modify etip.h to avoid conflict with math.h on HP-UX 9.03 with gcc
2.8.1 which redefines 'exception' (reported by Ralf Hildebrandt
<R.Hildebrandt@tu-bs.de>).
+ correct configure tests in CF_SHARED_OPTS which used $CC value to
check for gcc, rather than autoconf's $GCC value. This did not
work properly if the full pathname of the compiler were given
(reported by Michael Yount <yount@csf.Colorado.edu>).
+ revise check for compiler options to force ANSI mode since repeating
an option such as -Aa causes HP's compiler to fail on its own headers
(reported by Clint Olsen <olsenc@ichips.intel.com>).
980411
+ ifdef'd has_key() and mcprint() as extended functions.
+ modified several prototypes to correspond with 1997 version of
X/Open Curses (affects ABI since developers have used attr_get).
+ remove spurious trailing blanks in glibc addon-scripts (patch by
H.J.Lu).
+ insert a few braces at locations where gcc-2.8.x asks to use them to
avoid ambigous else's, use -fpic rather than -fPIC for Linux (patch
by Juergen Pfeifer).
980404
+ split SHLIB_LIST into SHLIB_DIRS/SHLIB_LIST to keep -L options
before -l to accommodate Solaris' linker (reported by Larry Virden).
980328
+ modify lib_color.c to eliminate dependency on orig_colors and
orig_pair, since SVr4 curses does not require these either, but
uses them when they are available.
+ add detailed usage-message to infocmp.
+ correct a typo in att6386 entry (a "%?" which was "?").
+ add -f option to infocmp and tic, which formats the terminfo
if/then/else/endif so that they are readable (with newlines and
tabs).
+ fixes for glibc addon scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
980321
+ revise configure macro CF_SPEED_TYPE so that termcap.h has speed_t

+ improved version of wredrawln (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ correct c++/Makefile.in so install target do not have embedded ../lib
to confuse it (patch by Thomas Graf <graf@essi.fr>).
+ add warning to preinstall rule which checks if the installer would
overwrite a curses.h or termcap.h that is not derived from ncurses.
(The recommended configuration for developers who need both is to
use --disable-overwrite).
+ modify preinstall rule in top-level Makefile to avoid implicit
use of 'sh', to accommodate Ultrix 4.4 (reported by Joao Palhoto
Matos <jmatos@math.ist.utl.pt>, patch by Thomas Esser
<te@informatik.uni-hannover.de>)

on libtinfo when TRACE is disabled.

gcc-2.8.0 c++ and the corresponding new C++ libraries.
980110
+ correct "?" command in ncurses.c; it was performing non-screen writes

that version sets OPOST and OCRNL incorrectly).
+ return error from functions in lib_kernel, lib_raw and lib_ti if
cur_term is null, or if underlying I/O fails.

+ minor fixes to allow compile with g++ (suggested by Nelson H. F.
Beebe).
+ implement install-rules for Ada95 makefiles.
+ use screen_lines or MAXLINES as needed where LINES was coded,
as well as screen_columns for COLS, in the ncurses library.
> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ modify logic for ripped-off lines to handle several SCREENs.
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ factors lib_slk.c into some smaller modules
+ factors panel.c into some smaller modules
+ puts the static information about the current panel stack into the
SCREEN structure to allow different panel stacks on different
screens.
+ preliminary fix for an error adjusting LINES to account for
ripped-off lines.
971011
+ move _nc_max_click_interval and other mouse interface items to SCREEN
struct so that they are associated with a single terminal, and also
save memory when the application does not need a mouse (roughly 3k vs
0.5k on Linux).
+ modify mouseinterval() so that a negative parameter queries the
click-interval without modifying it.
+ modify ncurses 'i' test to work with ncurses' apparent extension from
SVr4, i.e., allows nocbreak+noecho (analysis by Alexander V.
Lukyanov).
+ add configure options --with-ada-includes and --with-ada-objects,
to drive Ada95 binding install (not yet implemented).
+ install C++ binding as -lncurses++ and associated headers with the
other ncurses headers.
+ fix header uninstall if configure --srcdir is used.

971004
+ add color, mouse support to kterm terminfo entry.
+ modify lib_mouse.c to recognize rxvt, kterm, color_xterm also as
providing "xterm"-style mouse.
+ updated rxvt's terminfo description to correspond to 2.21b, with
fixes for the acsc (the box1 capability is incorrect, ech1 does not
work).
+ fix logic in parse_entry.c that discarded acsc when 'synthesizing'
an entry from equivalents in XENIX or AIX. This lets ncurses handle
the distribution copy of rxvt's terminfo.
+ modify acsc capability for linux and linux-koi8 terminfo descriptions

+ adds dummy implementations of methods above() and below() to the
NCursesPanel class.

+ fixes missing returncode in TestApplication::run() in demo.cc
+ We should at least give a comment in etip.h why it is currently a

970920
+ several modifications to the configure script (requested by Ward
Horner):
+ add configure options --without-progs, to suppress the build of the
utility programs, e.g., for cross-compiling.
+ add $(HOSTCCFLAGS) and $(HOSTLDFLAGS) symbols to ncurses
Makefile.in, to simplify setup for cross compiling.
+ add logic in configure script to recognize "--target=vxworks", and
generate load/install actions for VxWorks objects.
+ move typedef for sigaction_t into SigAction.h to work around problem
generating lint library.
+ modify fty_regex.c to reflect renaming of ifdef's for regular
expressions.
+ simplify ifdef in lib_setup.c for TIOCGWINSZ since that symbol may
reside in <sys/ioctl.h>.
+ merge testcurs.c with version from PDCurses 2.3, clarifying some of
the more obscure tests, which rely upon color.
+ use macros getbegyx() and getmaxyx() in newdemo.c and testcurs.c
+ modify ncurses.c to use getbegyx() and getmaxyx() macros to cover up
implementation difference wrt SVr4 curses, allow 's' test to work.

+ The C++ binding has been enhanced:
+ Improve NCursesWindow class: added additional methods to cover
more ncurses functionality. Make refresh() and noutrefresh()
virtual members to allow different implementation in the
NCursesPanel class.
+ CAUTION: changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
NCursesWindow class.
+ Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
reimplementation of refresh() in the base class. Added
noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
+ Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
functionality.
+ Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to etip.h
+ Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration of
menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of title lines
and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
+ Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menu's fieldlist.
+ Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for menus.
+ Enhanced demo.
+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_def.c: take into account that copyarg and
freearg for a fieldtype may be NULL, makearg must not be NULL
+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_type.c: in set_fieldtype_arg() makearg must
not be NULL, copyarg and freearg may be NULL.
+ Fixed a bug in form/frm_def.c: Allow Disconnect_Fields() if it is
already disconnected.
+ Enhance form/frm_driver.c: Allow growth of dynamic fields also on
navigation requests.
+ Fixed a bug in form/fty_enum.c: wrong position of postincrement in
case-insensitiva comparision routine.
+ Enhanced form/lib_adabind.c with function _nc_get_field() to get a
forms field by index.
+ Enhanced menu/m_adabind.c with function _nc_get_item() to get a menus
item by index.
+ Fixed in curses.h.in: make chtype argument for pechochar() constant.
Mark wbkgdset() as implemented, remove wbkgdset macro, because it was
broken (didn't handle colors correctly).
+ Enhanced lib_mouse.c: added _nc_has_mouse() function
+ Added _nc_has_mouse() prototype to curses.priv.h
+ Modified lib_bkgd.c: hopefully correct implementation of wbkgdset();
streamlined implementation of wbkgd()
+ Modified lib_mvwin.c: Disable move of a pad. Implement (costly)

+ Fixed lib_pad.c: make chtype argument of pechochar() const.
+ Fixed lib_window.c: dupwin() is not(!) in every bit a really clone
of the original. Subwindows become regular windows by doing a
dupwin().
+ Improved manpage form_fieldtype.3x
> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ simplify the PutChar() handling of exit_am_mode, because we already
know that auto_right_margin is true.
+ add a check in PutChar() for ability to insert to the case of
shifting character to LR corner.
+ in terminal initialization by _nc_screen_resume(), make sure that
terminal right margin mode is known.
+ move logic that invokes touchline(), or does the equivalent, into
_nc_scroll_window().
+ modify scrolling logic use of insert/delete line capability, assuming
that they affect the screen contents only within the current
scrolling region.
+ modify rain.c to demonstrate SIGWINCH handler.
+ remove logic from getch() that would return an ERR if the application
called getch() when the cursor was at the lower-right corner of the
physical screen, and the terminal does not have insert-character
ability.
+ change view.c so that it breaks out of getch() loop if a KEY_RESIZE
is read, and modify logic in getch() so this fix will yield the
desired behavior, i.e., the screen is repainted automatically when
the terminal window is resized.
970906
+ add configure option --enable-sigwinch
+ modify view.c to test KEY_RESIZE logic, with "-r" option.
+ modify testcurs.c to eliminate misleading display wrt cursor type
by testing if the terminal supports cnorm, civis, cvvis.
+ several fixes for m68k/NeXT 4.0, to bring cur_term, _nc_curr_line and
_nc_curr_col variables into linked programs: move these variables,
making new modules lib_cur_term and trace_buf (reported by Francisco
Alberto Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu>).
> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ add pseudo-functionkey KEY_RESIZE which is returned by getch() when
the SIGWINCH handler has been called since the last call to
doupdate().
+ modify lib_twait.c to hide EINTR only if HIDE_EINTR is defined.
+ add SIGWINCH handler to ncurses library which is used if there is no
application SIGWINCH handler in effect when the screen is
initialized.
+ make linked list of all SCREEN structures.
+ move curses.h include before definition of SCREEN to use types in
that structure.
+ correction to ensure that wgetstr uses only a newline to force a
scroll (970831).
970831
+ add experimental configure option --enable-safe-sprintf; the normal
mode now allocates a buffer as large as the screen for the
lib_printw.c functions.
+ modify wgetch to refresh screen when reading ungetch'd characters,
since the application may require this - SVr4 does this.
+ refine treatment of newline in wgetstr to echo only when this would
force the screen to scroll.
970830
+ remove override in wgetstr() that forces keypad(), since SVr4 does
not do this.
+ correct y-reference for erasure in wgetstr() when a wrap forces a
scroll.
+ correct x-position in waddch() after a wrap forces a scroll.
+ echo newline in wgetstr(), making testscanw.c scroll properly when
scanw is done.
+ modify vwscanw() to avoid potential buffer overflow.
+ rewrote lib_printw.c to eliminate fixed-buffer limits.
> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ correct an error in handling cooked mode in wgetch(); processing
was in the wrong order.
+ simplified logic in wgetch() that handles backspace, etc., by using
wechochar().
+ correct wechochar() so that it interprets the output character as
in waddch().
+ modify pechochar() to use prefresh() rather than doupdate(), since
the latter does not guarantee immediate refresh of the pad.
+ modify pechochar() so that if called with a non-pad WINDOW, will
invoke wechochar() instead.
+ modify fifo indices to allow fifo to be longer than 127 bytes.
970823
+ add xterm-8bit to terminfo.src
+ moved logic for SP->_fifohold inside check_pending() to make it
work properly when we add calls to that function.
+ ensure that bool functions return only TRUE or FALSE, and TRUE/FALSE
are assigned to bool values (patch by H.J.Lu).
> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ several fixes to getch:
1. Separate cooked and raw keys in fifo
2. Fix the case of ungetch'ed KEY_MOUSE
3. wrap the code for hiding EINTR with ifdef HIDE_EINTR
4. correctly handle input errors (i.e., EINTR) without loss of raw
keys
5. recognize ESC KEY_LEFT and similar
6. correctly handle the case of receiption of KEY_MOUSE from gpm
+ correct off-by-one indexing error in _nc_mouse_parse(), that caused
single mouse events (press/release) to be ignored in favor of
composed events (click). Improves on a fix from integrating gpm
support in 961229.
+ add another call to check_pending, before scrolling, for
line-breakout optimization
+ improve hashmap.c by
1. fixed loop condition in grow_hunks()
2. not marking lines with offset 0
3. fixed condition of 'too far' criteria, thus one-line hunks are
ignored and two lines interchanged won't pass.
+ rewrote/simplified _nc_scroll_optimize() by separating into two
passes, forward/backward, looking for chunks moving only in the given
direction.
+ move logic that emits sgr0 when initializing the screen to
_nc_screen_init(), now invoked from newterm.
+ move cursor-movement cleanup from endwin() into _nc_mvcur_wrap()
function and screen cleanup (i.e., color) into _nc_screen_wrap()
function.
+ add new functions _nc_screen_init(), _nc_screen_resume() and
_nc_screen_wrap().
+ rename _nc_mvcur_scrolln() to _nc_scrolln().
+ add a copy of acs_map[] to the SCREEN structure, where it can be
stored/retrieved via set_term().
+ move variables _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok, _nc_windows into the SCREEN
structure.
970816
+ implement experimental _nc_perform_scroll().
+ modify newterm (actually _nc_setupscreen()) to emit an sgr0 when
initializing the screen, as does SVr4 (reported by Alexander V.
Lukyanov).
+ added test_progs rule to ncurses/Makefile.
+ modify test/configure.in to check if initscr is already in $LIBS
before looking for (n)curses library.
+ correct version-number in configure script for OSF1 shared-library
options (patch by Tim Mooney).
+ add -DNDEBUG to CPPFLAGS for --enable-assertions (as Juergen
originally patched) since the c++ demo files do not necessarily
include ncurses_cfg.h
+ supply default value for --enable-assertions option in configure
script (reported by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu>).
> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ correct/simplify logic of werase(), wclrtoeol() and wclrbot(). See
example firstlast.c
+ optimize waddch_literal() and waddch_nosync() by factoring out
common subexpressions.
+ correct sense of NDEBUG ifdef for CHECK_POSITION macro.
+ corrections to render_char(), to make handling of colored blanks
match SVr4 curses, as well as to correct a bug that xor'd space
against the background character.
+ replaced hash function with a faster one (timed it)
+ rewrote the hashmap algorithm to be one-pass, this avoids multiple
cost_effective() calls on the same lines.
+ modified cost_effective() so it is now slightly more precise.

1999-08-24 01:06:48 +00:00
+ add modules define_key, keyok, name_match, tries
+ add makefile rules for some of the unit tests in ncurses (mvcur,
captoinfo, hardscroll, hashmap).
+ update Linux configure-script for wide-character definitions.
970809
+ modify _tracebits() to show the character size (e.g., CS8).
+ modify tparm() to emit '\200' where the generated string would have a
null (reported by From: Ian Dall <Ian.Dall@dsto.defence.gov.au> for
terminal type ncr7900).
+ modify install process so that ldconfig is not invoked if the
package is built with an install-prefix.
+ correct test program for chtype size (reported by Tim Mooney).
+ add configure option --disable-scroll-hints, using this to ifdef the
logic that computes indices for _nc_scroll_optimize().
+ add module ncurses/softscroll.c, to perform single-stage computation
of scroll indices used in _nc_scroll_optimize(). This is faster than
the existing scrolling algorithm, but tends to make too-small hunks.
+ eliminate fixed buffer size in _nc_linedump().
+ minor fixes to lib_doupdate.c to add tradeoff between clr_eol (el)
and clr_bol (el1), refine logic in ClrUpdate() and ClrBottom() (patch
by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ add test/testaddch.c, from a pending patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov.
+ correct processing of "configure --enable-assertions" option (patch
by Juergen Pfeifer).
970802
+ add '-s' (single-step) option too test/hashtest.c, correct an error
in loop limit for '-f' (footer option), toggle scrollok() when
writing footer to avoid wrap at lower-right corner.
+ correct behavior of clrtoeol() immediately after wrapping cursor,
which was not clearing the line at the cursor position (reported by
Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>).
+ corrected mapping for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I' rather than 'i'
(reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@tezcat.com>).
+ many corrections to make progs/capconvert work, as well as make it
reasonably portable and integrated with ncurses 4.1 (reported by Dave
Furstenau <df@ravine.binary.net>).
970726
+ add flag SP->_fifohold, corresponding logic to modify the behavior of
the line breakout logic so that if the application does not read
input, refreshes will not be stopped, but only slowed.
+ generate slk_attr_off(), slk_attr_on(), slk_attr_set(), vid_attr(),
ifdef'd for wide-character support, since ncurses' WA_xxx attribute
masks are identical with the A_xxx masks.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to generate ifdef'd functions to support optional
configuration of wide-characters.
+ modify tset to behave more like SVr4's tset, which does not modify
the settings of intr, quit or erase unless they are given as command
options (reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>).
+ modify tset to look in /etc/ttys or /etc/ttytype if the configuration
does not have getttynam().
+ extend baudrate table in tset.c to match baudrate() function.
+ add table entries for 230400 and 460800 bd to baudrate() function.
+ improve breakout logic by allowing it before the first line updated,
which is what SVr4 curses does (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ correct initialization of vcost in relative_move(), for cursor-down
case (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
> nits gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-3:
+ install symbolic link for intotocap.
+ reference libc directly when making shared libraries.
+ correct renaming of curs_scr_dmp.3x in man_db.renames.
+ guard tgetflag() and other termcap functions against null cur_term
pointer.
970719
+ corrected initial state of software echo (error in 970405, reported
by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ reviewed/added messages to configure script, so that all non-test
options should be accompanied by a message.
+ add configure check for long filenames, using this to determine if
it is safe to allow long aliases for terminal descriptions as does
SVr4.
+ add configure options for widec (wide character), hashmap (both
experimental).
> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ hashmap.c - improved by heuristic, so that scroll test works much
better when csr is not available.
+ hardscroll.c - patched so that it continues to scroll other chunks
after failure to scroll one.
+ lib_doupdate.c - _nc_mvcur_scrolln extended to handle more cases; csr
is avoided as it is relative costly. Fixed wrong coordinates in one
case and wrong string in TRACE.
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ modify C++ binding to compile on AIX 4.x with the IBM C-SET++
compiler.
970712
+ remove alternate character set from kterm terminfo entry; it uses the
shift-out control for a purpose incompatible with curses, i.e., font
switching.
+ disentangle 'xterm' terminfo entry from some derived entries that
should be based on xterm-r6 instead.
+ add cbt to xterm-xf86-xv32 terminfo entry; I added the emulation for
XFree86 3.1.2F, but overlooked its use in terminfo then - T.Dickey.
+ correct logic in lib_mvcur.c that uses back_tab.
970706
+ correct change from 970628 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
contents of curscr are saved in newscr before clearing the screen.
This is needed to make repainting work with the present logic of
TransformLine().
+ use napms() rather than sleep() in tset.c to avoid interrupting I/O.
970705
+ add limit checks to _nc_read_file_entry() to guard against overflow
of buffer when reading incompatible terminfo format, e.g, from OSF/1.
+ correct some loop-variable errors in xmc support in lib_doupdate.c
+ modify ncurses 'b' test to add gaps, specified by user, to allow
investigation of interaction with xmc (magic cookie) code.
+ correct typo in 970524 mods to xmas.c, had omitted empty parameter
list from has_colors(), which gcc ignores, but SVr4 does not
(reported by Larry Virden).
+ correct rmso capability in wy50-mc description.
+ add configure option "--enable-hard-tabs", renamed TABS_OK ifdef to
USE_HARD_TABS.
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ Add bindings for keyok() and define_key() to the Ada95 packages.
+ Improve man pages menu_post.3x and menu_format.3x
+ Fix the HTML pages in the Ada95/html directory to reflect the above
changes.
970628
+ modify change from 970101 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
pending changes to both curscr and newscr are flushed properly.
This fixes a case where the first scrolling operation in nvi would
cause the screen to be cleared unnecessarily and repainted before
doing the indexing, i.e., by repeatedly pressing 'j' (reported by
Juergen Pfeifer).
+ correct error in trans_string() which added embedded newlines in a
terminfo description to the stored strings.
+ remove spurious newlines from sgr in wyse50 (and several other)
terminfo descriptions.
+ add configure option for experimental xmc (magic cookie) code,
"--enable-xmc-glitch". When disabled (the default), attributes that
would store a magic cookie are suppressed in vidputs(). The magic
cookie code is far from workable at this stage; the configuration
option is a stopgap.
+ move _nc_initscr() from lib_initscr.c to lib_newterm.c
+ correct path for invoking make_keys (a missing "./").

+ correct sign-extension problem with "infocmp -e", which corrupted
acsc values computed for linux fallback data.
+ correct dependency on ncurses/names.c (a missing "./").
+ modify configure script to use '&&' even for cd'ing to existing
directories to work around broken shell interpreters.

+ remove ech capability from rxvt description because it does not work.
+ add missing case logic for infocmp -I option (reported by Lorenzo M.
Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>)
+ correct old bug in pnoutrefresh() unmasked by fix in 970531; this
caused glitches in the ncurses 'p' test since the area outside the
pad was not compared when setting up indices for _nc_scroll_optimize.
+ rewrote tracebits() to workaround misdefinition of TOSTOP on Ultrix
4.4, as well as to eliminate fixed-size buffer (reported by Chris
Tanner <tannerc@aecl.ca>)

+ add configure option --with-fallbacks, to specify list of fallback
terminal descriptions.
+ add a symbolic link for ncurses.h during install; too many programs
still assume there's an ncurses.h
+ add new terminfo.src entry for xterm-xf86-v33.
+ restore terminfo.src entry for emu to using setf/setb, since it is
not, after all, generating ANSI sequences. Corrected missing comma
that caused setf/setb entries to merge.
+ modify mousemask() to use keyok() to enable/disable KEY_MOUSE, so
that applications can disable ncurses' mouse and supply their own
handler.
+ add extensions keyok() and define_key(). These are designed to allow
the user's application better control over the use of function keys,
e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE. (The define_key idea was from

+ correct freeing of menu items in c++ binding.
+ modify c++ binding to reflect removal of const from user data pointer
in forms/menus libraries.
970524
+ add description of xterm-16color.
+ modify name of shared-library on *BSD to end with $(REL_VERSION)
rather than $(ABI_VERSION) to match actual convention on FreeBSD
(cf: 960713).
+ add OpenBSD to shared-library case, same as NetBSD and FreeBSD
(reported by Hugh Daniel <hugh@rat.toad.com>).
+ corrected include-dependency in menu/Makefile so that "make install"
works properly w/o first doing "make".
+ add fallback definition for isascii, used in infocmp.
+ modify xmas to use color, and to exit right away when a key is
pressed.
+ modify gdc so that the scrolled digits function as described (there
was no time delay between the stages, and the digits overwrote the
bounding box without tidying up).
+ modify lib_color.c to use setaf/setab only for the ANSI color codes
0 through 7. Using 16 colors requires setf/setb.
+ modify ncurses 'c' test to work with 16 colors, as well as the normal
8 colors.
+ remove const qualifier from user data pointer in forms and menus
libraries (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).

path embedded, allowing installs into nonstandard locations.
+ add flags to OSF1 shared-library options to specify version and
symbol file (patch by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>)
+ add missing definition for ABI_VERSION to c++/Makefile.in (reported
by Satoshi Adachi <adachi@wisdom.aa.ap.titech.ac.jp>).
+ modify link flags to accommodate HP-UX linker which embeds absolute
pathnames in executables linked against shared libraries (reported by
Jason Evans <jasone@mrc.uidaho.edu>, solved by Alan Shutko
<ats@hubert.wustl.edu>).
+ drop unnecessary check for attribute-change in onscreen_mvcur() since
mvcur() is the only caller within the library, and that check in turn
is exercised only from lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
Lukyanov).
+ add 'blank' parameter to _nc_scroll_window() so _nc_mvcur_scrolln()
can use the background of stdscr as a parameter to that function
(patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ moved _nc_mvcur_scrolln() from lib_mvcur.c to lib_doupdate.c, to use
the latter's internal functions, as well as to eliminate unnecessary
cursor save/restore operations (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ omit parameter of ClrUpdate(), since it is called only for newscr,
further optimized/reduced by using ClearScreen() and TransformLine()
to get rid of duplicate code (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).

to sizeof(short), and warning user if the size cannot be determined
(reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).

1999-08-24 01:06:48 +00:00
+ correct substitution for ABI_VERSION in test-makefile
+ modify install rules for shared-library targets to remove the target
before installing, since some install programs do not properly handle
overwrite of symbolic links.
+ change order of top-level targets so that 'include' immediate
precedes the 'ncurses' directory, reducing the time between new
headers and new libraries (requested by Larry Virden).
+ modify lib_vidattr.c so that colors are turned off only before
modifying other attributes, turned on after others. This makes the
hanoi.c program display correctly on FreeBSD console.
+ modify debug code in panel library to print user-data addresses
rather than the strings which they (may) point to.
+ add check to ensure that C++ binding and demo are not built with g++
versions below 2.7, since the binding uses templates.
+ modify c++ binding and demo to build and run with SGI's c++ compiler.
(It also compiles with the Sun SparcWorks compiler, but the demo does
not link, due to a vtbl problem).
+ corrections to demo.cc, to fix out-of-scope variables (Juergen
Pfeifer).
970503
+ correct memory leak in _nc_trace_buf().
+ add configure test for regexpr.h, for Unixware 1.x.
+ correct missing "./" prefixing names of generated files in ncurses
directory.
+ use single-quotes in configure scripts assignments for MK_SHARED_LIB
to workaround shell bug on FreeBSD 2.1.5
+ remove tabs from intermediate #define's for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF
that caused incorrect result in ncurses_cfg.h
+ correct initialization in lib_trace.c, which omitted version info.
+ remove ech, el1 attributes from cons25w description; they appear to
malfunction in FreeBSD 2.1.5
+ correct color attributes in terminfo.src and lib_color.c to match
SVr4 behavior by interchanging codes 1,4, 3,6 in the setf/setb
capabilities.
+ use curs_set() rather than checks via tigetstr() for test programs
that hide the cursor: firework, rain, worm.
+ ensure that if the terminal lacks change_scroll_region, parm_index
and parm_rindex are used only to scroll the whole screen (patch by
Peter Wemm).
+ correct curs_set() logic, which did not return ERR if the requested
attributes did not exist, nor did it assume an unknown initial state
for the cursor (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ combine IDcTransformLine and NoIDcTransformLine to new TransformLine
function in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ correct hashmap.c, which did not update index information (patch by

$BAUDRATE to override speed computation. This is needed for

+ update mailing-list information (now ncurses@bsdi.com).

+ several corrections to _nc_mvcur_scrolln(), prompted by a bug report
from Peter Wemm:
> the logic for non_dest_scroll_region was interchanged between the
forward & reverse scrolling cases.
> multiple returns from the function allowed certain conditions to do
part of an operation before discovering that it couldn't be
completed, returning an error without restoring the cursor.
> some returns were ERR, where the function had completed the
operation, because the insert/delete line logic was improperly
tested (this was probably the case Peter saw).
> contrary to comments, some scrolling cases were tested after the
insert/delete line method.
+ modify _tracedump() to show first/last changes.

number of header/footer lines to rip-off.
+ add ^R (repaint after resize), ^L (refresh) commands to ncurses 'p'
test.
+ add shell-out (!) command to ncurses 'p' test to allow test of
resize between endwin/refresh.
+ correct line-wrap case in mvcur() by emitting carriage return,
overlooked in 960928, but needed due to SVr4 compatibility changes to
terminal modes in 960907.

broken for the special case of increasing rows only in 960907's fix
for subwindows.
+ modify configure script to generate $(LDFLAGS) with -L and -l options
in preference to explicit library filenames. (NOTE: this may
require further amending, since I vaguely recall a dynamic loader
that did not work properly without the full names, but it should be
handled as an exception to the rule, since some linkers do bulk

1999-08-24 01:06:48 +00:00
+ modify tic to generate directories only as-needed (and corrected
instance of use of data from function that had already returned).
### ncurses-1.9.8a -> 1.9.9e
* fixed broken wsyncup()/wysncdown(), as a result wnoutrefresh() now has
copy-changed-lines behavior.
* added and documented wresize() function.
* more fixes to LOWER-RIGHT corner handling.
* changed the line-breakout optimization code to allow some lines to be
emitted before the first check.
* added option for tic to use symbolic instead of hard links (for AFS)
* fix to restore auto-wrap mode.
* trace level can be controlled by environment variable.
* better handling of NULs in terminal descriptions.
* improved compatibility with observed SVR4 behavior.
* the refresh behavior of over-lapping windows is now more efficient and
behaves like SVR4.
* use autoconf 2.7, which results in a working setup for SCO 5.0.
* support for ESCDELAY.
* small fixes for menu/form code.
* the test directory has its own configure.
* fixes to pads when optimizing scrolling.
* fixed several off-by-one bugs.
* fixes for termcap->terminfo translation; less restrictions more correct
behavior.
### ncurses-1.9.7 -> 1.9.8a
* teach infocmp -i to recognize ECMA highlight sequences
* infocmp now dumps all SVr4 termcaps (not just the SVr4 ones) on -C
* support infocmp -RBSD.
* satisfy XSI Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
* This represents the last big change to the public interface of ncurses. The
ABI_VERSION has now been set at 3.0 and should stay there barring any great
catastrophies or acts of God.
* The C++ has been cleaned up in reaction to the changes to satisfy XSI's
requirements.
* libncurses now gets linked to libcurses to help seamless emulation
(replacement) of a vendor's curses. --disable-overwrite turns this behavior
off.
### ncurses-1.9.6 -> 1.9.7
* corrected return values of setupterm()
* Fixed some bugs in tput (it does padding now)
* fixed a bug in tic that made it do the wrong thing on entries with more than
one `use' capability.
* corrected the screen-size calculation at startup time to alter the
numeric capabilities as per SVr4, not just LINES and COLS.
* toe(1) introduced; does what infocmp -T used to.
* tic(1) can now translate AIX box1 and font[0123] capabilities.
* tic uses much less core, the dotic.sh kluge can go away now.
* fix read_entry() and write_entry() to pass through cancelled capabilities OK.
* Add $HOME/.terminfo as source/target directory for terminfo entries.
* termcap compilation now automatically dumps an entry to $HOME/.terminfo.
* added -h option to toe(1).
* added -R option to tic(1) and infocmp(1).
* added fallback-entry-list feature.
* added -i option to infocmp(1).
* do a better job at detecting if we're on SCO.
### ncurses-1.9.5 -> 1.9.6
* handling of TERMCAP environment variables now works correctly.
* various changes to shorten termcap translations to less that 1024 chars.
* tset(1) added
* mouse support for xterm.
* most data tables are now const and accordingly live in shareable text space.
* Obey the XPG4/SVr4 practice that echo() is initally off.
* tic is much better at translating XENIX and AIX termcap entries now.
* tic can interpret ko capabilities now.
* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's forms library.
* taught write_entry() how not to write more than it needs to; this change
reduces the size of the terminfo tree by a full 26%!
* infocmp -T option added.
* better warnings about historical tic quirks from tic.
### ncurses 1.9.4 -> 1.9.5
* menus library is now included with documentation.
* lib_mvcur has been carefully profiled and tuned.
* Fixed a ^Z-handling bug that was tanking lynx(1).
* HJ Lu's patches for ELF shared libraries under Linux
* terminfo.src 9.8.2
* tweaks for compiling in seperate directories.
* Thomas Dickey's patches to support NeXT's brain-dead linker
* Eric Raymond's patches to fix problems with long termcap entries.
* more support for shared libraries under SunOS and IRIX.
### ncurses 1.9.3 -> 1.9.4
* fixed an undefined-order-of-evaluation bug in lib_acs.c
* systematically gave non-API public functions and data an _nc_ prefix.
* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's menu code into the distribution.
* totally rewrote the knight test game's interface
### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.3
* fixed the TERMCAP_FILE Support.
* fixed off-by-one errors in scrolling code
* added tracemunch to the test tools
* took steps to cut the running time of make install.data
### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.2d
* revised 'configure' script to produce libraries for normal, debug,
profile and shared object models.
### ncurses 1.9.1 -> 1.9.2
* use 'autoconf' to implement 'configure' script.
* panels support added
* tic now checks for excessively long termcap entries when doing translation
* first cut at eliminating namespace pollution.
### ncurses 1.8.9 -> 1.9
* cleanup gcc warnings for the following: use size_t where 'int' is not
appropriate, fixed some shadowed variables, change attr_t to compatible with
chtype, use attr_t in some places where it was confused with 'int'.
* use chtype/attr_t casts as appropriate to ensure portability of masking
operations.
* added-back waddchnstr() to lib_addstr.c (it had been deleted).
* supplied missing prototypes in curses.h
* include <termcap.h> in lib_termcap.c to ensure that the prototypes
are consistent (they weren't).
* corrected prototype of tputs in <termcap.h>
* rewrote varargs parsing in lib_tparm.c (to avoid referencing memory
that may be out of bounds on the stack) -- Purify found this.
* ensure that TRACE is defined in lib_trace.c (to solve prototype
warnings from gcc).
* corrected scrolling-region size in 'mvcur_wrap()'
* more spelling fixes
* use 'calloc()' to allocate WINDOW struct in lib_newwin.c (Purify).
* set default value for SP->_ofp in lib_set_term.c (otherwise SunOS dumps
core in init_acs()).
* include <errno.h> in write_entry.c (most "braindead" includes declare errno
in that file).
### ncurses 1.8.8 -> 1.8.9
* compile (mostly) clean with gcc 2.5.8 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion and using __attribute__ to flush out
non-portable use of "%x" for pointers, or for chtype data (which is declared
as a long).
* modified doupdate to ensure that typahead was turned on before attempting
select-call (otherwise, some implementations hang).
* added trace mask TRACE_FIFO, use this in lib_getch.c to allow finer
resolution of traces.
* improved bounds checking on several critical functions.
* the data directory has been replaced by the new master terminfo file.
* -F file-comparison option added to infocmp.
* compatibility with XSI Curses is now documented in the man bages.
* wsyncup/wsyncdown functions are reliable now; subwindow code in general
is much less flaky.
* capabilities ~msgr, tilde_glitch, insert_padding, generic_type, no_pad_char,
memory_above, memory_below, and hard_copy are now used properly.
* cursor-movement optimization has been completely rewritten.
* vertical-movement optimization now uses hardware scrolling, il, dl.
### ncurses 1.8.7 -> 1.8.8
* untic no longer exists, infocmp replaces it.
* tic can understand termcap now, especially if it is called captoinfo.
* The Linux Standard Console terminfo entry is called linux insead of console.
It also uses the kernel's new method of changing charsets.
* initscr() will EXIT upon error (as the docs say) This wil mostly happen if
you try to run on an undefined terminal.
* I can get things running on AIX but tic can't compile terminfo. I have to
compile entries on another machine. Volunteers to hunt this bug are welcome.
* wbkgd() and wbkgdset() can be used to set a windows background to color.
wclear()/werase() DO NOT use the current attribute to clear the screen.
This is the way SVR4 curses works. PDCurses 2.1 is broken in this respect,
though PDCurses 2.2 has been fixed.
* cleaned up the test/ directory.
* test/worm will segfault after quite a while.
* many spelling corrections courtesy of Thomas E. Dickey
### ncurses 1.8.6 -> 1.8.7
* cleaned up programs in test/ directory.
* fixed wbkgdset() macro.
* modified getstr() to stop it from advancing cursor in noecho mode.
* modified linux terminfo entry to work with the latest kernel to get
the correct alternate character set.
* also added a linux-mono entry for those running on monochrome screens.
* changed initscr() so that it behaves like the man page says it does.
this fixes the problem with programs in test/ crashing with SIGSEV if
a terminal is undefined.
* modified addch() to avoid using any term.h #define's
* removed duplicate tgoto() in lib_tparm.c
* modified dump_entry.c so that infocmp deals correctly with ',' in acsc
* modified delwin() to correctly handle deleting subwindows.
* fixed Makefile.dist to stop installing an empty curses.h
* fixed a couple of out-of-date notes in man pages.
### ncurses 1.8.5 -> 1.8.6
* Implemented wbkgd(), bkgd(), bkgdset(), and wbkgdset().
* The handling of attributes has been improved and now does not turn off color
if other attributes are turned off.
* scrolling code is improved. Scrolling in subwindows is still broken.
* Fixes to several bugs that manifest them on platforms other than Linux.
* The default to meta now depends on the status of the terminal when ncurses
is started.
* The interface to the tracing facility has changed. Instead of the pair of
functions traceon() and traceoff(), there is just one function trace() which
takes a trace mask argument. The trace masks, defined in curses.h, are
as follows:

More trace masks may be added, or these may be changed, in future releases.
* The pad code has been improved and the pad test code in test/ncurses.c has
been improved.
* The prototype ansi entry has been changed to work with a wider variety
of emulators.
* Fix to the prototype ansi entry that enables it to work with PC emulators
that treat trailing ";m" in a highlight sequence as ";0m"; this doesn't
break operation with any emulators.
* There are now working infocmp, captoinfo, tput, and tclear utilities.
* tic can now compile entries in termcap syntax.
* Core-dump bug in pnoutrefresh fixed.
* We now recognize and compile all the nonstandard capabilities in Ross
Ridge's mytinfo package (rendering it obsolete).
* General cleanup and documentation improvements.
* Fixes and additions to the installation-documentation files.
* Take cursor to normal mode on endwin.
### ncurses 1.8.4 -> 1.8.5
* serious bugs in updating screen which caused erratic non-display,
fixed.
* fixed initialization for getch() related variable which cause
unpredictable results.
* fixed another doupdate bug which only appeared if you have
parm_char.
* implemented redrawln() and redrawwin().
* implemented winsnstr() and related functions.
* cleaned up insertln() and deleteln() and implemented (w)insdeln().
* changed Makefile.dist so that installation of man pages will
take note of the terminfo directory.
* fixed Configure (removed the mysterious 'X').
* Eric S. Raymond fixed the script.* files so that they work with
stock awk.
#### ncurses 1.8.3 -> 1.8.4 #### ####
* fixed bug in refreshing the screen after return from shell_mode.
There are still problems but they don't manifest themselves on
my machine (Linux 0.99.14f).
* added wgetnstr() and modified things accordingly.
* fixed the script.src script.test to work with awk not just gawk.
* Configure can now take an argument of the target system.
* added test/ncurses.c which replaces several other programs and
performs more testing.
[Thanks to Eric S Raymond for the last 4]
* more fixes to lib_overlay.c and added test/over.c to illustrate
how it works.
* fixed ungetch() to take int instead of ch.
* fixes to cure wgetch() if flushinp() is called.
One note I forgot to mention in 1.8.3 is that tracing is off by
default starting in the version. If you want tracing output, put
traceon(); in your code and link with -ldcurses.
#### ncurses 1.8.2 -> ncurses 1.8.3 #### ####
MAJOR CHANGES:
1) The order of capabilities has been changed in order to achieve
binary compatibility with SVR4 terminfo database. This has the
unfortunate effect of breaking application currently linked with
ncurses. To ensure correct behavior, recompile all such programs.
Most programs using color or newer capabilities will break, others
will probably continue to work ok.
2) Pavel Curtis has renounced his copyright to the public domain.
This means that his original sources (posted to comp.sources.unix,
volume 1) are now in the public domain. The current sources are
NOT in the public domain, they are copyrighted by me. I'm
entertaining ideas on what the new terms ncurses is released under.
3) Eric S. Raymond has supplied a complete set of man pages for
ncurses in ?roff format. They will eventually replace most of the
current docs. Both sets are included in this release.
Other changes and notes from 1.8.2 include:
* SIGSEGV during scrolling no longer occurs.
* Other problems with scrolling and use of idl have been corrected.
* lib_getch.c has been re-written and should perform flawlessly.
please use test/getch.c and any other programs to test this.
* ripoffline() is implemented (Thanks to Eric) and slk_ functions
changed accordingly.
* I've added support for terminals that scroll if you write in the
bottom-right corner.
* fixed more bugs in pads code. If anybody has a program that uses
pads I'd love a copy.
* correct handling for terminal with back_color_erase capability
(such as Linux console, and most PC terminals)
* ^Z handling apparently didn't work (I should never trust code
sent me to me without extensive testing). It now seems to be
fixed. Let me know if you have problems.
* I've added support for Apollo and NeXT, but it may still be
incomplete, especially when dealing with the lack of POSIX
features.
* scrolling should be more efficient on terminals with idl
capabilities. Please see src/lib_scroll.c for more notes.
* The line drawing routines were offset by 1 at both ends. This
is now fixed.
* added a few missing prototypes and macros (e.g. setterm())
* fixed code in src/lib_overlay.c which used to crash.
* added a few more programs in test/ The ones from the PDCurses
package are useful, especially if you have SVR4 proper. I'm
interested in the results you get on such a systems (Eric? ;-).
They already exposed certain bugs in ncurses.
* See src/README for porting notes.
* The C++ code should really replace ncurses.h instead of working
around it. It should avoid name-space clashes with nterm.h (use
rows instead of lines, etc.)
* The C++ should compile ok. I've added explicit rules to the
Makefile because no C++ defaults are documented on the suns.
* The docs say that echo() and nocbreak() are mutually exclusive.
At the moment ncurses will switch to cbreak() if the case above
occurs. Should it continue to do so? How about echo() and noraw()?
* PDCurses seem to assume that wclear() will use current attribute
when clearing the screen. According to Eric this is not the case
with SVR4.
* I have discovered, to my chagrin, SunOS 4.x (and probably other systems)
* doesn't have vsscanf and God knows what else! I've will do a vsscanf().
* I've also found out that the src/script.* rely on gawk and will not
work with stock awk or even with nawk. Any changes are welcome.
* Linux is more tolerant of NULL dereferences than most systems. This
fact was exposed by hanoi.
* ncurses still seems inefficient in drawing the screen on a serial
link between Linux and suns. The padding may be the culprit.
* There seems to be one lingering problem with doupdate() after shelling
out. Despite the fact the it is sending out the correct information
to the terminal, nothing takes effect until you press ^L or another
refresh takes place. And yes, output does get flushed.
#### ncurses 1.8.1 -> ncurses 1.8.2 #### Nov 28, 1993 ####
* added support for SVR4 and BSDI's BSD/386.
* major update and fix to scrolling routine.
* MORE fixes to stuff in lib_getch.c.
* cleaned-up configuration options and can now generate
Config.* files through an awk script.
* changed setupterm() so it can be called more than once,
add added set_curterm(), del_curterm().
* a few minor cleanups.
* added more prototypes in curses.h
#### ncurses 1.8 -> ncurses 1.8.1 #### Nov 4, 1993 ####
* added support for NeXTStep 3.0
* added termcap emulation (not well tested).
* more complete C++ interface to ncurses.
* fixed overlay(), overwrite(), and added copywin().
* a couple of bug fixes.
* a few code cleanups.
#### ncurses 0.7.2/0.7.3 -> ncurses 1.8 #### Aug 31, 1993 ####
* The annoying message "can't open file." was due to missing
terminfo entry for the used terminal. It has now been
replaced by a hopefully more helpful message.
* Problems with running on serial lines are now fixed.
* Added configuration files for SunOS, Linux, HP/UX, Ultrix,
386bsd/BSDI (if you have others send'em to me)
* Cleaner Makefile.
* The documentation in manual.doc is now more uptodate.
* update optimization and support for hp terminals, and 386bsd
console driver(s).
* mvcur optimization for terminals without cursor addressing
(doesn't work on Linux)
* if cursor moved since last update, getch() will refresh the
screen before working.
* getch() & alarm() can now live together. in 0.7.3 a signal
interrupted getch() (bug or feature?) now the getch is
restarted.
* scanw() et all were sick, now fixed.
* support for 8-bit input (use meta()).
* added default screen size to all terminfos.
* added c++ Ncursesw class.
* several minor bug fixes.
#### ncurses 0.7.2 -> ncurses 0.7.3 #### May 27, 1993 ####
* Config file to cope with different platforms (386BSD, BSDI, Ultrix, SunOS)
* more fixes to lib_getch.c
* changes related to Config
#### ncurses 0.7 -> ncurses 0.7.2 #### May 22, 1993 ####
* docs updated slightly (color usage is now documented).
* yet another fix for getch(), this one fixes problems with ESC being swallowed
if another character is typed before the 1 second timeout.
* Hopefully, addstr() and addch() are 8-bit clean.
* fixed lib_tparm.c to use stdarg.h (should run on suns now)
* order of capabilities changed to reflect that specified in SYSV
this will allow for binary-compatibility with existing terminfo dbs.
* added halfdelay()
* fixed problems with asc_init()
* added A_PROTECT and A_INVIS
* cleaned up vidputs()
* general cleanup of the code
* more attention to portability to other systems
* added terminfos for hp70092 (wont work until changes to lib_update.c are
made) and 386BSD pcvt drivers.
Thanks to Hellmuth Michaelis for his help.
optimization code is slated for the next major release, stay tuned!
#### ncurses 0.6/0.61 -> ncurses 0.7 #### April 1, 1993
Please note that the next release will be called 1.8. If you want to know about
the rationale drop me a line.
Included are several test programs in test/.
I've split up the panels library, reversi, tetris, sokoban. They are now
available separately from netcom.com:pub/zmbenhal/
* color and ACS support is now fully compatible with SYSV at the terminfo
level.
* Capabilities now includes as many SYSV caps I could find.
* tigetflag,tigetnum,tigetstr functions added.
* boolnames, boolfnames, boolcodes numnames, numfnames, numcodes,
strnames, strfnames, strcodes arrays are now added.
* keyname() is added.
* All function keys can be defined in terminfo entries.
* fixed lin_tparm.c to behave properly.
* terminfo entries for vt* and xterm are included (improvements are welcome)
* more automation in handling caps and keys.
* included fixes from 0.6.1
* added a few more missing functions.
* fixed a couple of minor bugs.
* updated docs JUST a little (still miles behind in documenting the newer
features).
#### ncurses 0.6 -> ncurses 0.61 ####
1) Included the missing data/console.
2) allow attributes when drawing boxes.
3) corrected usage of win->_delay value.
4) fixed a bug in lib_getch.c. if it didn't recognize a sequence it would
simply return the last character in the sequence. The correct
behavior is to return the entire sequence one character at a time.
#### ncurses0.5 -> ncurses0.6 #### March 1, 1993 ####
* removed _numchngd from struct _win_st and made appropriate changes.
* rewritten kgetch() to remove problems with interaction between alarm and
read(). It caused SIGSEGV every now and then.
* fixed a bug that miscounted the numbers of columns when updating.
(in lib_doupdate.c(ClrUpdate() -- iterate to columns not columns-1)
* fixed a bug that cause the lower-right corner to be incorrect.
(in lib_doupdate.c(putChar() -- check against columns not columns-1)
* made resize() and cleanup() static to lib_newterm.c
* added notimeout().
* added timeout() define in curses.h
* added more function prototypes and fixed napms.
* added use_env().
* moved screen size detection to lib_setup.c.
* fixed newterm() to confirm to prototype.
* removed SIGWINCH support as SYSV does not define its semantics.
* cleaned-up lib_touch.c
* added waddnstr() and relatives.
* added slk_* support.
* fixed a bug in wdeleteln().
* added PANEL library.
* modified Makefile for smoother installation.
* terminfo.h is really term.h
#### ncurses 0.4 -> ncurses 0.5 #### Feb 14, 1993 ####
* changed _win_st structure to allow support for missing functionality.
* Addition of terminfo support for all KEY_*.
* Support for nodelay(), timeout(), notimeout().
* fixed a bug with the keypad char reading that did not return ESC until
another key is pressed.
* nl mapping no longer occur on output (as should be)
fixed bug '\n' no causing a LF.
* fixed bug that reset terminal colors regardless of whether we use color
or not.
* Better support for ACS (not quite complete).
* fixed bug in wvline().
* added curs_set().
* changed from signal() to sigaction().
* re-included the contents of important.patch into source.
#### ncurses 0.3 -> ncurses 0.4 #### Feb 3, 1993 ####
* Addition of more KEY_* definitions.
* Addition of function prototypes.
* Addition of several missing functions.
* No more crashes if screen size is undefined (use SIGWINCH handler).
* added a handler to cleanup after SIGSEGV (hopefully never needed).
* changed SRCDIR from /etc/term to /usr/lib/terminfo.
* renamed compile/dump to tic/untic.
* New scrolling code.
* fixed bug that reversed the sense of nl() and nonl().
