> merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
+ support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer. The test programs
such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
this feature.
+ the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
+ other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
ncurses library work as expected.
+ applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
+ in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
+ because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
+ the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
+ the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
wide-character configuration to 32768.
- Add ncurses patch 20180120
+ build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence.
+ add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts.
+ modify ncurses-examples to install test-scripts in the data directory.
+ work around tool-breakage in Debian 9 and later by invoking
gprconfig to specify the C compiler to be used by gnatmake,
and conditionally suppressing Library_Options line for static
libraries.
+ bump the compat level for test-packages to 7, i.e., Debian 5.
- Add tack patch 1.08-20170818
* Tue Jan 09 2018 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20180106
+ fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin.

256-, etc., colors.
+ modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99
as possible default values.
+ modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
handling of the curses/ncurses library.
+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
configured to access it via weak symbols.
+ simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker
checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
behavior.
+ update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
+ modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE. The symbol is
needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
+ generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
(report by Jeffrey Walton).
* Mon Jan 08 2018 werner@suse.de

script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than
directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton).
+ set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in "*.map" files. While there are
some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are
anticipated.
+ add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename

avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent
if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder,
OpenSuSE #1070450).

function in link_test.c
+ updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.

linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
+ add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
* Mon Nov 27 2017 werner@suse.de

+ add configure check for default path of rgb.txt, used in picsmap.
+ modify _nc_write_entry() to truncate too-long filename (report by
Hosein Askari, Debian #882620).
+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses:
+ it lacks the use_env() function.
+ it lacks libpanel; a recent change used the wrong ifdef symbol.
+ add a macro for is_linetouched() and adjust the function's return
value to make it possible for most applications to check for an
error-return (report by Midolikawa H).

rather than the standard code (patch by Roman Kagan)
+ correct sgr/sgr0 strings in a few other cases reported by tic, making
those correspond to the non-sgr settings where they differ, but
otherwise use ECMA-48 consistently:
jaixterm, aixterm, att5420_2, att4424, att500, decansi, d410-7b,

- Add ncurses patch 20171007
+ modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
+ review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.

signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not.
+ modify bs.c to make it easier to quit.
+ change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open
documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different
values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned
short. Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the

name to "invalid" to avoid problems storing entries.
+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
+ add a check in comp_scan.c to handle the special case where a
nontext file ending with a NUL rather than newline is given to tic
as input (Redhat #1484274).

suffix, and finally in the data-directory, e.g.,
/usr/share/ncurses-examples
+ add "-l" option for logging
+ add "-d" option for debugging
+ add "-s" option for stepping automatically through list of images,
with time delay.
+ use tsearch to improve time for loading color table for images.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
* Mon Jul 31 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170729
+ update interix entry using tack and SFU on Windows 7 Ultimate -TD
+ use ^? for kdch1 in interix (reported by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard)
+ add "rep" to xterm-new, available since 1997/01/26 -TD
+ move SGR 24 and 27 from vte-2014 to vte-2012 (request by Alain
Williams) -TD
+ add a check in newline_forces_scroll() in case a program moves the
cursor outside scrolling margins (report by Robert King).
+ improve _nc_tparm_analyze, using that to extend the checks made by
tic for reporting inconsistencies between the expected number of
parameters for a capability and the actual.
+ amend handling of repeat_char capability in EmitRange (adapted from
report/patch by Dick Wesseling):
+ translate the character to the alternate character set when the
alternate character set is enabled.
+ do not use repeat_char for characters past 255.
+ document "_nc_free_tinfo" in manual page, because it could be used in
tack for memory-leak checking.
+ add "--without-tack" configure option to refine "--with-progs"
configure option. Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but
a few packagers combine it during the build. If term_entry.h is
installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds.
+ adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol
needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree. Rather than relying upon
internal "_nc_" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and
string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix
curses. It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the
extended capability arrays.
+ add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722
- Modify patch ncurses-5.7-tack.dif and ncurses-6.0.dif to get
position independent executables as well
* Mon Jul 24 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170722
+ improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian
+ modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where
the screen was never initialized, using that to trigger a flush of
ncurses' buffer for mvcur, e.g., in test/dots_mvcur.c for the
term-driver configuration.
+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to a few other internal header
files to allow each to be compiled separately.
+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to tic's header-files; any program
using tic-library will have to supply this file. Legacy tack
versions supply this file; ongoing tack development has dropped the
dependency upon tic-library and new releases will not be affected.
* Tue Jul 18 2017 werner@suse.de
- Fix build by removing workaround in patch ncurses-5.7-tack.dif
which was required since patch 20170415 but had become obsolete
with patch 20170715
* Mon Jul 17 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170715
+ modify command-line parameters for "convert" used in picsmap to work
with ImageMagick 6.8 and newer.
+ fix build-problem with tack and ABI-5 (Debian #868328).

- Add ncurses patch 20170701 (bsc#1046853, bsc#1046858)
+ modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment
variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an
application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux).
+ remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver
configuration; none is needed.
+ add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c
+ improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr,
fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did
not work (cf: 20160213).
+ the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently
reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer
reproducible. Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports
showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is
addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer.
+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
(Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691).
+ alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer.
+ parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as
one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not
treated as the 2-character termcap short-name.
+ fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq).
+ improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names.
+ fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu()
+ further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
(report by Allen Hewes).
* Sun Jun 25 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170624
+ modify c++/etip.h.in to accommodate deprecation of throw() and
throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler).
+ remove some incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
(report by Allen Hewes).
+ add test-programs for termattrs and term_attrs.
+ modify _nc_outc_wrapper to use the standard output if the screen was
not initialized, rather than returning an error.
+ improve checks for low-level terminfo functions when the terminal
has not been initialized (Redhat #1345963).
+ modify make_hash to allow building with address-sanitizer,
assuming that --disable-leaks is configured.
+ amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined
behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
* Wed Jun 21 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170617
+ fill in some places where TERMTYPE2 vs TERMTYPE was not used
(report by Allen Hewes).
+ use ExitTerminfo() internally in error-exits for ncurses' setupterm
to help with leak checking.
+ use ExitProgram() in error-exit from initscr() to help with leak
checking.
+ review test-programs, adding checks for cases where the terminal
cannot be initialized.
* Mon Jun 12 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170610
+ add option "-xp" to picsmap.c, to use init_extended_pair().
+ make simple performance fixes for picsmap.c
+ improve aspect ratio of images read from "convert" in picsmap.c
- Add ncurses patch 20170603
+ add option to picsmap to use color-palette files, e.g., for mapping
to xterm-256color.
+ move the data in SCREEN used for the alloc_pair() function to the
end, to restore compatibility between ncurses/ncursesw libtinfo
(report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ add build-time utility "report_offsets" to help show when the various
configurations of tinfo library are compatible or not.
- Remove patch ncurses-6.0-crashw.patch as a temporary as now part
of patch level 20170603
* Tue May 30 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add patch ncurses-6.0-crashw.patch as a temporary fix which will
become part of next patch level: solve binary incompatiblity of
libtinfow and libtinfo
* Mon May 29 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170527
+ improved test/picsmap.c:
+ lookup named colors for xpm files in rgb.txt
+ accept blanks in color-keys for xpm files.
+ if neither xbm/xpm work, try "convert", which may be available.
* Wed May 24 2017 werner@suse.de
- Fix ncursesw6-config and ncursesw5-config scripts to return -ltinfow
as well as the pkg-config files do
* Mon May 22 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170520

related files can be checked with lintian.
+ fix some typos in manpages (report/patch by Sven Joachim).
* Mon May 15 2017 werner@suse.de

The initial version reads X bitmap (".xbm") files.
+ repair logic which forces a repaint where a color-pair's content is
changed (cf: 20170311).
+ improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names.
* Fri May 12 2017 werner@suse.de
- Better screen support and workaround about missing terminfo entries
might be help on boo#812067 as well as on boo#935736 but may cause
boo#940459 (which should be fixed by screen its self!)
- New package terminfo-screen which includes some useful but troubling
terminfo database entries for screen.
* Wed May 10 2017 werner@suse.de
- Disable the usage of getttynam(3) as under Linux this is not used
* Tue May 09 2017 werner@suse.de

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
* Mon Apr 24 2017 werner@suse.de
- Also split libtic into normal and wide version libticw as those
libraries are linked with libtinfo respectively libtinfow
- The tack tool does require the old _nc_read_entry()
* Mon Apr 24 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170422
+ build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen).
+ improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics-
characters.
+ remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was
marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix
implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it.
On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature.
+ correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in
icl6402 and m2-nam -TD
+ restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc,
add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King).
+ amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus
a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number.
+ correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%".
+ modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c"
and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c',
avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap.
+ in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not
written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that.
+ in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check
when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control
characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable.
+ limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in
preference to "%02" on output.
+ correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and
"%3"; the result repeated the last character.
+ add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format.
- Add ncurses patch 20170415
+ modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from
help-screen used in test/edit_field.c

_nc_resolve_uses
+ fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025).
+ build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX.
+ minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation.
+ extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as
integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose.
+ more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.

+ add rmxx/smxx ECMA-48 strikeout extension to tmux and xterm-basic
(discussion with Nicholas Marriott)
+ add test-programs sp_tinfo and extended_color

calls to get original tty-modes.
+ modify set_curterm() to update ttytype[] data used by longname().
+ modify wattr_set() and wattr_get() to return ERR if win-parameter is
null, as documented.
+ improve cast used for null-pointer checks in header macros, to
reduce compiler warnings.
+ modify several functions, using the reserved "opts" parameter to pass
color- and pair-values larger than 16-bits:
+ getcchar(), setcchar(), slk_attr_set(), vid_puts(), wattr_get(),
wattr_set(), wchgat(), wcolor_set().
+ Other functions call these with the corresponding altered behavior,
including chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat(), slk_color_on(),
slk_color_off(), vid_attr().
+ add new functions for manipulating color- and pair-values larger
than 16-bits. These are extended_color_content(),
extended_pair_content(), extended_slk_color(), init_extended_color(),
init_extended_pair(), and the corresponding sp-funcs.
* Sun Mar 26 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170325

* Mon Mar 20 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170318
+ change TERMINAL structure in term.h to make it opaque. Some
applications misuse its members, e.g., directly modifying it
rather than using def_prog_mode().

- Add ncurses patch 20170218
+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
+ correct read of terminfo entry in which all strings are absent or
explicitly cancelled. Before this fix, the result was that all were
treated as only absent.
+ modify infocmp to suppress mixture of absent/cancelled capabilities
that would only show as "NULL, NULL", unless the -q option is used,
e.g., to show "-, @" or "@, -".

similar options for the other libraries.
* Mon Feb 06 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170204
+ trim newlines, tabs and escaped newlines from terminfo "paths" passed
to db-iterator.
+ ignore zero-length files in db-iterator; these are useful for
instance to suppress "$HOME/.terminfo" when not wanted.
+ amended "b64:" encoder to work with the terminfo reader.

provides an out-of-range pair number (report by Elijah Stone).
+ clarify description in tput manual page regarding support for
termcap names (prompted by FreeBSD #214709).
+ remove a restriction in tput's support for termcap names which
omitted capabilities normally not shown in termcap translations
(cf: 990123).
+ modify configure script for clang as used on FreeBSD, to work around
clang's differences in exit codes vs gcc.
* Thu Jan 19 2017 werner@suse.de
- Remove -L option on screen call dues API change, now we depend
on environment variables only.
* Mon Jan 16 2017 werner@suse.de

+ clarify in manual pages that the optional verbose option level is
available only when ncurses is configured for tracing.
+ amend change from 20161231 to avoid writing traces to the standard
error after initializing the trace feature using the environment
variable.
* Mon Jan 09 2017 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170107
+ amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
is run as "reset", like tset. Likewise, ensure that tset sends
either reset- or init-strings.
+ improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset,
to make it easier to see how they are similar and different.
+ move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals
+ modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl()
state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching
the behavior when using the term-driver configuration.
+ improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions
+ move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields,
and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib

between the reverse/normal escapes rather than after -TD
+ modify program tabs to pass the actual tty file descriptor to
setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work
consistently.
+ explain in clear's manual page that it writes to stdout.
+ add special case for verbose debugging traces of command-line
utilities which write to stderr (cf: 20161126).
+ remove a trace with literal escapes from skip_DECSCNM(), added in

+ add -r and -s options to tput-initc demo, to match usage in xterm.
+ flush the standard output in _nc_flush for the case where SP is zero,
e.g., when called via putp. This fixes a scenario where "tput flash"
did not work after changes in 20130112.
* Mon Dec 12 2016 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20161210
+ add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).
+ add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette
from a data file.
+ modify test/xterm*.dat to use the newer color4/color12 values.
* Mon Dec 05 2016 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20161203
+ improve discussion of field validation in form_driver.3x manual page.

ncv capability -TD
+ add 0.1sec mandatory delay to flash capabilities using the VT100
reverse-video control -TD
+ omit selection of ISO-8859-1 for G0 in enacs capability from linux2.6
entry, to avoid conflict with the user-defined mapping. The reset
feature will use ISO-8859-1 in any case (Mikulas Patocka).
+ improve check in tic for delays by also warning about beep/flash
when a delay is not embedded, or if those use the VT100 reverse
video escape without using a delay.
+ minor fix for syntax-check of delays from 20161119 changes.
+ modify trace() to avoid overwriting existing file (report by Maor
Shwartz).

of comments.
+ amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
leaving the residue in CC. That happens to work for gcc's various

character depend on the start of keypad and timeout modes, to allow
better testing of function-keys.
+ modify rs1 for xterm-16color, xterm-88color and xterm-256color to
reset palette using "oc" string as in linux -TD
+ use ANSI reply for u8 in xterm-new, to reflect vt220-style responses
that could be returned -TD

that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS
+ restore some -I options removed in 20140726 because they appeared

X/Open Curses.
- Add ncurses patch 20160326
+ regenerate HTML manpages.

O_MOUSE_MENU to tell the menu driver to put mouse events which do not
apply to the active menu back into the queue so that the application
can handle the event.
- Add ncurses patch 20160319
+ improve description of tgoto parameters (report by Steffen Nurpmeso).

that maps Unicode line-drawing characters into the acsc string for
non-Unicode locales (Debian #816888).

polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well
as responding to window size-changes.

+ amend fix for _nc_ripoffline from 20091031 to make test/ditto.c work
in threaded configuration.

as a whole rather than their multibyte equivalents.
+ minor fix in wadd_wchnstr() to ensure that each cell has nonzero
width.
+ move PUTC_INIT calls next to wcrtomb calls, to avoid carry-over of
error status when processing Unicode values which are not mapped.
* Fri Jan 08 2016 werner@suse.de

building with ncurses, that the cchar_t type is checked, since that
normally is since 20111030 ifdef'd depending on this test.
+ improve 20121222 workaround for broken acs, letting Solaris "work"
in spite of its m.isconfigured wcwidth which marks all of the line
drawing characters as double-width.
- Add ncurses patch 20151205
+ update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list
function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre).
+ minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use
rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are
listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item
listed in the NAME section. The latter is used to reduce clutter,
e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain
feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by
Jason McIntyre).
* Mon Nov 30 2015 werner@suse.de

* Tue Nov 10 2015 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20151107
+ modify tset's assignment to TERM in its output to reflect the name by
which the terminal description is found, rather than the primary
name. That was an unnecessary part from the initial conversion of
tset from termcap to terminfo. The termcap program in 4.3BSD did
this to avoid using the short 2-character name (report by Rich
Burridge).
+ minor fix to configure script to ensure that rules for resulting.map
are only generated when needed (cf: 20151101).
+ modify configure script to handle the case where tic-library is
renamed, but the --with-debug option is used by itself without
normal or shared libraries (prompted by comment in Debian #803482).
- Add ncurses patch 20151101
+ amend change for pkg-config which allows build of pc-files when no
valid pkg-config library directory was configured to suppress the
actual install if it is not overridden to a valid directory at

clang configuration on recent FreeBSD, which gives an error on an
empty "local" section.

to incorrect attribute-masking.
- Add ncurses patch 20151024
+ modify MKexpanded.c to update the expansion of a temporary filename
to "expanded.c", for use in trace statements.

annotation on the right margin; some terminals with partial support
did not display well.
+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim).
+ fix typo in INSTALL (patch by Tomas Cech).
+ improve configure check for setting WILDCARD_SYMS variable; on ppc64
the variable is in the Data section rather than Text (patch by Michel
Normand).
+ using configure option "--without-fallbacks" incorrectly caused
FALLBACK_LIST to be set to "no" (patch by Tomas Cech).
+ updated minitel entries to fix kel problem with emacs, and add
minitel1b-nb (Alexandre Montaron).
+ reviewed/updated nsterm entry Terminal.app in OSX -TD
+ replace some dead URLs in comments with equivalents from the
Internet Archive -TD

(WITH_OVERWRITE=$with_overwrite is in configure already twice anyway)
- drop ncurses-6.0-avoid-line-markers.dif as not needed
(see ncurses/base/MKlib_gen.sh 69-84)
* Mon Oct 12 2015 werner@suse.de

+ fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by
William Gallafent).

of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
+ add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
"-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.

+ improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the
curs_initscr.3x page.
+ modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size
of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions
in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by
Coverity).
+ modify test/configure script to check for pthreads configuration,
e.g., ncursestw library.
* Mon Jul 13 2015 werner@suse.de

versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
+ fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
* Mon Jul 06 2015 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20150606 pre-release

ncurses package scripts work when present for cross-compiling, as the
lessor of two evils (cf: 20150530).

+ modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as
the last "5.9" version, and regenerated the files. That makes the
files not use ".current" for the post-5.9 symbols. This also
corrects the label for _nc_sigprocmask used in when weak symbols are
configured for the ncursest/ncursestw libraries (prompted by
discussion with Sven Joachim).
+ fix typo in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
- Add ncurses patch 20150627
+ modify configure script to remove deprecated ABI 5 symbols when
building ABI 6.

databases were found, as documented for setupterm.
+ add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
setupterm and restartterm functions.
+ amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
Schindelin).
- Add ncurses patch 20150704
+ fix a few problems reported by Coverity.
+ fix comparison against "/usr/include" in misc/gen-pkgconfig.in
(report by Daiki Ueno, Debian #790548, cf: 20141213).

discussed only in the portability section (prompted by comment on
Stack Overflow forum):
* Mon May 11 2015 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20150509

+ fix an old bug in the termcap emulation; "%i" was ignored in tparm()
because the parameters to be incremented were already on the internal
stack (report by Corinna Vinschen).
+ modify tic's "-c" option to take into account the "-C" option to
activate additional checks which compare the results from running
tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap
expressions.
+ modify tic to allow it to read from FIFOs (report by Matthieu Fronton,
cf: 20120324).
> patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
+ explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
+ when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
instead of <>.
+ samples/ncurses2-util.adb: removed unused with clause. The warning
was removed by an obsolete pragma.
+ replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off). The latter,
available with older GNATs, needs no configure test. This also
replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.
+ simplified To_C usage in trace handling. Using two parameters allows
some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
compiler flags.
+ for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure
package.
+ removed C_Chtype and its conversions.
+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.
+ removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set.
+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.

was used in a case statement, values were tested by the Ada compiler
to be consecutive anyway.
+ src/Makefile.in: remove duplicate stanza
only consider using a project for shared libraries.

strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing
together initialization- or reset-strings. The problem dates to
1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for

non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
definable capabilities.
+ improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
followed by terminfo capabilities. Previously the description had to
be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
embedded in the description.

the --with-xterm-kbs option.
+ revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD

using -O3 (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20120324
+ amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
+ modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
a character device. Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20120317
+ correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications

reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
(cf:20111231)

caching improvements from 20111001 and 20111126.
* correct generation of pc-files when ticlib or termlib options are
given to rename the corresponding tic- or tinfo-libraries (report
by Sven Joachim).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111224
* document a portability issue with tput, i.e., that scripts which work
with ncurses may fail in other implementations that do no parameter
analysis.
* add putty-sco entry -TD
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111217
* review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
was not being used.
* add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
could use.
* fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
are all enabled. The terminal driver depends on a few features in
the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
and termlib.
* fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
enabled.
* use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111210
* modify configure script to check if thread library provides
pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6

for IRIX64, since its header files have a conflict versus
_SGI_SOURCE.
* modify configure script to add ".pc" files for tic- and
tinfo-libraries, which were omitted in recent change (cf: 20111126).
* fix inconsistent checks on $PKG_CONFIG variable in configure script.

- remove call to suse_update_config (very old work around)
* Mon Dec 05 2011 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111203
* modify configure-check for etip.h dependencies, supplying a temporary
copy of ncurses_dll.h since it is a generated file (prompted by
Debian #646977).
* modify CF_CPP_PARAM_INIT "main" function to work with current C++.
* Mon Nov 28 2011 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111126
* correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
(cf: 20111001).
* modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
absolute pathname.
* add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
use.
* improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
* modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).
* use AC_CHECK_TOOLS in preference to AC_PATH_PROGS when searching for
ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
from patch by Mike Frysinger).
* Thu Nov 24 2011 werner@suse.de
- Avoid linker script libterminfo.so as bash configure can not
handle this
* Thu Nov 24 2011 werner@suse.de
- Use linker scripts to amke sure that libtinfo will be found
even if -ltinfo is missed on the linker command line
* Tue Nov 22 2011 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111119
* remove obsolete/conflicting fallback definition for _POSIX_SOURCE
from curses.priv.h, fixing a regression with IRIX64 and Tru64
(cf: 20110416)
* modify _nc_tic_dir() to ensure that its return-value is nonnull,
i.e., the database iterator was not initialized. This case is needed
to when tic is translating to termcap, rather than loading the
database (cf: 20111001).
* Fri Nov 18 2011 werner@suse.de
- Update to tack 1.07-20110626
- Enlarge hash size for run time linker
- Enforce bind references to global function symbols to the
definition within libncurses and libtinfo
* Thu Nov 17 2011 werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111112
* add pccon entries for OpenBSD console (Alexei Malinin).
* build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 with gcc 4.2.1, setting _XOPEN_SOURCE to
600 to work around inconsistent ifdef'ing of wcstof between C and
C++ header files.

e.g., the "xterm-*" variants, to exclude from the conversion (patch
by Robert Millan).
* fix a typo misc/Makefile.in, used in uninstalling pc-files.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111030
* modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same
directory as an existing "terminfo" directory. This fixes a case
where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the
new hashed database to be installed in the next best location -
root's home directory.
* add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to
config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022).
* change feature test from _XPG5 to _XOPEN_SOURCE in two places, to
accommodate broken implementations for _XPG6.
* eliminate usage of NULL symbol from etip.h, to reduce header
interdependencies.
* add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to
compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403).
This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++
binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to
incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros
(report by Peter Kruse).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111022
* correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial
events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed
(cf: 20110917).
* fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when
gnat does not work.
* cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the
internal functions of libncurses. The external interface of courses
uses bool, which still produces these warnings.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111015
* improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).

of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111001
* modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
source-output. That allows the same flag to control the parser for
input and output of termcap source.
* modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
* restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
* modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
normally following in the source file. Also improved the warning
message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
* improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110925
* add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().

filesystem.
* updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
* modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
Alcock aka "Nix").
* build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (ch: 20110917).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110917
* fix compiler warning for clang 2.9
* improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien
Guibouret).
* correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
(patch by Damien Guibouret).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110910
* modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
(cf: 20110716).
* revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
cf: 20100102).
* add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
* add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over
the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use
the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W
Meunier).
* add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in
FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
* improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
is used.
* install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
- -with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110903
* propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report
by Tim van der Molen, cf: 20020713).
* fix typo in tset manpage (patch by Sven Joachim).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110820

not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177".
* minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD
* add terminator entry -TD
* add simpleterm entry -TD
* improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is
null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero
(cf: 20110528).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110813
* add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
* improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
* modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
guaranteed to be unique. Also ignore these aliases when reporting
the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
* double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
* minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
error-return.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110807

use a single line.
* add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110730
* modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
* add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
for termcap output.
* add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
"strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
features:
* allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
* disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
* expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
* modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
* fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
* fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
freed memory.
* add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be
positive.

the SetAttr() macro (patch by David Benjamin).
* add kich1 to sun terminfo entry (Yuri Pankov)
* use bold rather than reverse for smso in sun-color terminfo entry
(Yuri Pankov).
* improve generation of termcap using tic/infocmp -C option, e.g.,
to correspond with 4.2BSD (prompted by discussion with Yuri Pankov
regarding Schilling's test program):

is installed, e.g., for tack while the former is not (report by
Sven Joachim).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110625
* improve cleanup() function in lib_tstp.c, using _exit() rather than
exit() and checking for SIGTERM rather than SIGQUIT (prompted by
comments forwarded by Nicholas Marriott).

referred to quitting with 'q'.
* add special case to _nc_infotocap() to recognize the setaf/setab
strings from xterm+256color and xterm+88color, and provide a reduced
version which works with termcap.
* fix typo in rmso for tek4106 entry -Goran Weinholt
* repurpose "gnome" terminfo entries as "vte", retaining "gnome" items

since 2003 -TD
* correct parsing of relative tab-stops in tabs program (report by
Philip Ganchev).

window which is being used in a wgetch().
* simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
* modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
use SP internally.
* factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
* modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
screen which must be updated.
* wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and

- 'xterm' ist fuer XFree86 3.1.2G. Falls jemand noch ein altes XFree86
benutzen will, sollte man 'xterm-base' verwenden.
- Falls es Probleme gibt, kann man anstatt /lib/libncurses.so.1.9.9g
auch /lib/libncurses.so.1.9.9e verwenden. (g-Version einfach umbenennen
und ldconfig starten.) Dann sollte man aber keine Programme mehr
kompilieren...
