This is a log of changes that ncurses has gone through since Zeyd started
|
|
working with Pavel Curtis' original work, pcurses, in 1992.
|
|
|
|
Changes through 1.9.9e are recorded by Zeyd M. Ben-Halim.
|
|
Changes since 1.9.9e are recorded by Thomas Dickey.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
+ minor fixes for _nc_msec_cost(), color_content(), pair_content(),
|
|
_nc_freewin(), ClrBottom() and onscreen_mvcur() (analysis by Philippe
|
|
Blain, comments by Alexander Lukyanov).
|
|
+ simplify definition of PANEL and eliminate internal functions
|
|
_nc_calculate_obscure(), _nc_free_obscure() and _nc_override(),
|
|
(patch by Juergen Pfeifer, based on analysis by Philippe Blain
|
|
<bledp@voila.fr>)).
|
|
+ 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
|
|
+ add acsc string to HP 70092 terminfo entry (patch by Joerg Wunsch
|
|
<j@interface-business.de>).
|
|
+ add top-level uninstall.data and uninstall.man makefile rules.
|
|
+ correct logic of CF_LINK_FUNCS configure script, from BeOS changes so
|
|
that hard-links work on Unix again.
|
|
+ change default value of cf_cv_builtin_bool to 1 as suggested by
|
|
Jeremy Buhler, making it less likely that a conflicting declaration
|
|
of bool will be seen when compiling with C++.
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
+ modify definition of _nc_tinfo_fkeys in broken-linker configuration
|
|
so that it is not unnecessarily made extern (Jeffrey C Honig).
|
|
|
|
990904 pre-release
|
|
+ move definition for builtin.h in configure tests to specific check
|
|
for libg++, since qt uses the same filename incompatibly.
|
|
+ correct logic of lib_termcap.c tgetstr function, which did not copy
|
|
the result to the buffer parameter. Testing shows Solaris does
|
|
update this, though of course tgetent's buffer is untouched (from
|
|
mpc.lists.freebsd.current newsgroup item by Peter Edwards
|
|
<peter.edwards@ireland.com>).
|
|
+ corrected beterm terminfo entry, which lists some capabilities which
|
|
are not actually provided by the BeOS Terminal.
|
|
+ add special logic to replace select() calls on BeOS, whose select()
|
|
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>).
|
|
> several small changes to make the c++ binding and demo work on OS/2
|
|
EMX (related to a clean reinstall of EMX):
|
|
+ correct library-prefix for c++ binding; none is needed.
|
|
+ add $x suffix to make_hash and make_keys so 'make distclean' works.
|
|
+ correct missing $x suffix for tack, c++ demo executables.
|
|
+ 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.
|
|
|
|
990821 pre-release
|
|
+ updated configure macros CF_MAKEFLAGS, CF_CHECK_ERRNO
|
|
+ minor corrections to beterm terminfo entry.
|
|
+ modify lib_setup.c to reject values of $TERM which have a '/' in them.
|
|
+ add ifdef's to guard against CS5, CS6, CS7, CS8 being zero, as more
|
|
than one is on BeOS. That would break a switch statement.
|
|
+ add configure macro CF_LINK_FUNCS to detect and work around BeOS's
|
|
nonfunctional link().
|
|
+ improved configure macros CF_BOOL_DECL and CF_BOOL_SIZE to detect
|
|
BeOS's bool, which is declared as an unsigned char.
|
|
|
|
990814 pre-release
|
|
+ add ms-vt100 terminfo entry -TD
|
|
+ minor fixes for misc/emx.src, based on testing with tack.
|
|
+ minor fix for test/ncurses.c, test 'a', in case ncv is not set.
|
|
|
|
990731 pre-release
|
|
+ minor correction for 'screen' terminfo entry.
|
|
+ clarify description of errret values for setupterm in manpage.
|
|
+ modify tput to allow it to emit capabilities for hardcopy terminals
|
|
(patch by Goran Uddeborg <goeran@uddeborg.pp.se>).
|
|
+ modify the 'o' (panel) test in ncurses.c to show the panels in color
|
|
or at least in bold, to test Juergen's change to wrefresh().
|
|
> 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
|
|
window is touched to force a copy to newscr. This is an unwanted
|
|
side-effect of wrefresh() and it is actually not necessary. A changed
|
|
background attribute affects only further outputs of background it
|
|
doesn't mean anything to the current content of the window. So there
|
|
is no need to force a copy. (reported by Frank Heckenbach
|
|
<frank@g-n-u.de>).
|
|
+ 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>).
|
|
|
|
990703 pre-release
|
|
+ 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>).
|
|
+ suppress initialization of key-tries in _nc_keypad() if we are only
|
|
disabling keypad mode, e.g., in endwin() called when keypad() was not.
|
|
+ modify the Ada95 makefile to ensure that always the Ada files from
|
|
the development tree are used for building and not the eventually
|
|
installed ones (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
|
|
990626 pre-release
|
|
+ use TTY definition in tack/sysdep.c rather than struct termios
|
|
(reported by Philippe De Muyter).
|
|
+ add a fallback for strstr, used in lib_mvcur.c and tack/edit.c,
|
|
not present on sysV68 (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
|
|
+ correct definition in comp_hash.c to build with configure
|
|
--with-rcs-ids option.
|
|
|
|
990619 pre-release
|
|
+ modified ifdef's for sigaction and sigvec to ensure we do not try to
|
|
handle SIGTSTP if neither is available (from report by Philippe De
|
|
Muyter).
|
|
> patch by Philippe De Muyter:
|
|
+ in tic.c, use `unlink' if `remove' is not available.
|
|
+ use only `unsigned' as fallback value for `speed_t'. Some files used
|
|
`short' instead.
|
|
|
|
990616 pre-release
|
|
+ fix some compiler warnings in tack.
|
|
+ add a check for predefined bool type in CC, based on report that
|
|
BeOS predefines a bool type.
|
|
+ correct logic for infocmp -e option (i.e., the configure
|
|
--with-fallbacks option), which I'd not updated when implementing
|
|
extended names (cf: 990301). The new implementation adds a -E
|
|
option to infocmp.
|
|
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ introduce the private type Curses_Bool in the Ada95 binding
|
|
implementation. This is to clearly represent the use of "bool" also
|
|
in the binding. It should have no effect on the generated code.
|
|
+ improve the man page for field_buffer() to tell the people, that the
|
|
whole buffer including leading/trailing spaces is returned. This is
|
|
a common source of confusion, so it's better to document it clearly.
|
|
|
|
990614 pre-release
|
|
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ use pragma PreElaborate in several places.
|
|
+ change a few System.Address uses to more specific types.
|
|
+ change interface version-number to 1.0
|
|
+ regenerate Ada95 HTML files.
|
|
|
|
990612 pre-release
|
|
+ modify lib_endwin.c to avoid calling reset_shell_mode(), return ERR
|
|
if it appears that curses was never initialized, e.g., by initscr().
|
|
For instance, this guards against setting the terminal modes to
|
|
strange values if endwin() is called after setupterm(). In the same
|
|
context, Solaris curses will dump core.
|
|
+ modify logic that avoids a conflict in lib_vidattr.c between sgr0 and
|
|
equivalent values in rmso or rmul by ensuring we do not modify the
|
|
data which would be returned by the terminfo or termcap interfaces
|
|
(reported by Brad Pepers <brad@linuxcanada.com>, cf: 960706).
|
|
+ add a null-pointer check for SP in lib_vidattr.c to logic that checks
|
|
for magic cookies.
|
|
+ improve fallback declaration of 'bool' when the --without-cxx option
|
|
is given, by using a 'char' on i386 and related hosts (from discussion
|
|
with Alexander Lukyanov).
|
|
|
|
990605 pre-release
|
|
+ include time.h in lib_napms.c if nanosleep is used (patch by
|
|
R Lindsay Todd <toddr@rpi.edu>).
|
|
+ add an "#undef bool" to curses.h, in case someone tries to define it,
|
|
e.g., perl.
|
|
+ add check to tparm to guard against divide by zero (reported by Aaron
|
|
Campbell <aaron@ug.cs.dal.ca>).
|
|
|
|
990516 pre-release
|
|
+ minor fix to build tack on CLIX (mismatched const).
|
|
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ change Juergen's old email address with new one in the files where it
|
|
is referenced. The Ada95 HTML pages are regenerated.
|
|
+ update MANIFEST to list the tack files.
|
|
|
|
990509 pre-release
|
|
+ minor fixes to make 'tack' build/link on NeXT (reported by Francisco
|
|
A. Tomei Torres).
|
|
|
|
990417 pre-release
|
|
+ add 'tack' program (which is GPL'd), updating it to work with the
|
|
modified TERMTYPE struct and making a fix to support setaf/setab
|
|
capabilities. Note that the tack program is not part of the
|
|
ncurses libraries, but an application which can be distributed with
|
|
ncurses. The configure script will ignore the directory if it is
|
|
omitted, however.
|
|
+ modify gpm mouse support so that buttons 2 and 3 are used for
|
|
select/paste only when shift key is pressed, making them available
|
|
for use by an application (patch by Klaus Weide).
|
|
+ add complete list of function keys to scoansi terminfo entry - TD
|
|
|
|
990410 pre-release
|
|
+ add a simple test program cardfile.c to illustrate how to read form
|
|
fields, and showing forms within panels.
|
|
+ change shared-library versioning for the Hurd to be like Linux rather
|
|
than *BSD (patch by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl>).
|
|
+ add linux-lat terminfo entry.
|
|
+ back-out _nc_access check in read_termcap.c (both incorrect and
|
|
unnecessary, except to guard against a small window where the file's
|
|
ownership may change).
|
|
|
|
990403 pre-release
|
|
+ remove conflicting _nc_free_termtype() function from test module
|
|
lib_freeall.c
|
|
+ use _nc_access check in read_termcap.c for termpaths[] array (noted
|
|
by Jeremy Buhler, indicating that Alan Cox made a similar patch).
|
|
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ modify menu creation to not inherit status flag from the default menu
|
|
which says that the associated marker string has been allocated and
|
|
should be freed (bug reported by Marek Paliwoda" <paliwoda@kki.net.pl>)
|
|
|
|
990327 pre-release (alpha.gnu.org:/gnu/ncurses-5.0-beta1.tar.gz)
|
|
+ minor fixes to xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry - TD.
|
|
+ split up an expression in configure script check for ldconfig to
|
|
workaround limitation of BSD/OS sh (reported by Jeff Haas
|
|
<jmh@mail.msen.com>).
|
|
+ correct a typo in man/form_hook.3x (Todd Miller).
|
|
|
|
990318 pre-release
|
|
+ parenthesize and undef 'index' symbol in c++ binding and demo, to
|
|
accommodate its definition on NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei
|
|
Torres).
|
|
+ add sigismember() to base/sigaction.c compatibility to link on NeXT
|
|
(reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
|
|
+ further refinements to inequality in hashmap.c to cover a case with
|
|
^U in nvi (patch by Alexander Lukyanov).
|
|
|
|
990316 pre-release
|
|
+ add fallback definition for getcwd, to link on NeXT.
|
|
+ add a copy of cur_term to tic.c to make it link properly on NeXT
|
|
(reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
|
|
+ change inequality in hashmap.c which checks the distance traveled by
|
|
a chunk so that ^D command in nvi (scrolls 1/2 screen) will use
|
|
scrolling logic (patch by Alexander Lukyanov, reported by Jeffrey
|
|
C Honig).
|
|
|
|
990314 pre-release
|
|
+ modify lib_color.c to handle a special case where the curscr
|
|
attributes have been made obsolete (patch by Alexander Lukyanov).
|
|
+ update BSD/OS console terminfo entries to use klone+sgr and
|
|
klone+color (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
|
|
+ update glibc addon configure script for extended capabilities.
|
|
+ correct a couple of warnings in the --enable-const configuration.
|
|
+ make comp_hash build properly with _nc_strdup(), on NeXT (reported by
|
|
Francisco A. Tomei Torres <francisco.tomei@cwix.com>).
|
|
|
|
990313 pre-release
|
|
+ correct typos in linux-c initc string - TD
|
|
+ add 'crt' terminfo entry, update xterm-xfree86 entry - TD
|
|
+ remove a spurious argument to tparm() in lib_sklrefr.c (patch by
|
|
Alexander Lukyanov).
|
|
|
|
990307 pre-release
|
|
+ back-out change to wgetch because it causes a problem with ^Z
|
|
handling in lynx (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
|
|
|
|
990306 pre-release
|
|
+ add -G option to tic and infocmp, to reverse the -g option.
|
|
+ recode functions in name_match.c to avoid use of strncpy, which
|
|
caused a 4-fold slowdown in tic (cf: 980530).
|
|
+ correct a few warnings about sign-extension in recent changes.

|
> 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.
|
|
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer, for Ada95 binding:
|
|
+ regenerate some of the html documentation
|
|
+ minor cleanup in terminal_interface-curses.adb
|
|
|
|
990220 pre-release
|
|
+ resolve ambiguity of kend/kll/kslt and khome/kfnd/kich1 strings in
|
|
xterm and ncsa terminfo entries by removing the unneeded ones. Note
|
|
that some entries will return kend & khome versus kslt and kfnd, for
|
|
PC-style keyboards versus strict vt220 compatiblity - TD
|
|
+ add function keybound(), which returns the definition associated with
|
|
a given keycode.
|
|
+ modify define_key() to undefine the given string when no keycode is
|
|
given.
|
|
+ modify keyok() so it works properly if there is more than one string
|
|
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
|
|
comp_parse.c into the tic program.
|
|
+ add/use _nc_trace_tries() to show the function keys that will be
|
|
recognized.
|
|
+ rename init_acs to _nc_init_acs (request by Alexander Lukyanov).
|
|
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer, for Ada95 binding:
|
|
+ remove all the *_adabind.c from ncurses, menu and form projects.
|
|
Those little helper routines have all been implemented in Ada and are
|
|
no longer required.
|
|
+ The option handling routines in menu and form have been made more
|
|
save. They now make sure that the unused bits in options are always
|
|
zero.
|
|
+ modify configuration scripts to
|
|
+ use gnatmake as default compiler name. This is a safer choice than
|
|
gcc, because some GNAT implementations use other names for the
|
|
compilerdriver to avoid conflicts.
|
|
+ use new default installation locations for the Ada files according
|
|
to the proposed GNU Ada filesystem standard (for Linux).
|
|
+ simplify the Makefiles for the Ada binding
|
|
+ rename ada_include directory to src.
|
|
|
|
990213
|
|
+ enable sigwinch handler by default.
|
|
+ disable logic that allows setbuf to be turned off/on, because some
|
|
implementations will overrun the buffer after it has been disabled
|
|
once.
|
|
|
|
990206
|
|
+ suppress sc/rc capabilities from terminal description if they appear
|
|
in smcup/rmcup. This affects only scrolling optimization, to fix a
|
|
problem reported by several people with xterm's alternate screen,
|
|
though the problem is more general.
|
|
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer, for Ada95 binding:
|
|
+ removed all pragma Preelaborate() stuff, because the just released
|
|
gnat-3.11p complains on some constructs.
|
|
+ fixed some upper/lower case notations because gnat-3.11p found
|
|
inconsistent use.
|
|
+ used a new method to generate the HTML documentation of the Ada95
|
|
binding. This invalidates nearly the whole ./Ada95/html subtree.
|
|
Nearly all current files in this subtree are removed
|
|
|
|
990130
|
|
+ cache last result from _nc_baudrate, for performance (suggested by
|
|
Alexander Lukyanov).
|
|
+ modify ClrUpdate() function to workaround a problem in nvi, which
|
|
uses redrawwin in SIGTSTP handling. Jeffrey C Honig reported that
|
|
ncurses repainted the screen with nulls before resuming normal
|
|
operation (patch by Alexander Lukyanov).
|
|
+ generalize is_xterm() function a little by letting xterm/rxvt/kterm
|
|
be any substring rather than the prefix.
|
|
+ modify lib_data.c to initialize SP. Some linkers, e.g., IBM's, will
|
|
not link a module if the only symbols exported from the module are
|
|
uninitialized ones (patch by Ilya Zakharevich, who says that he has
|
|
seen messages claiming this behaviour conforms to the standard.)
|
|
+ move call on _nc_signal_handler past _nc_initscr, to avoid a small
|
|
window where Nttyb hasn't yet been filled (reported by Klaus Weide).
|
|
+ modify lib_tstp.c to block SIGTTOU when handling SIGTSTP, fixes a
|
|
problem where ncurses applications which were run via a shell script
|
|
would hang when given a ^Z. Also, check if the terminal's process
|
|
group is consistent, i.e., a shell has not taken ownership of it,
|
|
before deciding to save the current terminal settings in the SIGTSTP
|
|
handler (patch by Klaus Weide).
|
|
+ correct spelling of ACS_ names in curs_border.3x (reported by Bob van
|
|
der Poel <bvdpoel@kootenay.com>).
|
|
+ correct a couple of typos in the macros supporting the configure
|
|
--with-shlib-version option.
|
|
|
|
990123
|
|
+ modify fty_regex.c to compile on HAVE_REGEXPR_H_FUNCS machine (patch
|
|
by Kimio Ishii <ishii@csl.sony.co.jp>).
|
|
+ rename BSDI console terminfo entries: bsdos to bsdos-pc-nobold, and
|
|
bsdos-bold to bsdos-pc (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
|
|
+ modify tput to accept termcap names as an alternative to terminfo
|
|
names (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
|
|
+ correct a typo in term.7 (Todd Miller).
|
|
+ add configure --with-shlib-version option to allow installing shared
|
|
libraries named according to release or ABI versions. This
|
|
parameterizes some existing logic in the configure script, and is
|
|
intended for compatiblity upgrades on Digital Unix, which used
|
|
versioned libraries in ncurses 4.2, but no longer does (cf: 980425).
|
|
+ resync configure script against autoconf 2.13 + patches
|
|
+ minor improvements for teraterm terminfo entry based on the program's
|
|
source distribution.
|
|
|
|
990116
|
|
+ change default for configure --enable-big-core to assume machines do
|
|
have enough memory to resolve terminfo.src in-memory.
|
|
+ correct name of ncurses library in TEST_ARGS when configuring with
|
|
debug library.
|
|
+ minor fixes to compile ncurses library with broken-linker with g++.
|
|
+ add --enable-broken-linker configure option, default to environment
|
|
variable $BROKEN_LINKER (request by Jeffrey C Honig).
|
|
+ change key_names[] array to static since it is not part of the curses
|
|
interface (reported by Jeffrey C Honig <jch@bsdi.com>).
|
|
|
|
990110
|
|
+ add Tera Term terminfo entry - TD
|
|
|
|
990109
|
|
+ reviewed/corrected macros in curses.h as per XSI document.
|
|
+ provide support for termcap PC variable by copying it from terminfo
|
|
data and using it as the padding character in tputs (reported by
|
|
Alexander Lukyanov).
|
|
+ corrected iris-ansi and iris-ansi-ap terminfo entries for kent and
|
|
kf9-kf12 capabilities, as well as adding kcbt.
|
|
+ document the mouse handling mechanism in menu_driver and make a small
|
|
change in menu_driver's return codes to provide more consistency
|
|
(patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ add fallback definition for NCURSES_CONST to termcap.h.in (reported
|
|
by Uchiyama Yasushi <uch@nop.or.jp>).
|
|
+ move lib_restart.c to ncurses/base, since it uses curses functions
|
|
directly, and therefore cannot be used in libtinfo.so
|
|
+ rename micro_char_size to micro_col_size, adding #define to retain
|
|
old name.
|
|
+ add set_a_attributes and set_pglen_inch to terminfo structure, as per
|
|
XSI and Solaris 2.5.
|
|
+ minor makefile files to build ncurses test_progs
|
|
+ update html files in misc directory to reflect changes since 4.2
|
|
|
|
990102
|
|
+ disable scroll hints when hashmap is enabled (patch by Alexander
|
|
Lukyanov).
|
|
+ move logic for tic's verify of -e option versus -I and -C so that the
|
|
terminfo data is not processed if we cannot handle -e (reported by
|
|
Steven Schwartz <steves@unitrends.com>.
|
|
+ add test-driver traces to terminfo and termcap functions.
|
|
+ provide support for termcap ospeed variable by copying it from the
|
|
internal cur_term member, and using ospeed as the baudrate reference
|
|
for the delay_output and tputs functions. If an application does not
|
|
set ospeed, the library behaves as before, except that _nc_timed_wait
|
|
is no longer used, or needed, since ospeed always has a value. But
|
|
the application can modify ospeed to adjust the output of padding
|
|
characters (from a bug report for screen 3.7.6 and email from Michael
|
|
Schroeder <Michael.Schroeder@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>).
|
|
+ removed some unused ifdef's as part of Alexander's restructuring.
|
|
+ reviewed/updated curses.h, term.h against X/Open Curses Issue 4
|
|
Version 2. This includes making some parameters NCURSES_CONST
|
|
rather than const, e.g., in termcap.h.
|
|
+ change linux terminfo entry to use ncv#2, since underline does not
|
|
work with color
|
|
|
|
981226
|
|
+ miscellaneous corrections for curses.h to match XSI.
|
|
+ change --enable-no-padding configure option to be normally enabled.
|
|
+ add section to ncurses manpage for environment variables.
|
|
+ investigated Debian bug report that pertains to screen 3.7.4/3.7.6
|
|
changes, found no sign of problems on Linux (or on SunOS, Solaris)
|
|
running screen built with ncurses.
|
|
+ check if tmp_fp is opened in tic.c before closing it (patch by Pavel
|
|
Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>).
|
|
+ correct several font specification typos in man-pages.
|
|
|
|
981220
|
|
+ correct default value for BUILD_CC (reported by Larry Virden).
|
|
|
|
981219
|
|
+ modify _nc_set_writedir() to set a flag in _nc_tic_dir() to prevent
|
|
it from changing the terminfo directory after chdir'ing to it.
|
|
Otherwise, a relative path in $TERMINFO would confuse tic (from a
|
|
Debian bug report).
|
|
+ correct/update ncsa terminfo entry (report by Larry Virden).
|
|
+ update xterm-xfree86 terminfo to current (patch 90), smcur/rmcur changes
|
|
+ add Mathew Vernon's mach console entries to terminfo.src
|
|
+ more changes, moving functions, as part of Alexander's restructuring.
|
|
+ modify configure script for GNU/Hurd share-library support, introduce
|
|
BUILD_CC variable for cross compiling (patch by Uchiyama Yasushi
|
|
<uch@nop.or.jp>)
|
|
|
|
981212
|
|
+ add environment variable NCURSES_NO_SETBUF to allow disabling the
|
|
setbuf feature, for testing purposes.
|
|
+ correct ifdef's for termcap.h versus term.h that suppress redundant
|
|
declarations of prototypes (reported by H.J.Lu).
|
|
+ modify Makefile.os2 to add linker flags which allow multiple copies
|
|
of an application to coexist (reported by Ilya Zakharevich).
|
|
+ update Makefile.glibc and associated configure script so that ncurses
|
|
builds as a glibc add-on with the new directory configuration
|
|
(reported by H.J.Lu).
|
|
|
|
981205
|
|
+ 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).

> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ fix a typo in m_driver.c mouse handling and improves the error
|
|
handling.
|
|
+ fix broken mouse handling in the Ada95 binding
|
|
+ make the Ada95 sample application menus work with the new menu mouse
|
|
support
|
|
+ improve the mouse handling introduced by Ilya; it now handles menus
|
|
with spacing.
|
|
+ repair a minor bug in the menu_driver code discovered during this
|
|
rework.
|
|
+ add new function wmouse_trafo() to hide implementation details of
|
|
_yoffset member of WINDOW struct needed for mouse coordinate
|
|
transformation.
|
|
|
|
981128
|
|
+ modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to avoid using return-value of sprintf, since
|
|
some older implementations (e.g., SunOS 4.x) return the buffer
|
|
address rather than its length.
|
|
> patch by Rick Ohnemus:
|
|
+ modify demo.cc to get it to compile with newer versions of egcs.
|
|
+ trim a space that appears at the end of the table preprocessor lines
|
|
('\" t). This space prevents some versions of man from displaying
|
|
the pages - changed to remove all trailing whitespace (TD)
|
|
+ finally, 'make clean' does not remove panel objects.
|
|
> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
|
|
+ allow remapping of OS/2 mouse buttons using environment variable
|
|
MOUSE_BUTTONS_123 with the default value 132.
|
|
+ add mouse support to ncurses menus.
|
|
|
|
981121
|
|
+ modify misc/makedef.cmd to report old-style .def file symbols, and to
|
|
generate the .def files sorted by increasing names rather than the
|
|
reverse.
|
|
+ add misc/*.ref which are J.J.G.Ripoll's dll definition files (renamed
|
|
from misc/*.old), and updated based on the entrypoint coding he used
|
|
for an older version of ncurses.
|
|
+ add README.emx, to document how to build on OS/2 EMX.
|
|
+ updates for config.guess, config.sub from Lynx
|
|
> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
|
|
+ minor fixes for mouse handling mode:
|
|
a) Do not initialize mouse if the request is to have no mouse;
|
|
b) Allow switching of OS/2 VIO mouse on and off.
|
|
+ modify Makefile.os2 to support alternative means of generating
|
|
configure script, by translating Unix script with Perl.
|
|
> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ Updates MANIFEST to reflect changes in source structure
|
|
+ Eliminates a problem introduced with my last patch for the C++
|
|
binding in the panels code. It removes the update() call done in the
|
|
panel destructor.
|
|
+ Changes in the Ada95 binding to better support systems where
|
|
sizeof(chtype)!=sizeof(int) (e.g. DEC Alpha).
|
|
|
|
981114
|
|
+ modify install-script for manpages to skip over .orig and .rej files
|
|
(request by Larry Virden).
|
|
> patches/discussion by Alexander Lukyanov:
|
|
+ move base-library sources into ncurses/base and tty (serial terminal)
|
|
sources into ncurses/tty, as part of Alexander Lukyanov's proposed
|
|
changes to ncurses library.
|
|
+ copy _tracemouse() into ncurses.c so that lib_tracemse.c need not
|
|
be linked into the normal ncurses library.
|
|
+ move macro winch to a function, to hide details of struct ldat
|
|
> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ fix a potential compile problem in cursesw.cc
|
|
+ some Ada95 cosmetics
|
|
+ fix a gen.c problem when compiling on 64-Bit machines
|
|
+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in "-L" linker switch
|
|
+ modify Ada95 makefiles to use the INSTALL_PREFIX setting.
|
|
|
|
981107
|
|
+ ifdef'd out lib_freeall.c when not configured.
|
|
+ rename _tracebits() to _nc_tracebits().
|
|
+ move terminfo-library sources into ncurses/tinfo, and trace-support
|
|
functions into ncurses/trace as part of Alexander Lukyanov's proposed
|
|
changes to ncurses library.
|
|
+ modify generated term.h to always specify its own definitions for
|
|
HAVE_TERMIOS_H, etc., to guard against inclusion by programs with
|
|
broken configure scripts.
|
|
|
|
981031
|
|
+ modify terminfo parsing to accept octal and hexadecimal constants,
|
|
like Solaris.
|
|
+ remove an autoconf 2.10 artifact from the configure script's check
|
|
for "-g" compiler options. (Though harmless, this confused someone
|
|
at Debian, who recently issued a patch that results in the opposite
|
|
effect).
|
|
+ add configure option --with-ada-compiler to accommodate installations
|
|
that do not use gcc as the driver for GNAT (patch by Juergen
|
|
Pfeifer).
|
|
|
|
981017
|
|
+ ensure ./man exists in configure script, needed when configuring
|
|
with --srcdir option.
|
|
+ modify infocmp "-r" option to remove limit on formatted termcap
|
|
output, which makes it more like Solaris' version.
|
|
+ modify captoinfo to treat no-argument case more like Solaris' version,
|
|
which uses the contents of $TERMCAP as the entry to format.
|
|
+ modify mk-2nd.awk to handle subdirectories, e.g., ncurses/tty
|
|
(patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
|
|
|
|
981010
|
|
+ modify --with-terminfo-dirs option so that the default value is the
|
|
${datadir} value, unless $TERMINFO_DIRS is already set. This gets
|
|
rid of a hardcoded list of candidate directories in the configure
|
|
script.
|
|
+ add some error-checking to _nc_read_file_entry() to ensure that
|
|
strings are properly terminated (Todd Miller).
|
|
+ rename manpage file curs_scr_dmp.3x to curs_scr_dump.3x, to
|
|
correspond with contents (reported by Neil Zanella
|
|
<nzanella@cs.mun.ca>).
|
|
+ remove redundant configure check for C++ which did not work when $CXX
|
|
was specified with a full pathname (reported by Andreas Jaeger).
|
|
+ corrected bcopy/memmove check; the macro was not standalone.
|
|
|
|
981003
|
|
+ remove unnecessary portion of OS/2 EMX mouse change from
|
|
check_pending() (reported by Alexander V Lukyanov).
|
|
|
|
980926
|
|
+ implement mouse support for OS/2 EMX (adapted from patch against
|
|
4.2(?) by Ilya Zakharevich).
|
|
+ add configure-check for bcopy/memmove, for 980919 changes to hashmap.
|
|
+ merge Data General terminfo from Hasufin <hasufin@vidnet.net> - TD
|
|
+ merge AIX 3.2.5 terminfo descriptions for IBM terminals, replaces
|
|
some older entries - TD
|
|
+ modify tic to compile into %'char' form in preference to %{number},
|
|
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.
|
|
> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
|
|
+ improve performance of tparm, now it takes 19% instead of 25% when
|
|
profiling worm.
|
|
+ rename maxlen/minlen to prec/width for better readability.
|
|
+ use format string for printing strings.
|
|
+ use len argument correctly in save_text, and pass it to save_number.
|
|
|
|
980919
|
|
+ make test_progs compile (but hashmap does not function).
|
|
+ correct NC_BUFFERED macro, used in lib_mvcur test-driver, modify
|
|
associated logic to avoid freeing the SP->_setbuf data.
|
|
+ add modules home_terminfo and getenv_num to libtinfo.
|
|
+ move write_entry to libtinfo, to work with termcap caching.
|
|
+ minor fixes to blue.c to build with atac.
|
|
+ remove softscroll.c module; no longer needed for testing.
|
|
> patches by Todd C Miller:
|
|
+ use strtol(3) instead of atoi(3) when parsing env variables so we can
|
|
detect a bogus (non-numeric) value.
|
|
+ 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.
|
|
> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
|
|
+ use default background in update_cost_from_blank()
|
|
+ disable scroll-hints when hashmap is configured.
|
|
+ improve integration of hashmap scrolling code, by adding oldhash and
|
|
newhash data to SP struct.
|
|
+ invoke del_curterm from delscreen.
|
|
+ modify del_curterm to set cur_term to null if it matches the function's
|
|
parameter which is deleted.
|
|
+ modify lib_doupdate to prefer parm_ich to the enter_insert_mode and
|
|
exit_insert_mode combination, adjusting InsCharCost to check
|
|
enter_insert_mode, exit_insert_mode and insert_padding. Add
|
|
insert_padding in insert mode after each char. This adds new costs
|
|
to the SP struct.

+ modify test-driver in lib_mvcur.s to use _nc_setbuffer, for consistent
|
|
treatment.
|
|
+ modify ncurses to restore output to unbuffered on endwin, and resume
|
|
buffering in refresh (see lib_set_term.c and NC_BUFFERED macro).
|
|
+ corrected HTML version numbers (according to the W3C validator, they
|
|
never were HTML 2.0-compliant, but are acceptable 3.0).
|
|
|
|
980905
|
|
+ modify MKterminfo.sh to generate terminfo.5 with tables sorted by
|
|
capability name, as in SVr4.
|
|
+ modified term.h, termcap.h headers to avoid redundant declarations.
|
|
+ change 'u_int' type in tset.c to unsigned, making this compile on
|
|
Sequent PRX 4.1 (reported by Michael Sterrett <msterret@coat.com>).
|
|
|
|
980829
|
|
+ corrections to mailing addresses, and moving the magic line that
|
|
causes the man program to invoke tbl to the first line of each
|
|
manpage (patch by Rick Ohnemus <rick@ecompcon.com>).
|
|
+ add Makefile.os2 and supporting scripts to generate dll's on OS/2 EMX
|
|
(from J.J.G.Ripoll, with further integration by TD).
|
|
+ correct a typo in icl6404 terminfo entry.
|
|
+ add xtermm and xtermc terminfo entries.
|
|
> from esr's terminfo version:
|
|

|
|
+ document AT&T acs characters in terminfo.5 manpage.
|
|
+ use EMX _scrsize() function if terminfo and environment do not
|
|
declare the screen size (reported by Ilya Zakharevich
|
|
<ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>).
|
|
+ remove spurious '\' characters from eterm and osborne terminfo
|
|
entries (prompted by an old Debian bug report).
|
|
+ correct reversed malloc/realloc calls in _nc_doalloc (reported by
|
|
Hans-Joachim Widmaier <hjwidmai@foxboro.com>).
|
|
+ correct misplaced parenthesis which caused file-descriptor from
|
|
opening termcap to be lost, from 980725 changes (reported by Andreas
|
|
Jaeger).
|
|
|
|
980815
|
|
+ modify lib_setup.c to eliminate unneeded include of <sys/ioctl.h> when
|
|
termios is not used (patch by Todd C Miller).
|
|
+ add function _nc_doalloc, to ensure that failed realloc calls do not
|
|
leak memory (reported by Todd C Miller).
|
|
+ improved ncsa-telnet terminfo entry.
|
|
|
|
980809
|
|
+ correct missing braces around a trace statement in read_entry.c,
|
|
from 980808 (reported by Kim DeVaughn <kimdv@best.com> and Liviu
|
|
Daia).
|
|
|
|
980808
|
|
+ fix missing include <errno.h> in ditto.c (reported by Bernhard
|
|
Rosenkraenzer <bero@k5.sucks.eu.org>)
|
|
+ add NCSA telnet terminfo entries from Francesco Potorti
|
|
<F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it>, from Debian bug reports.

|
|
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.
|
|
+ modify _nc_write_entry() to recover from failed attempt to link alias
|
|
for a terminfo on a filesystem which does not preserve character case
|
|
(reported by Peter L Jordan <PJordan@chla.usc.edu>).
|
|
|
|
980725
|
|
+ updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3
|
|
+ change name-comparisons in lib_termcap to compare no more than 2
|
|
characters (gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8, verified
|
|
with Solaris curses).
|
|
+ fix typo in curs_insstr.3x (patch by Todd C Miller)
|
|
+ use 'access()' to check if ncurses library should be permitted to
|
|
open or modify files with fopen/open/link/unlink/remove calls, in
|
|
case the calling application is running in setuid mode (request by
|
|
Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>, responding to Duncan Simpson
|
|
<dps@io.stargate.co.uk>).
|
|
+ arm100 terminfo entries from Dave Millen <dmill@globalnet.co.uk>).
|
|
+ qnxt2 and minitel terminfo entries from esr's version.
|
|
|
|
980718
|
|
+ use -R option with ldconfig on FreeBSD because otherwise it resets
|
|
the search path to /usr/lib (reported by Dan Nelson).
|
|
+ add -soname option when building shared libraries on OpenBSD 2.x
|
|
(request by QingLong).
|
|
+ add configure options --with-manpage-format and --with-manpage-renames
|
|
(request by QingLong).
|
|
+ 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
|
|
compile/link working Ada95 program.
|
|
+ flush output in beep and flash functions, fixing a problem with
|
|
getstr (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov)
|
|
+ fix egcs 1.0.2 warning for etip.h (patch by Chris Johns).
|
|
+ correct ifdef/brace nesting in lib_sprintf.c (patch by Bernhard
|
|
Rosenkraenzer <bero@Pool.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE>).
|
|
+ correct typo in wattr_get macro from 980509 fixes (patch by Dan
|
|
Nelson).
|
|
|
|
980704
|
|
+ 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%.
|
|
+ correct form of LD_SHARED_OPTS for HP-UX 10.x (patch by Tim Mooney).
|
|
+ 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.
|
|
+ modify configure script to support SCO osr5.0.5 shared libraries
|
|
(from comp.unix.sco.programmer newsgroup item by Mike Hopkirk
|
|
<hops@sco.com>).
|
|
+ eliminate extra GoTo call in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
|
|
Lukyanov).
|
|
+ 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
|
|
declared (from Adam J. Richter <adam@yggdrasil.com>)
|
|
+ remove spurious curs_set() call from leaveok() (J.T.Conklin).
|
|
+ corrected handling leaveok() in doupdate() (patch by Alexander V.
|
|
Lukyanov).
|
|
+ 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>)
|
|
+ refine ifdef's for TRACE so that libncurses has fewer dependencies
|
|
on libtinfo when TRACE is disabled.
|
|
+ modify configure script so that if the --with-termlib option is used
|
|
to generate a separate terminfo library, we chain it to the ncurses
|
|
library with a "-l" option (reported by Darryl Miles and Ian T.
|
|
Zimmerman).
|
|
|
|
980314
|
|
+ correct limits and window in wredrawln function (reported/analysis by
|
|
Alexander V. Lukyanov).
|
|
+ correct sed expression in configure script for --with-fallback
|
|
option (patch by Jesse Thilo).
|
|
+ correct some places in configure script where $enableval was used
|
|
rather than $withval (patch by Darryl Miles <dlm@g7led.demon.co.uk>).
|
|
+ modify some man-pages so no '.' or '..' falls between TH and SH
|
|
macros, to accommodate man_db program (reported by Ian T. Zimmerman
|
|
<itz@rahul.net>).
|
|
+ terminfo.src 10.2.1 from Eric's webpage.
|
|
> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ add copyright notices (and rcs id's) on remaining man-pages.
|
|
+ corrected prototypes for slk_* functions, using chtype rather than
|
|
attr_t.
|
|
+ implemented the wcolor_set() and slk_color() functions
|
|
+ the slk_attr_{set,off,on} functions need an additional void*
|
|
parameter according to XSI.
|
|
+ fix the C++ and Ada95 binding as well as the man pages to
|
|
reflect above enhancements.
|
|
|
|
980307
|
|
+ use 'stat()' rather than 'access()' in toe.c to check for the
|
|
existence of $HOME/.terminfo, since it may be a file.
|
|
+ suppress configure CF_CXX_LIBRARY check if we are not using g++
|
|
2.7.x, since this is not needed with g++ 2.8 or egcs (patch by
|
|
Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ turn on hashmap scrolling code by default, intend to remedy defects
|
|
by 4.3 release.
|
|
+ minor corrections to terminfo.src changelog.
|
|
|
|
980302 4.2 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
|
|
+ correct Florian's email address in ncurses-intro.html
|
|
+ terminfo.src 10.2.0 from Eric.
|
|
|
|
980228 pre-release
|
|
+ add linux-koi8r replace linux-koi8, which is not KOI8 (patch by
|
|
QingLong <qinglong@Bolizm.ihep.su>).
|
|
+ minor documentation fixes (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ add setlocale() call to ncurses.c (reported by Claes G. Lindblad
|
|
<claesg@algonet.se>).
|
|
+ correct sign-extension in lib_insstr.c (reported by Sotiris
|
|
Vassilopoulos <svas@leon.nrcps.ariadne-t.gr>)
|
|
|
|
980221 pre-release
|
|
+ regenerated some documentation overlooked in 980214 patch
|
|
(ncurses-intro.doc, curs_outopts.3x.html)
|
|
+ minor ifdef change to C++ binding to work with gcc 2.8.0 (patch by
|
|
Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ change maintainer's mailing address to florian@gnu.org, change
|
|
tentative mailing list address to bug-ncurses-request@gnu.org (patch
|
|
by Florian La Roche).
|
|
+ add definition of $(REL_VERSION) to c++/Makefile.in (reported by Gran
|
|
Hasse <gh@raditex.se>).
|
|
+ restore version numbers to Ada95 binding, accidentally deleted by
|
|
copyright patch (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
|
|
980214 pre-release
|
|
+ remove ncurses.lsm from MANIFEST so that it won't be used in FSF
|
|
distributions, though it is retained in development.
|
|
+ correct scaling of milliseconds to nanoseconds in lib_napms.c (patch
|
|
by Jeremy Buhler).
|
|
+ update mailing-list information (bug-ncurses@gnu.org).
|
|
+ update announcement for upcoming 4.2 release.
|
|
+ modify -lm test to check for 'sin()' rather than 'floor()'
|
|
+ remove spurious commas from terminfo.src descriptions.
|
|
+ change copyright notices to Free Software Foundation
|
|
|
|
980207
|
|
+ minor fixes for autoconf macros CF_ERRNO, CF_HELP_MESSAGE and
|
|
CF_SIZECHANGE
|
|
+ modify Makefile.glibc so that $(objpfx) is defined (H.J.Lu).
|
|
+ ifdef-out true-return from _nc_mouse_inline() which depends on
|
|
merge of QNX patch (pending 4.2 release).
|
|
> patch by J.T.Conklin, to split off seldom-used modules in ncurses
|
|
(reduces size by up to 2.6kb):
|
|
+ move functionality of _nc_usleep into napms, add configuration case
|
|
for nanosleep().

> adapted from patch for QNX by Xiaodan Tang:
|
|
+ initialize %P and %g variables set/used in tparm, and also ensure
|
|
that empty strings don't return a null result from tparam_internal
|
|
+ add QNX-specific prototype for vsscanf()
|
|
+ move initialization of SP->_keytry from init_keytry() to newterm() to
|
|
avoid resetting it via a keyok() call by mouse_activate().

|
|
test for no_color_video.
|
|
+ adjusted emx.src to use no_color_video, now works with ncurses 'b'
|
|
and 'k' tests.
|
|
+ implement no_color_video attribute, and as a special case, reverse
|
|
colors when the reverse attribute cannot be combined with color.

|
> patches by Fred Fish <fnf@ninemoons.com>
|
|
+ misc/Makefile.in (install.data): Avoid trying to install the CVS
|
|
directory.
|
|
+ aclocal.m4 (install.includes): Remove files in the include directory
|
|
where we are going to install new ones, not the original source
|
|
files.
|
|
+ misc/terminfo.src: Add entry for "beterm", derived from termcap
|
|
distributed with BeOS PR2 using captoinfo.
|
|
+ aclocal.m4: Wrap $cf_cv_type_of_bool with quotes (contains space)
|
|
+ aclocal.m4: Assume bool types are unsigned.
|
|
+ progs/infocmp.c: workaround mwcc 32k function data limit
|
|
|
|
980117
|
|
+ correct initialization of color-pair (from 970524) in xmas.c, which
|
|
was using only one color-pair for all colors (reported by
|
|
J.J.G.Ripoll).
|
|
+ add multithread options for objects build on EMX, for compatibility
|
|
with XFree86.
|
|
+ split up an expression in MKlib_gen.sh to work around a problem on
|
|
OS/2 EMX, with 'ash' (patch by J.J.G.Ripoll).
|
|
+ change terminfo entries xterm (xterm-xf86-v40), xterm-8bit rs1 to use
|
|
hard reset.
|
|
+ rename terminfo entry xterm-xf86-v39t to xterm-xf86-v40
|
|
+ remove bold/underline from sun console entries since they're not
|
|
implemented.
|
|
+ correct _tracef calls in _tracedump(), which did not separate format
|
|
from parameters.
|
|
+ correct getopt string for tic "-o" option, and add it to man-page
|
|
synopsis (reported by Darren Hiebert <darren@hmi.com>).
|
|
+ correct typo in panel/Makefile.in, reversed if-statement in scrolling
|
|
optimization (Alexander V. Lukyanov).
|
|
+ test for 'remove()', use 'unlink() if not found (patch by Philippe De
|
|
Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>).
|
|
> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ Improve a feature of the forms driver. For invisible fields
|
|
(O_VISIBLE off) only the contents but not the attributes are cleared.
|
|
We now clear both. (Reported by Javier Kohan
|
|
<jkohan@adan.fceia.unr.edu.ar>)
|
|
+ The man page form_field_opts.3x makes now clear, that invisible
|
|
fields are also always inactive.
|
|
+ adjust ifdef's to compile the C++ binding with the just released
|
|
gcc-2.8.0 c++ and the corresponding new C++ libraries.
|
|
|
|
980110
|
|
+ correct "?" command in ncurses.c; it was performing non-screen writes
|
|
while the program was in screen mode. (It "worked" in 1.9.9e because
|
|
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.
|
|
+ amend change to tputs() so that it does not return an error if
|
|
cur_term is null, since some applications depend on being able to use
|
|
tputs without initializing the terminal (reported by Christian J.
|
|
Robinson <infynity@cyberhighway.net>).
|
|
|
|
980103
|
|
+ add a copy of emx.src from J.J.G.Ripoll's OS/2 EMX version of ncurses
|
|
1.9.9e, together with fixes/additions for the "ansi" terminal type.
|
|
+ add tic check for save/restore cursor if change_scroll_region is
|
|
defined (from O'Reilly book).
|
|
+ modify read_termcap.c to handle EMX-style pathnames (reported by
|
|
J.J.G.Ripoll).
|
|
+ modify lib_raw.c to use EMX's setmode (from J.J.G.Ripoll, who says
|
|
EMX's curses does this).
|
|
+ modify _nc_tic_expand() to generate \0 rather than \200.
|
|
+ move/revise 'expand()' from dump_entry.c to ncurses library as
|
|
_nc_tic_expand(), for use by tack.
|
|
+ decode \a as \007 for terminfo, as per XSI.
|
|
+ correct translation of terminfo "^@", to \200, like \0.
|
|
+ modify next_char() to treat <cr><lf> the same as <newline>, for
|
|
cross-platform compatibility.
|
|
+ use new version of autoconf (971230) to work around limited
|
|
environment on CLIX, due to the way autoconf builds --help message.
|
|
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ check that the Ada95 binding runs against the correct version of
|
|
ncurses.
|
|
+ insert constants about the library version into the main spec-file of
|
|
the Ada95 binding.
|
|
|
|
971227
|
|
+ modify open/fopen calls to use binary mode, needed for EMX.
|
|
+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.10 mods for OS/2
|
|
EMX from J.J.G.Ripoll.
|
|
+ generated ncurses_cfg.h with patch (971222) to autoconf 2.12 which
|
|
bypasses limited sed buffer length.
|
|
> several changes from Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll <worm@arrakis.es>
|
|
(J.J.G.Ripoll) to support OS/2 EMX:
|
|
+ add a _scrolling flag to SP, to set when we encounter a terminal
|
|
that simply cannot scroll.
|
|
+ corrected logic in _nc_add_to_try(), by ensuring that strings with
|
|
embedded \200 characters are matched.
|
|
+ don't assume the host has 'link()' function, for linking terminfo
|
|
entries.
|
|
|
|
971220
|
|
+ if there's no ioctl's to support sigwinch handler, disable it.
|
|
+ add configure option --disable-ext-funcs to remove the extended
|
|
functions from the build.
|
|
+ add configure option --with-termlib to generate the terminfo
|
|
functions as a separate library.
|
|
+ add 'sources' rule to facilitate cross-compiling.
|
|
+ review/fix order of mostlyclean/clean/distclean rules.
|
|
+ modify install-rule for headers to first remove old header, in
|
|
case there was a symbolic link that confuses the install script.
|
|
+ corrected substitution for NCURSES_CONST in term.h (cf: 971108)
|
|
+ add null pointer checks in wnoutrefresh(), overlap() (patch by
|
|
Xiaodan Tang <xtang@qnx.com>)
|
|
+ correct tputs(), which could dereference a null cur_term if invoked
|
|
before terminal is initialized (patch by Christopher Seawood
|
|
<cls@seawood.org>)
|
|
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ makes better use of "pragma Inline" in the Ada95 binding
|
|
+ resynchronizes the generated html manpages
|
|
|
|
971213
|
|
+ additional fixes for man-pages section-references
|
|
+ add (for debugging) a check for ich/ich1 conflict with smir/rmir
|
|
to tic, etc.
|
|
+ remove hpa/vpa from rxvt terminal description because they are not
|
|
implemented correctly, added sgr0.
|
|
+ change ncurses 's' to use raw mode, so ^Q works (reported by Rudolf
|
|
Leitgeb <leitgeb@leland.stanford.edu>)
|
|
|
|
971206
|
|
+ modify protection when installing libraries to (normally) not
|
|
executable. HP-UX shared libraries are an exception.
|
|
+ add configure check for 'tack'.
|
|
+ implement script for renaming section-references in man-page install,
|
|
for Debian configuration.
|
|
+ add validity-check for SP in trace code in baudrate() (reported by
|
|
Daniel Weaver).
|
|
> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov (fixes to match sol25 curses)
|
|
+ modify 'overlay()' so that copy applies target window background to
|
|
characters.
|
|
+ correct 'mvwin()' so that it does not clear the previous locations.
|
|
+ correct lib_acs.c so that 8-bit character is not sign expanded in
|
|
case of wide characters in chtype.
|
|
+ correct control-char test in lib_addch.c for use with wide chars
|
|
+ use attribute in the chtype when adding a control character in
|
|
lib_addch.c control char was added with current attribute
|
|
|
|
971129
|
|
+ save/restore errno in _tracef() function
|
|
+ change treatment of initialize_color to use a range of 0..1000
|
|
(recommended by Daniel Weaver).
|
|
+ set umask in mkinstalldirs, fixing problems reported by users who
|
|
have set root's umask to 077.
|
|
+ correct bug in tic that caused capabilities to be reprinted at the
|
|
end of output when they had embedded comments.
|
|
+ rewrote wredrawln to correspond to XSI, and split-out since it is
|
|
not often used (from report by Alexander V. Lukyanov, 970825)
|
|
+ rewrote Dan Nelson's change to make it portable, as well as to
|
|
correct logic for handling backslashes.
|
|
+ add code to _nc_tgetent() to make it work more like a real tgetent().
|
|
It removes all empty fields, and removes all but the first in a group
|
|
of duplicate caps. The code was pulled from the BSD libtermcap code
|
|
in termcap.c (patch by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>
|
|
+ don't include --enable-widec in the --with-develop configure option,
|
|
since it is not binary-compatible with 4.1 (noted by Alexander V.
|
|
Lukyanov)

|
|
+ further improvements of the usage of elaboration pragmas in the Ada95
|
|
binding

+ enhanced Ada95 sample to use the user_data mechanism for panels.
|
|
+ a fix for the configuration script to make gnat-3.10 the required
|
|
version.
|
|
+ resync of the html version of the manpages
|
|
|
|
971122

This has been contributed to the project by Laurent Pautet
|
|
(pautet@gnat.com)
|
|
|
|
971115
|
|
+ increase MAX_NAME_SIZE to 512 to handle extremely long alias list
|
|
in HP-UX terminfo.
|
|
+ correction & simplification of delay computation in tputs, based on
|
|
comments from Daniel Weaver.
|
|
+ replace test for SCO with more precise header tests.
|
|
+ add configure test for unsigned literals, use in NCURSES_BITS macro.
|
|
+ comment-out the -PIC, etc., flags from c++, progs and test makefiles
|
|
since they probably are not needed, and are less efficient (noted by.
|
|
Ju"rgen Fluk)
|
|
+ add -L$(libdir) to loader options, after -L../lib so that loaders
|
|
that record this information will tend to do the right thing if
|
|
the programs are moved around after installing them (suggested by.
|
|
Ju"rgen Fluk).
|
|
+ add -R option to loader options for programs for Solaris if the
|
|
--enable-rpath option is specified for the libraries.
|
|
|
|
971112
|
|
+ correct installed filename for shared libraries on *BSD (reported by
|
|
Ju"rgen Fluk).
|
|
|
|
971108
|
|
+ cleanup logic for deciding when tputs() should call delay_output(),
|
|
based on comments from Daniel Weaver.
|
|
+ modified tputs() to avoid use of float.
|
|
+ correct use of trailpad in tputs(), which used the wrong variable
|
|
in call to delay_output().
|
|
+ correct inverted expression for null-count in delay_output()
|
|
(analysis by Daniel Weaver).
|
|
+ apply --enable-rpath option to Solaris (requested by Larry Virden).
|
|
+ correct substitution of EXTRA_CFLAGS for gcc 2.6.3
|
|
+ correct check for error-return by _nc_tgetent(), which returns 0
|
|
for success.
|
|
+ add configure test for BSD 4.4 cgetent() function, modify
|
|
read_termcap.c to use the host's version of that if found, using the
|
|
terminal database on FreeBSD (reported by Peter Wemm).
|
|
+ add u8, u9 strings to sun-il description for Daniel Weaver.
|
|
+ use NCURSES_CONST in panel's user-pointer.
|
|
+ modify edit_cfg.sh and MKterm.h.awk.in to substitute NCURSES_CONST
|
|
so that will work on NeXT.
|
|
+ use _nc_set_screen() rather than assignments to SP to fix port to
|
|
NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
|
|
|
|
971101
|
|
+ force mandatory padding in bell and flash_screen, as specified in XSI.
|
|
+ don't allow padding_baud_rate to override mandatory delays (reported
|
|
by Daniel Weaver).
|
|
+ modify delay_output() to use _nc_timed_wait() if no baudrate has been
|
|
defined, or if the cur_term pointer is not initialized. XSI treats
|
|
this as unspecified. (requested by Daniel Weaver).
|
|
+ change getcap-cache ifdef's to eliminate unnecessary chdir/mkdir
|
|
when that feature is not configured.
|
|
+ remove _nc_err_abort() calls when write_entry.c finds a directory but
|
|
cannot write to it, e.g., when translating part/all of /etc/termcap
|
|
(reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>).
|
|
(this dates back to 951102, in 1.9.7a).
|
|
+ minor ifdef fixes to compile with atac and glibc 2.0.5c
|
|
+ add check for -lgen when configuring regexpr.h
|
|
+ modify Solaris shared-library option "-d y" to "-dy" to workaround
|
|
incompatibility of gcc 2.7.2 vs vendor's tools.
|
|
|
|
971026
|
|
+ correct ifdef's for struct winsize vs struct ttysize in lib_setup.c
|
|
to compile on SCO.
|
|
+ remove dangling backslash in panel/Makefile.in
|
|
+ modify MKkeyname.awk to work with SCO's nawk, which dumps core in the
|
|
length() function.
|
|
+ correct length of allocation in _nc_add_to_try(), to allow for
|
|
trailing null.
|
|
+ correct logic in _nc_remove_key(), which was discarding too many
|
|
nodes (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
|
|
|
|
971025
|
|
+ add definition for $(REL_VERSION) to test/Makefile.in, so *BSD
|
|
shared libraries link properly (see 970524).
|
|
+ modify Linux shared-library generation to include library
|
|
dependencies (e.g., -lncurses and -lgpm) in the forms, menu and
|
|
panel libraries (suggested by Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ modify configure script to use config.guess and config.sub rather
|
|
than uname, which is unreliable on some systems.
|
|
+ updated Makefile.glibc, test-built with glibc 2.0.5c
|
|
+ modify keyname() to return values consistent with SVr4 curses (patch
|
|
by Ju"rgen Fluk).
|
|
> changes requested by Daniel Weaver:
|
|
+ modify delay_output() so that it uses the same output function as
|
|
tputs() if called from that function.
|
|
+ move _baudrate from SCREEN to TERMINAL so that low-level use of
|
|
tputs works when SP is not set.
|
|
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ factor lib_menu and lib_form into smaller modules
|
|
+ clean up the interface between panel and SCREEN
|
|
+ minor changes to the Ada95 mouse support implemenation
|
|
+ minor bugfix in C++ binding to ripoff windows
|
|
+ fix a few Ada95 html documentation pages
|
|
|
|
971018
|
|
+ split-out lib_ungetch.c, make runtime link to resizeterm() to
|
|
decouple those modules from lib_restart.c
|
|
+ add xterm-xf86-v39t description to terminfo.src
|
|
+ reset SP->_endwin in lib_tstp.c cleanup() function after calling
|
|
endwin() to avoid unnecessary repainting if the application has
|
|
established an atexit function, etc. Encountered this problem in
|
|
the c++ demo, whose destructors repaint the screen.
|
|
+ combine _nc_get_screensize() and resizeterm() calls as new function
|
|
_nc_update_screensize().
|
|
+ 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.
|
|
> minor interface changes (request by Daniel Weaver <danw@znyx.com>,
|
|
to support 'tack' program):
|
|
+ export functions _nc_trans_string() and _nc_msec_cost().
|
|
+ add variable _nc_nulls_sent, to record the number of padding
|
|
characters output in delay_output().
|
|
+ move tests for generic_type and hard_copy terminals in setupterm()
|
|
to the end of that function so that the library will still be
|
|
initialized, though not generally useful for curses programs.
|
|
> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
|

+ modify ClrBottom() to avoid using clr_eos if there is only one line
|
|
to erase.
|
|
+ typo in configure --help.
|
|
> patch by J.T.Conklin (with minor resync against Juergen's changes)

|
|
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
|
|
(from Pavel Roskin <pavel@absolute.spb.su>).
|
|
+ corrected definition in curses.h for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I'
|
|
rather than 'i' (see 970802).
|
|
+ updated terminfo.src with reformatted acsc entries, and repaired the
|
|
trashed entries with spurious '\' characters that this exposed.
|
|
+ add logic to dump_entry.c to reformat acsc entries into canonical
|
|
form (sorted, unique mapping).
|
|
+ add configure script to generate c++/etip.h
|
|
+ add configure --with-develop option, to enable by default most of the
|
|
experimental options (requested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
|
|
+ rename 'deinstall' to 'uninstall', following GNU convention (suggested
|
|
by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
|
|
> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
|
|
+ modify tactics 2 and 5 in onscreen_mvcur(), to allow them on the last
|
|
line of the screen, since carriage return will not cause a newline.
|
|
+ remove clause from PutCharLR() that would try to use
|
|
eat_newline_glitch since that apparently does not work on some
|
|
terminals (e.g., M$ telnet).
|
|
+ correct a limit check in scroll_csr_backward()
|
|
> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ adds dummy implementations of methods above() and below() to the
|
|
NCursesPanel class.
|
|
+ fixes missing returncode in NCursesWindow::ripoffline()
|
|
+ fixes missing returncode in TestApplication::run() in demo.cc
|
|
+ We should at least give a comment in etip.h why it is currently a
|
|
problem to install the C++ binding somewhere
|
|
+ makes the WINDOW* argument of wenclose() a const.
|
|
+ modifies several of the routines in lib_adabind.c to use a const
|
|
WINDOW* argument.
|
|
|
|
970927
|
|
+ add 'deinstall' rules.
|
|
+ use explicit assignments in configure --without-progs option to
|
|
work around autoconf bug which doesn't always set $withval.
|
|
+ check for ldconfig, don't try to run it if not found.
|
|
+ implement simple/unoptimized case in lib_doupdate.c to handle
|
|
display with magic cookie glitch, tested with ncurses.c program.
|
|
+ correct missing _tracef in getmouse(), to balance the returnCode
|
|
macro.
|
|
+ simplify show_attr() in ncurses.c using termattrs().
|
|
> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ provides missing inlines for mvw[hv]line in cursesw.h of the C++
|
|
binding
|
|
+ fixes a typo in a comment of frm_driver.c
|
|
+ Enhances Ada95 Makefiles to fulfill the requirement of GNAT-3.10 that
|
|
generics should be compiled. Proper fixes to the configuration
|
|
scripts are also provided.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
+ add missing endwin() to testscanw.c program (reported by Fausto
|
|
Saporito <fausap@itb.it>).
|
|
+ fixes/updates for Makefile.glibc and related files under sysdeps
|
|
(patch by H.J.Lu).
|
|
> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ add checks for null pointers, especially WINDOW's throughout the
|
|
ncurses library.
|
|
+ solve a problem with wrong calculation of panel overlapping (reported
|
|
by Ward Horner):
|
|
+ make sure that a panel's window isn't a pad.
|
|
+ do more error checking in module lib_touch.c
|
|
+ missing files for Ada95 binding from the last patch
|
|
+ synch. of generated html pages (RCS-Id's were wrong in html files)
|
|
+ support for Key_Resize in Ada binding
|
|
+ changed documentation style in ./c++/cursesm.h
|
|
> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
|
|
+ undo attempt to do recursive inlining for PutChar(), noting that it
|
|
did not improve timing measurably, but inflated the size of
|
|
lib_doupdate.o
|
|
|
|
970913
|
|
+ modify rain.c to use color.
|
|
+ correct scroll_csr_backward() to match scroll_csr_forward().
|
|
+ minor adjustment to llib-lncurses, to work with Solaris 2.5.1
|
|
+ minor fixes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure to reflect renaming
|
|
of configure cache variables in 970906.
|
|
+ correct logic involving changes to O_VISIBLE option in
|
|
Synchronize_Options function in frm_driver.c (Tony Hoffmann
|
|
<Tony.Hoffmann@hia.nrc.ca>)
|
|
+ add $(HOSTCC) symbol to ncurses Makefile.in, to simplify setup for
|
|
cross compiling (suggested by Chris Johns).
|
|
+ modify ifdef in lib_setup.c to only include <sys/ioctl.h> if we can
|
|
use it to support screen-size calculation (reported by Chris Johns).
|
|
+ #undef unctrl to avoid symbol conflict in port to RTEMS (reported by
|
|
Chris Johns <cjohns@plessey.com.au>)
|
|
> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ simplified, made minor corrections to Ada95 binding to form fieldtype.
|
|
+ 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)
|
|
move of subwindows. Fixed update behaviour of movements of regular
|
|
windows.
|
|
+ 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.
|
|
> patches by H.J.Lu for glibc integration:
|
|
+ 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 "./").
|
|
|
|
970621
|
|
+ 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.
|
|
+ correct a loop-limit in _nc_hash_map() (patch by Alexander V.
|
|
Lukyanov).
|
|
|
|
970615
|
|
+ restore logic in _nc_scroll_optimize() which marks as touched the
|
|
lines in curscr that are shifted.
|
|
+ add new utility 'make_keys' to compute keys.tries as a table rather
|
|
than a series of function calls.
|
|
+ correct include-dependency for tic.h used by name_match
|
|
+ removed buffer-allocation for name and description from m_item_new.c,
|
|
since this might result in incompatibilities with SVr4. Also fixed
|
|
the corresponding Ada95 binding module (patch by Juergen Pfeifer,
|
|
from report by Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>)
|
|
+ removed the mechanism to timestamp the generated Ada95 sources. This
|
|
resulted always in generating patches for the HTML doc, even when
|
|
nothing really changed (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ improve man page mitem_new.3x (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
|
|
970614
|
|
+ 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>)
|
|
+ correct prototype for termattrs() as per XPG4 version 2.
|
|
+ add placeholder prototypes for color_set(), erasewchar(),
|
|
term_attrs(), wcolor_set() as per XPG4 version 2.
|
|
+ correct attribution for progs/progs.priv.h and lib_twait.c
|
|
+ improve line-breakout logic by checking based on changed lines rather
|
|
than total lines (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
|
|
+ correct loop limits for table-lookup of enumerated value in form
|
|
(patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ improve threshhold computation for determining when to call ClrToEOL
|
|
(patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
|
|
|
|
970531
|
|
+ add configure option --disable-database to force the library to
|
|
use only the fallback data.
|
|
+ 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
|
|
a mailing-list thread started by kjahds@kjahds.com Nov'1995).
|
|
+ restore original behavior in ncurses 'g' test, i.e., explicitly
|
|
set the keypad mode rather than use the default, since it confuses
|
|
people.
|
|
+ rewrote the newdemo banner so it's readable (reported by Hugh Daniel).
|
|
+ tidy up exit from hashtest (reported by Hugh Daniel).
|
|
+ restore check for ^Q in ncurses 'g' test broken in 970510 (reported
|
|
by Hugh Daniel)
|
|
+ correct tput program, checking return-value of setupterm (patch by
|
|
Florian La Roche).
|
|
+ correct logic in pnoutrefresh() and pechochar() functions (reported
|
|
by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf.usc.edu>). The computation
|
|
of 'wide' date to eric's #283 (1.9.9), and the pechochar bug to the
|
|
original implementation (1.9.6).
|
|
+ correct typo in vt102-w terminfo.src entry (patch by Robert Wuest
|
|
<rwuest@sire.vt.com>)
|
|
+ move calls of _nc_background() out of various loops, as its return
|
|
value will be the same for the whole window being operated on (patch
|
|
by J.T.Conklin).
|
|
+ add macros getcur[xy] getbeg[xy] getpar[xy], which are defined in
|
|
SVr4 headers (patch by J.T.Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.ORG>)
|
|
+ modify glibc addon-configure scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
|
|
+ correct a bug in hashmap.c: the size used for clearing the hashmap
|
|
table was incorrect, causing stack corruption for large values of
|
|
LINES, e.g., >MAXLINES/2 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
|
|
+ eric's terminfo 9.13.23 & 9.13.24 changes: replaced minitel-2 entry,
|
|
added MGR, ansi-nt (note: the changes described for 9.13.24 have not
|
|
been applied).
|
|
> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ correct a missing error-return in form_driver.c when wrapping of a
|
|
field is not possible.
|
|
+ correct logic in form_driver.c for configurations that do not have
|
|
memccpy() (reported by Sidik Isani <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
|
|
+ change several c++ binding functions to inline.
|
|
+ modify c++ menu binding to inherit from panels, for proper
|
|
initialization.
|
|
+ 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).
|
|
+ rewrote 'waddchnstr()' to avoid using the _nc_waddch_nosync()
|
|
function, thereby not interpreting tabs, etc., as per spec (patch by
|
|
Alexander V. Lukyanov).
|
|
|
|
970517
|
|
+ suppress check for pre-existing ncurses header if the --prefix
|
|
option is specified.
|
|
+ add configure options "--with-system-type" and "--with-system-release"
|
|
to assist in checking the generated makefiles.
|
|
+ add configure option "--enable-rpath" to allow installers to specify
|
|
that programs linked against shared libraries will have their library
|
|
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).
|
|
+ modify scrolling algorithm in _nc_scroll_optimize() to reject hunks
|
|
that are smaller than the distance to be moved (patch by Alexander V.
|
|
Lukyanov).
|
|
+ correct a place where the panel library was not ifdef'd in ncurses.c
|
|
(Juergen Pfeifer)
|
|
+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer)
|
|
|
|
970515 4.1 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
|
|
+ re-tag changes since 970505 as 4.1 release.
|
|
|
|
970510
|
|
+ modify ncurses 'g' test to allow mouse input
|
|
+ modify default xterm description to include mouse.
|
|
+ modify configure script to add -Wwrite-strings if gcc warnings are
|
|
enabled while configuring --enable-const (and fixed related warnings).
|
|
+ add toggle, status display for keypad mode to ncurses 'g' test to
|
|
verify that keypad and scrollok are not inherited from parent window
|
|
during a call to newwin.
|
|
+ correction to MKexpanded.sh to make it work when configure --srcdir is
|
|
used (reported by H.J.Lu).
|
|
+ revise test for bool-type, ensuring that it checks if builtin.h is
|
|
available before including it, adding test for sizeof(bool) equal
|
|
to sizeof(short), and warning user if the size cannot be determined
|
|
(reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
|
|
+ add files to support configuration of ncurses as an add-on library
|
|
for GNU libc (patch by H.J.Lu <hjl@lucon.org>)
|
|
|
|
970506
|
|
+ correct buffer overrun in lib_traceatr.c
|
|
+ modify change to lib_vidattr.c to avoid redundant orig_pair.
|
|
+ turn on 'echo()' in hanoi.c, since it is initially off.
|
|
+ rename local 'errno' variable in etip.h to avoid conflict with global
|
|
(H.J.Lu).
|
|
+ modify configure script to cache LD, AR, AR_OPTS (patch by H.J.Lu
|
|
<hjl@lucon.org>)
|
|
|
|
970505 4.1 pre-release
|
|
+ regenerate the misc directory html dumps without the link list, which
|
|
is not useful.
|
|
+ correct dependency in form directory makefile which caused unnecessary
|
|
recompiles.
|
|
+ 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
|
|
Alexander V. Lukyanov).
|
|
+ patch by Juergen Pfeifer for C++ binding and demo (see c++/NEWS)
|
|
+ correct index in lib_instr.c (Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ correct typo in 970426 patch from Tom's cleanup of lib_overlay.c
|
|
(Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
|
|
970426
|
|
+ corrected cost computation in PutRange(), which was using
|
|
milliseconds compared to characters by adding two new members to the
|
|
SCREEN struct, _hpa_ch_cost and _cup_ch_cost.
|
|
+ drop ncurses/lib_unctrl.c, add ncurses/MKunctrl.awk to generate a
|
|
const array of strings (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov, though
|
|
with a perl script 970118).
|
|
+ rewrote ncurses 'b' test to better exercise magic-cookie (xmc), as
|
|
well as noting the attributes that are not supported by a terminal.
|
|
+ trace the computation of cost values in lib_mvcur.c
|
|
+ modify _nc_visbuf() to use octal rather than hex, corrected sign
|
|
extension bug in that function that caused buffer overflow.
|
|
+ modify trace in lib_acs.c to use _nc_visbuf().
|
|
+ suppress trace within _traceattr2().
|
|
+ correct logic of _tracechtype2(), which did not account for repeats
|
|
or redefinition within an acsc string.
|
|
+ modify debug-library version baudrate() to use environment variable
|
|
$BAUDRATE to override speed computation. This is needed for
|
|
regression testing.
|
|
+ correct problems shown by "weblint -pedantic".
|
|
+ update mailing-list information (now ncurses@bsdi.com).
|
|
|
|
970419
|
|
+ Improve form_field_validation.3x manpage to better describe the
|
|
precision parameter for TYPE_NUMERIC and TYPE_INTEGER. Provide more
|
|
precise information how the range checking can be avoided. (patch by
|
|
Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan Henderson)
|
|
+ change type of min/max value of form types TYPE_INTEGER to long to
|
|
match SVr4 documentation.
|
|
+ set the form window to stdscr in set_form_win() so that form_win()
|
|
won't return null (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan
|
|
Henderson <bryanh@giraffe.netgate.net>).
|
|
|
|
970412
|
|
+ corrected ifdef'ing of inline (from 970321) for TRACE vs C++.
|
|
+ corrected toggle_attr_off() macro (patch by Andries.Brouwer).
|
|
+ modify treatment of empty token in $MANPATH to /usr/man (reported by
|
|
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>)
|
|
+ modify traces that record functions-called so that chtype and attr_t
|
|
values are expressed symbolically, to simplify reuse of generated
|
|
test-scripts on SVr4 regression testing.
|
|
+ add new trace functions _traceattr2() and _tracechtype2()
|
|
|
|
970405
|
|
+ add configure option --enable-const, to support the use of 'const'
|
|
where XSI should have, but did not, specify. This defines
|
|
NCURSES_CONST, which is an empty token otherwise, for strict
|
|
compatibility.
|
|
+ make processing of configure options more verbose by echoing the
|
|
--enable/--with values.
|
|
+ add configure option --enable-big-core
|
|
+ set initial state of software echo off as per XSI.
|
|
+ check for C++ builtin.h header
|
|
+ correct computation of absolute-path for $INSTALL that dropped "-c"
|
|
parameter from the expression.
|
|
+ rename config.h to ncurses_cfg.h to avoid naming-conflict when ncurses
|
|
is integrated into larger systems (from diffs by H.J.Lu for libc).
|
|
+ correct inequality in lib_doupdate.c that caused a single-char to not
|
|
be updated when the char on the right-margin was not blank, idcok()
|
|
was true (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov 970124, also reported by
|
|
Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu> 970329).
|
|
+ modify 'clean' rule in include/Makefile so that files created by
|
|
configure script are removed in 'distclean' rule instead.
|
|
|
|
970328
|
|
+ correct array limit in tparam_internal(), add case to interpret "%x"
|
|
(patch by Andreas Schwab)
|
|
+ rewrote number-parsing in ncurses.c 'd' test; it did not reset the
|
|
value properly when non-numeric characters were given (reported by
|
|
Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
|
|
|
|
970321
|
|
+ move definition of __INTERNAL_CAPS_VISIBLE before include for
|
|
progs.priv.h (patch by David MacKenzie).
|
|
+ add configuration summary, reordered check for default include
|
|
directory to better accommodate a case where installer is configuring
|
|
a second copy of ncurses (reported by Klaus Weide
|
|
<kweide@tezcat.com>)
|
|
+ moved the #define for 'inline' as an empty token from the
|
|
$(CFLAGS_DEBUG) symbol into config.h, to avoid redefinition warning
|
|
(reported by Ward Horner).
|
|
+ modify test for bool builtin type to use 'unsigned' rather than
|
|
'unknown' when cross-compiling (reported by Ward Horner).
|
|
|
|
970315
|
|
+ add header dependencies so that "make install.libs" will succeed
|
|
even if "make all" is not done first.
|
|
+ moved some macros from lib_doupdate.c to curses.priv.h to use in
|
|
expanded functions with ATAC.
|
|
+ correct implementation of lib_instr.c; both XSI and SVr4 agree that
|
|
the winnstr functions can return more characters than will fit on one
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
970308
|
|
+ modify script that generates lib_gen.c to support traces of called &
|
|
return.
|
|
+ add new configure option "--disable-macros", for testing calls within
|
|
lib_gen.c
|
|
+ corrected logic that screens level-checking of called/return traces.
|
|
|
|
970301

|
|
implements an expanded form of certain complex macros, for testing
|
|
with ATAC.
|
|
+ disable CHECK_POSITION unless --with-assertions is configured
|
|
(Alexander Lukyanov pointed out that this is redundant).
|
|
+ use keyname() to show traced chtype values where applicable rather
|
|
than _tracechar(), which truncates the value to 8-bits.
|
|
+ minor fixes to TRACE_ICALLS, added T_CREATE, TRACE_CCALLS macros.
|
|
+ modify makefiles in progs and test directories to avoid using C
|

(reported by Gary Johnson).
|
|
+ modify worm.c to hide cursor while running.
|
|

the returned buffer.
|
|
+ invoke ldconfig after installing shared library
|
|
+ modify install so that overwrite applies to shared library -lcurses
|
|
in preference to static library (reported by Zeyd 960928).
|
|
+ correct missing ';' in 961221 mod to overwrite option use of $(LN_S).
|
|
+ fixes to allow "make install" to work without first doing a "make
|
|
all" (suggested by Larry Virden).
|
|

use default background (firework, gdc, hanoi, knight, worm) to
|
|
demonstrate.
|
|

|
|
worm.
|

|
|
(SVr4) curses, which doesn't use 'const' in its prototypes.
|
|
+ modify ifdef's in test/hashtest.c and test/view.c to compile with
|
|
Solaris curses.
|
|
+ modify _tracedump() to pad pad colors & attrs lines to match change
|
|
in 970101 showing first/last changes.
|
|
+ corrected location of terminating null on dynamically allocated forms
|
|
fields (patch by Per Foreby).
|
|
|
|
970111
|
|
+ added headers to make view.c compile on SCO with the resizeterm()
|
|
code (i.e., struct winsize) - though this compiles, I don't have a
|
|
suitable test configuration since SIGWINCH doesn't pass my network to
|
|
that machine - T.Dickey.
|
|
+ update test/configure.in to supply some default substitutions.
|
|
+ modify configure script to add -lncurses after -lgpm to fix problem
|
|
linking against static libraries.
|
|
+ add a missing noraw() to test/ncurses.c (places noted by Jeremy
|
|
Buhler)
|
|
+ add a missing wclear() to test/testcurs.c (patch by Jeremy Buhler
|
|
<jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>)

"#define" lines for NCURSES_VERSION (reported by Larry W. Virden
|
|
<lvirden@cas.org>)
|
|
+ fix formatting glitch in curs_getch.3x (patch by Jesse Thilo).
|
|
+ modify lib_doupdate to make el, el1 and ed optimization use the
|
|
can_clear_with macro, and change EmitRange to allow leaving cursor at
|
|
the middle of interval, rather than always at the end (patch by
|
|
Alexander Lukyanov originally 960929, resync 970106).
|
|
|
|
970104
|
|
+ workaround defect in autoconf 2.12 (which terminates configuration
|
|
if no C++ compiler is found) by adding an option --without-cxx.
|
|
+ modify several man-pages to use tbl, where .nf/.fi was used (reported
|
|
by Jesse Thilo).
|
|
+ correct font-codes in some man-pages (patch by Jesse Thilo
|
|
<Jesse.Thilo@pobox.com>)
|
|
+ use configure script's knowledge of existence of g++ library for the
|
|
c++ Makefile (reported by Paul Jackson).
|
|
+ correct misleading description of --datadir configuration option
|
|
(reported by Paul Jackson <pj@sam.engr.sgi.com>)
|
|
|
|
970101
|
|
+ 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.
|
|
+ modify param of ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c to 'newscr', fixes
|
|
refresh problem (reported by Peter Wemm) that caused nvi to not show
|
|
result of ":r !ls" until a ^L was typed.
|
|
|
|
961229 (internal alpha)
|
|
+ correct some of the writable-strings warnings (reported by Gary
|
|
Johnson <gjohnson@season.com>). Note that most of the remaining ones
|
|
are part of the XSI specification, and can't be "fixed".
|
|
+ improve include-dependencies in form, menu, panel directories.
|
|
+ correct logic of delay_output(), which would return early if
|
|
there is data on stdin.
|
|
+ modify interface & logic of _nc_timed_wait() to support 2 file
|
|
descriptors, needed for GPM.
|
|
+ integrate patch by Andrew Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> for GPM (mouse)
|
|
support, correcting logic in wgetch() and _nc_mouse_parse() which
|
|
prevented patch from working properly.
|
|
+ improve performance of panel algorithm (Juergen Pfeifer 961203).
|
|
+ strip RCS id's from generated .html files in Ada95 subtree.
|
|
+ resync with generated .html files (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
|
|
+ terminfo.src 10.1.0 from Eric.
|
|
|
|
961224 4.0 release
|
|
+ release as 4.0 to accommodate Linux ld.so.1.8.5
|
|
+ correct syntax/spelling, regenerated .doc files from .html using
|
|
lynx 2.5
|
|
+ refined forms/menus makefiles (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
|
|
|
|
961221 - snapshot
|
|
+ remove logic in read_entry.c that attempts to refine errno by using
|
|
'access()' for the directory (from patch by Florian La Roche).
|
|
+ correct configure test/substitution that inhibits generating
|
|
include-path to /usr/include if gcc is used (reported by Florian La
|
|
Roche).
|
|
+ modify setupterm() to allocate new TERMINAL for each call, just as
|
|
solaris' curses does (Alexander Lukyanov 960829).
|
|
+ corrected memory leaks in read_entry.c
|
|
+ add configure options --with-dbmalloc, --with-dmalloc, and
|
|
--disable-leaks, tested by instrumenting infocmp, ncurses programs.
|
|
+ move #include's for stdlib.h and string.h to *.priv.h to accommodate
|
|
use of dbmalloc.
|
|
+ modify use of $(LN_S) to follow recommendation in autoconf 2.12,
|
|
i.e., set current directory before linking.
|
|
+ split-out panel.priv.h, improve dependencies for forms, menus
|
|
(Juergen Pfeifer 961204).
|
|
+ modify _nc_freewin() to reset globals curscr/newscr/stdscr when
|
|
freeing the corresponding WINDOW (Purify).
|
|
+ modify delwin() to return ERR if the window to be deleted has
|
|
subwindows, needed as a side-effect of resizeterm() (Purify). Tested
|
|
and found that SVr4 curses behaves this way.
|
|
+ implement logic for _nc_freeall(), bringing stub up to date.
|
|
|
|
961215
|
|
+ modify wbkgd() so that it doesn't set nulls in the rendered text,
|
|
even if its argument doesn't specify a character (fixes test case by
|
|
Juergen Pfeifer for bug-report).
|
|
+ set window-attributes in wbkgd(), to simplify comparison against
|
|
Solaris curses, which does this.
|
|
|
|
961214 - snapshot
|
|
+ replace most constants in ncurses 'o' test by expressions, making it
|
|
work with wider range of screen sizes.
|
|
+ add options to ncurses.c to specify 'e' test softkey format, and the
|
|
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.
|
|
+ correct logic in wresize that causes new lines to be allocated,
|
|
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
|
|
inclusion of libraries when given the full name - T.Dickey).
|
|
+ modify configure script to allow user-supplied $CFLAGS to set the
|
|
debug-option in all libraries (requested by lots of people).
|
|
+ use return consistently from main(), rather than exit (reported by
|
|
Florian La Roche).
|
|
+ add --enable-getcap-cache option to configure, normally disabled
|
|
(requested by Florian La Roche).
|
|
+ make configure test for gettimeofday() and possibly -lbsd more
|
|
efficient (requested by Florian La Roche florian@knorke.saar.de)
|
|
+ minor adjustments to Ada95 binding (patches by Juergen Pfeifer)
|
|
+ correct attributes after emitting orig_pair in lib_vidattr.c (patch
|
|
by lav@yars.free.net).
|
|
|
|
961208
|
|
+ corrected README wrt Ada95 (Juergen Pfeifer)
|
|
|
|
961207 - snapshot
|
|
+ integrate resizeterm() into doupdate(), so that if screen size
|
|
changes between endwin/refresh, ncurses will resize windows to fit
|
|
(this needs additional testing with pads and softkeys).
|
|
+ add, for memory-leak testing, _nc_freeall() entrypoint to free all
|
|
data used in ncurses library.
|
|
+ initialize _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok statically to resolve discrepancy
|
|
between initscr() and newwin() initialization (reported by
|
|
lav@yars.free.net).
|
|
+ test built VERSION=4.0, SHARED_ABI=4 with Linux ld.so.1.8.5
|
|
(set beta versions to those values -- NOTE that subsequent pre-4.0
|
|
beta may not be interchangeable).
|
|
+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.12
|
|
|
|
961130 1.9.9g release
|
|
+ add copyright notices to configuration scripts (written by Thomas
|
|
Dickey).
|
|
|
|
961127
|
|

|
|
+ cosmetic improvement for a few routines in the ncurses core library
|
|
to avoid warning messages.
|
|
+ the panel overlap detection was broken
|
|
+ the panel_window() function was not fool-proof.
|
|
+ Some inlining...
|
|
+ Cosmetic changes (also to avoid warning messages when compiling with
|
|
-DTRACE).
|
|
|
|
961126
|
|
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
|
|
+ eliminates warning messages for the compile of libform.
|
|
+ inserts Per Foreby's new field type TYPE_IPV4 into libform.
|
|
+ Updates man page and the Ada95 binding to reflect this.
|
|
+ Improves inlining in libmenu and libform.
|
|
|
|
961120
|
|
+ improve the use of the "const" qualifier in the
|
|
panel library (Juergen Pfeifer)
|
|
+ change set_panel_userptr() and panel_userptr() to use void*
|
|
(Juergen Pfeifer)
|
|
|
|
961119
|
|
+ change ABI to 3.4
|
|
+ package with 961119 version of Ada95 binding (fixes for gnat-3.07).
|
|
(Juergen Pfeifer)
|
|
+ correct initialization of the stdscr pseudo panel in panel library
|
|
(Juergen Pfeifer)
|
|
+ use MODULE_ID (rcs keywords) in forms and menus libraries (Juergen
|
|
Pfeifer).
|
|
> patch #324 by Eric.
|
|
+ typo in curs_termcap man page (reported by Hendrik Reichel
|
|
<106065.2344@compuserve.com>)
|
|
+ change default xterm entry to xterm-r6.
|
|
+ add entry for color_xterm
|
|
|
|
961116 - snapshot
|
|
+ lint found several functions that had only #define implementations
|
|
(e.g., attr_off), modified curses.h.in to generate them as per XSI
|
|
Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
|
|
+ add check in infocmp.c to guard against string compare of
|
|
CANCELLED_STRING values.
|
|
+ modify firework.c, rain.c to hide cursor while running.
|
|
+ correct missing va_end in lib_tparm.c
|
|
+ modify hanoi.c to work on non-color terminals, and to use timing
|
|
delays when in autoplay mode.
|
|
+ correct 'echochar()' to refresh immediately (reported by Adrian
|
|
Garside 94ajg2@eng.cam.ac.uk)
|
|
> patch #322 by eric:
|
|
+ reorganize terminfo.src entries for xterm.
|
|
|
|
961109 - snapshot
|
|
+ corrected error in line-breakout logic (lib_doupdate.c)
|
|
+ modified newdemo to use wgetch(win) rather than getch() to eliminate
|
|
a spurious clear-screen.
|
|
+ corrected ifdef's for 'poll()' configuration.
|
|
+ added modules to ncurses, form, menu for Ada95 binding (Juergen
|
|
Pfeifer).
|
|
+ modify set_field_buffer() to allow assignment of string longer than
|
|
the initial buffer length, and to return the complete string rather
|
|
than only the initial size (Juergen Pfeifer and Per Foreby
|
|
<perf@efd.lth.se>).
|
|
|
|
961102 - snapshot
|
|
+ configure for 'poll()' in preference to 'select()', since older
|
|
systems are more likely to have a broken 'select()'.
|
|
+ modified render_char() to avoid OR'ing colors.
|
|
+ minor fixes to testcurs.c, newdemo.c test programs: ifdef'd out the
|
|
resize test, use wbkgd and corrected box() parameters.
|
|
+ make flushinp() test work in ncurses.c by using napms() instead of
|
|
sleep().
|
|
+ undo Eric's changes to xterm-x11r6 (it no longer matched the X11R6.1
|
|
distribution, as stated)
|
|
+ terminfo 9.13.18 (resync by Eric)
|
|
+ check for getenv("HOME") returning null (Eric).
|
|
+ change buffer used to decode xterm-mouse commands to unsigned to
|
|
handle displays wider than 128 chars (Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ correct typo curs_outopts.3x (Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ correct limit-checking in wenclose() (Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ correction to Peter Wemm's newwin change (Thomas Fehr <fehr@suse.de>).
|
|
+ corrections to logic that combines colors and attributes; they must
|
|
not be OR'd (Juergen Pfeifer, extending from report/patch by Rick
|
|
Marshall).
|
|
|
|
961026 - snapshot
|
|
+ reset flags in 'getwin()' that might cause refresh to attempt to
|
|
manipulate the non-existent parent of a window that is read from a
|
|
file (lib_screen.c).
|
|
+ restructure _nc_timed_wait() to log more information, and to try to
|
|
recover from badly-behaved 'select()' calls (still testing this).
|
|
+ move define for GOOD_SELECT into configure script.
|
|
+ corrected extra '\' character inserted before ',' in comp_scan.c
|
|
+ corrected expansion of %-format characters in dump_entry.c; some were
|
|
rendered as octal constants.
|
|
+ modify dump_entry.c to make terminfo output more readable and like
|
|
SVr4, by using "\s" for spaces (leading/trailing only), "\," for
|
|
comma, "\^" and "\:" as well.
|
|
+ corrected some memory leaks in ncurses.c, and a minor logic error
|
|
in the top-level command-parser.
|
|
+ correction for label format 4 (PC style with info line), a
|
|
slk_clear(), slk_restore() sequence didn't redraw the info line
|
|
(Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ modified the slk window (if simulated) to inherit the background and
|
|
default character attributes from stdscr (Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
+ corrected limit-check in set_top_row (Juergen Pfeifer).
|
|
|
|
961019 - snapshot
|
|
+ correct loop-limit in wnoutrefresh(), bug exposed during pipe-testing
|
|
had '.lastchar' entry one beyond '._maxx'.
|
|
+ modify ncurses test-program to work with data piped to it.
|
|
+ corrected pathname computation in run_tic.sh, removing extra "../"
|
|
(reported by Tim Mooney).
|
|
+ modified configure script to use previous install's location for
|
|
curses.h
|
|
+ added NetBSD and FreeBSD to platforms that use --prefix=/usr as
|
|
a default.
|
|
|
|
961013
|
|
+ revised xterm terminfo descriptions to reflect the several versions
|
|
that are available.
|
|
+ corrected a pointer reference in dump_entry.c that didn't test if
|
|
the pointer was -1.
|
|
|
|
961005 - snapshot
|
|
+ correct _nc_mvcur_scrolln for terminals w/o scrolling region.
|
|
+ add -x option to hashtest to control whether it allows writes to the
|
|
lower-right corner.
|
|
+ ifdef'd (NCURSES_TEST) the logic for _nc_optimize_enable to make it
|
|
simpler to construct tests (for double-check of _nc_hash_map tests).
|
|
+ correct ifdef's for c++ in curses.h
|
|
+ change default xterm type to xterm-x11r6.
|
|
+ correct quoting in configure that made man-pages installed with
|
|
$datadir instead of actual terminfo path.
|
|
+ correct whitespace in include/Caps, which caused kf11, clr_eol and
|
|
clr_end to be omitted from terminfo.5
|
|
+ fix memory leaks in delscreen() (adapted from Alexander Lukyanov).
|
|
+ improve appearance of marker in multi-selection menu (Juergen
|
|
Pfeifer)
|
|
+ fix behaviour for forms with all fields inactive (Juergen
|
|
Pfeifer)
|
|
+ document 'field_index()' (Juergen Pfeifer)
|
|
> patch #321 by eric:
|
|
+ add some more XENIX keycap translations to include/Caps.
|
|
+ modify newwin to set initial state of each line to 'touched'
|
|
(from patch by Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.dialix.com>)
|
|
+ in SET_TTY, replace TCSANOW with TCSADRAIN (Alexander Lukyanov).
|
|
|
|
960928 - snapshot
|
|
+ ifdef'd out _nc_hash_map (still slower)
|
|
+ add graphic characters to vt52 description.
|
|
+ use PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to ensure proper background, position.
|
|
+ simplify/correct logic in 'mvcur()' that does wrapping; it was
|
|
updating the position w/o actually moving the cursor, which broke
|
|
relative moves.
|
|
+ ensure that 'doupdate()' sets the .oldindex values back to a sane
|
|
state; this was causing a spurious refresh in ncurses 'r'.
|
|
+ add logic to configure (from vile) to guard against builders who
|
|
don't remove config.cache & config.status when doing new builds.
|
|
+ corrected logic for 'repeat_char' in EmitRange (from #317), which
|
|
did not follow the 2-parameter scheme specified in XSI.
|
|
+ corrected logic of wrefresh, wnoutrefresh broken in #319, making
|
|
clearok work properly (from report by Michael Elkins).
|
|
+ corrected problem with endwin introduced by #314 (removing the
|

960622 - snapshot
|

|
|
+ corrected wbkgdset to work like observed syvr4 (sets A_CHARTEXT part
|
|
to blank if no character given, copies attributes to window's
|
|
attributes).
|
|
+ modified lib_doupdate.c to use lower-level SP's current_attr state
|
|
instead of curscr's state, since it is redundant.
|
|

### 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:
|
|
|
|
#define TRACE_DISABLE 0x00 /* turn off tracing */
|
|
#define TRACE_ORDINARY 0x01 /* ordinary trace mode */
|
|
#define TRACE_CHARPUT 0x02 /* also trace all character outputs */
|
|
#define TRACE_MAXIMUM 0x0f /* maximum trace level */
|
|
|
|
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().
