Changes through 1.9.9e are recorded by Zeyd M Ben-Halim. Changes since 1.9.9e are recorded by Thomas E Dickey. Contributors include those who have provided patches (even small ones), as well as those who provide useful information (bug reports, analyses). Changes with no cited author are the work of Thomas E Dickey (TD). A few contributors are given in this file by their initials. They each account for one percent or more of the changes since 1.9.9e. See the AUTHORS file for the corresponding full names. Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions; it is not possible to add this information. 20110404 5.9 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org 20110402 + various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts. + add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for the in-tree build of sample programs. + corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, needed for rpm script. + add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler options if building a shared library with gnat. 20110329 > portability fixes for Ada95 binding: + add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat. This is needed for the "rain" sample program. If SIGINT does not work, omit that sample program. + correct typo in check of $PKG_CONFIG variable in Ada95/configure + add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding which were added in 5.7 and later. + modify sed expression in CF_NCURSES_ADDON to eliminate a dependency upon GNU sed. 20110326 + add special check in Ada95/configure script for ncurses6 reentrant code. + regen Ada html documentation. + build-fix for Ada shared libraries versus the varargs workaround. + add rpm and dpkg scripts for Ada95 and test directories, for test builds. + update test/configure macros CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_X_ATHENA_LIBS. + add configure check to determine if gnat's project feature supports libraries, i.e., collections of .ali files. + make all dereferences in Ada95 samples explicit. + fix typo in comment in lib_add_wch.c (patch by Petr Pavlu). + add configure check for, ifdef's for math.h which is in a separate package on Solaris and potentially not installed (report by Petr Pavlu). > fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez): + improve type-checking in Ada95 by eliminating a few warning-suppress pragmas. + suppress unreferenced warnings. + make all dereferences in binding explicit. 20110319 + regen Ada html documentation. + change order of -I options from ncurses*-config script when the --disable-overwrite option was used, so that the subdirectory include is listed first. + modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file. + modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez). + modify configure script to add -g and/or -O3 to ADAFLAGS if the CFLAGS for the build has these options. + amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for thread in comp.lang.ada). + build-fix Ada95/samples for gnat 4.5 + spelling fixes for Ada95/samples/explain.txt > fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez): + add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS. + add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs. The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy(). + add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads + add Library_Options to library.gpr + add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild 20110307 + revert changes to limit-checks from 20110122 (Debian #616711). > minor type-cleanup of Ada95 binding (Nicolas

Joachim). + update doc/html/index.html to include NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html (report by Sven Joachim). 20101128 + modify test/configure and test/Makefile.in to handle this special case of building within a build-tree (Debian #34182): mkdir -p build && cd build && ../test/configure && make 20101127 + miscellaneous build-fixes for Ada95 and test-directories when built out-of-tree. + use VPATH in makefiles to simplify out-of-tree builds (Debian #34182). + fix typo in rmso for tek4106 entry -Goran Weinholt 20101120 + improve checks in test/configure for X libraries, from xterm #267 changes. + modify test/configure to allow it to use the build-tree's libraries e.g., when using that to configure the test-programs without the rpath feature (request by Sven Joachim). + repurpose "gnome" terminfo entries as "vte", retaining "gnome" items for compatibility, but generally deprecating those since the VTE library is what actually defines the behavior of "gnome", etc., since 2003 -TD

This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo "sgr" or "sgr0", originally from 990123 changes, but exposed by 20091114 fixes for hashing. With this change, only "dl" and "ed" are ambiguous (Mandriva #56272). 20091226 + add bterm terminfo entry, based on bogl 0.1.18 -TD + minor fix to rxvt+pcfkeys terminfo entry -TD + build-fixes for Ada95 tree for gnat 4.4 "style". 20091219 + remove old check in mvderwin() which prevented moving a derived window whose origin happened to coincide with its parent's origin (report by Katarina Machalkova). + improve test/ncurses.c to put mouse droppings in the proper window. + update minix terminfo entry -TD + add bw (auto-left-margin) to nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler) 20091212 + correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow field_buffer(), which stopped at the end of the first row due to filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls. + updated nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler, Emanuele Giaquinta) + modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to show wide-character nulls. + use strdup() in set_menu_mark(), restore .marklen struct member on failure. + eliminate clause 3 from the UCB copyrights in read_termcap.c and tset.c per ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change (patch by Nicholas Marriott). + replace a malloc in tic.c with strdup, checking for failure (patch by Nicholas Marriott). + update config.guess, config.sub from http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config 20091205 + correct layout of working window used to extract data in wide-character configured by set_field_buffer (patch by Rafael Garrido Fernandez) + improve some limit-checks related to filename length in reading and writing terminfo entries. + ensure that filename is always filled in when attempting to read a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch by Nicholas Marriott). 20091128 + modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver is enabled. + add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon this. 20091121 + fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson). + fix typo in man/curs_trace.3x which caused incorrect symbolic links + improved configure macros CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_PROG_LINT. 20091114 + updated man/curs_trace.3x + limit hashing for termcap-names to 2-characters (Ubuntu #481740). + change a variable name in lib_newwin.c to make it clearer which value is being freed on error (patch by Nicholas Marriott). 20091107 + improve test/ncurses.c color-cycling test by reusing attribute- and color-cycling logic from the video-attributes screen. + add ifdef'd with NCURSES_INTEROP_FUNCS experimental bindings in form library which help make it compatible with interop applications (patch by Juergen Pfeifer). + add configure option --enable-interop, for integrating changes for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer 20091031 + modify use of $CC environment variable which is defined by X/Open as a curses feature, to ignore it if it is not a single character (prompted by discussion with Benjamin C W Sittler). + add START_TRACE in slk_init + fix a regression in _nc_ripoffline which made test/ncurses.c not show soft-keys, broken in 20090927 merging. + change initialization of "hidden" flag for soft-keys from true to false, broken in 20090704 merging (Ubuntu #464274). + update nsterm entries (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler, prompted by discussion with Fabian Groffen in GenToo #206201). + add test/xterm-256color.dat 20091024 + quiet some pedantic gcc warnings. + modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application (patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD bin/136223). 20091017 + modify handling of $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to use only the first item in a possibly colon-separated list (Debian #550716). 20091010 + supply a null-terminator to buffer in _nc_viswibuf(). + fix a sign-extension bug in unget_wch() (report by Mike Gran). + minor fixes to error-returns in default function for tputs, as well as in lib_screen.c 20091003 + add WACS_xxx definitions to wide-character configuration for thick- and double-lines (discussion with Slava Zanko). + remove unnecessary kcan assignment to ^C from putty (Sven Joachim) + add ccc and initc capabilities to xterm-16color -TD > patch by Benjamin C W Sittler: + add linux-16color + correct initc capability of linux-c-nc end-of-range + similar change for dg+ccc and dgunix+ccc 20090927 + move leak-checking for comp_captab.c into _nc_leaks_tinfo() since that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo. + add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with terminal-driver. That is used in MinGW port, and (being somewhat more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional termlib internals. Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to be enabled. + completed integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer in ncurses library (some work remains for forms library). 20090919 + document return code from define_key (report by Mike Gran). + make some symbolic links in the terminfo directory-tree shorter (patch by Daniel Jacobowitz, forwarded by Sven Joachim).). + fix some groff warnings in terminfo.5, etc., from recent Debian changes. + change ncv and op capabilities in sun-color terminfo entry to match Sun's entry for this (report by Laszlo Peter). + improve interix smso terminfo capability by using reverse rather than bold (report by Kristof Zelechovski). 20090912 + add some test programs (and make these use the same special keys by sharing linedata.h functions): test/test_addstr.c test/test_addwstr.c test/test_addchstr.c test/test_add_wchstr.c + correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun). 20090906 + fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not work. + add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions. + add is_pad() and is_subwin() functions for opaque access to WINDOW (discussion with Mark Dickinson). + correct merge to lib_newterm.c, which broke when sp-funcs was enabled. 20090905 + build-fix for building outside source-tree (report by Sven Joachim). + fix Debian lintian warning for man/tabs.1 by making section number agree with file-suffix (report by Sven Joachim). + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete). 20090829 + workaround for bug in g++ 4.1-4.4 warnings for wattrset() macro on amd64 (Debian #542031). + fix typo in curs_mouse.3x (Debian #429198). 20090822 + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete). 20090815 + correct use of terminfo capabilities for initializing soft-keys, broken in 20090509 merging. + modify wgetch() to ensure it checks SIGWINCH when it gets an error in non-blocking mode (patch by Clemens Ladisch). + use PATH_SEPARATOR symbol when substituting into run_tic.sh, to help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX. + modify scripting for misc/run_tic.sh to test configure script's $cross_compiling variable directly rather than comparing host/build compiler names (prompted by comment in GenToo #249363). + fix configure script option --with-database, which was coded as an enable-type switch. + build-fixes for --srcdir (report by Frederic L W Meunier). 20090808 + separate _nc_find_entry() and _nc_find_type_entry() from implementation details of hash function. 20090803 + add tabs.1 to man/man_db.renames + modify lib_addch.c to compensate for removal of wide-character test from unctrl() in 20090704 (Debian #539735). 20090801 + improve discussion in INSTALL for use of system's tic/infocmp for cross-compiling and building fallbacks. + modify test/demo_termcap.c to correspond better to options in test/demo_terminfo.c + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete). + fix logic for 'V' in test/ncurses.c tests f/F. 20090728 + correct logic in tigetnum(), which caused tput program to treat all string capabilities as numeric (report by Rajeev V Pillai, cf: 20090711). 20090725 + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete). 20090718 + fix a null-pointer check in _nc_format_slks() in lib_slk.c, from 20070704 changes. + modify _nc_find_type_entry() to use hashing. + make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this would change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible. + modify test-programs, e.g,. test/view.c, to address subtle differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return values. + modify length returned by getcchar() to count the trailing null which is documented in X/Open (cf: 20020427). + fixes for test programs to build/work on HPUX and AIX, etc. 20090711 + improve performance of tigetstr, etc., by using hashing code from tic. + minor fixes for memory-leak checking. + add test/demo_terminfo, for comparison with demo_termcap 20090704 + remove wide-character checks from unctrl() (patch by Clemens Ladisch). + revise wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to eliminate dependency on unctrl(). + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete). 20090627 + update llib-lncurses[wt] to use sp-funcs. + various code-fixes to build/work with --disable-macros configure option. + add several new files from Juergen Pfeifer which will be used when integration of "sp-funcs" is complete.

Since the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped multicolumn character was written to the beginning of the current row (cf: 20041023, reported by "Nick" regarding problem with ncmpc http://musicpd.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1930). 20090110 + add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD + modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the adalib directory. + correct install for Ada95, which omitted libAdaCurses.a used in adacurses-config + change install for adacurses-config to provide additional flavors such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849). 20090105 + remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting prefix variable. + recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the --disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix (report by Frederic L W Meunier). 20090104 + modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into account. + fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk, used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack). 20090103 + add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen). + add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt). + use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add --includedir option. + change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar" options. + update config.guess, config.sub from http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config 20081227 + modify mk-1st.awk to work with extra categories for tinfo library. + modify configure script to allow building shared libraries with gcc on AIX 5 or 6 (adapted from patch by Lital Natan). 20081220 + modify to omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when --disable-ext-funcs is used. + add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw without wrapping. + modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines. + modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines. 20081213 + add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6 (GenToo #245370). + corrected --without-manpages option; previous change only suppressed the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man + add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from GenToo #250454). + fixes from NetBSD port at http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly) patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config). + improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the search-lists. + correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot, OpenBSD documentation/6019), 20081206 + move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc. + correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran). + add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue was xterm's alternate screen feature). + add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717, adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault). 20081129 + improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control character is found. The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not passing color or video attributes. + improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to display meta-characters. + turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h + add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD + correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test,

between string.h and dmalloc.h + fix build for --disable-sigwinch + add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc. + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm. + reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by Miroslav Lichvar). + fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib > patch by Juergen Pfeifer: + use improved initialization for soft-label keys in

availability of weak symbols. + modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes, etc. This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr Werner Fink). + add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink). + document (in

delscreen() and wide acs. 20080614 + modify test/ditto.c to illustrate multi-threaded use_screen(). + change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris. + add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report by Poor Yorick). 20080607 + finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr(). That allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a window which is being used in a wgetch(). + simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's. 20080531 + 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. + add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a particular SCREEN rather than the global SP. + add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a particular SCREEN rather than the global SP. + add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN. + add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer. 20080524 + 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 always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm(). + restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch Miroslav Lichvar) 20080517 + modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from the ncurses ABI 5. + corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with Emanuele Giaquinta). + fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar). 20080503 + modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD + modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the global SP. + simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and each_ripoff(). 20080426 + continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens. + fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran). 20080419 + add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD + modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings. + improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout. 20080412 + change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm. + add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their window parameters. + add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN pointer. + finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage. 20080405 + begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis. + add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on python-dev2 mailing list). 20080329 + add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen(). + move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which are not associated with a particular screen. + change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than stdscr to the callback function. + force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this, e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner). + override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner). + add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX thread library. 20080322 + fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch). + fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R Sedeno). + add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo wide-characters with extended-colors. + add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests. + modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen(). + finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads. 20080308 + start modifying test/rain.c for threading demo. + modify test/ncurses.c to make 'f' test accept the f/F/b/F/</> toggles that the 'F' accepts. + modify test/worm.c to show trail in reverse-video when other threads are working concurrently. + fix a deadlock from improper nesting of mutexes for windowlist and window. 20080301 + fixes from 20080223 resolved issue with mutexes; change to use recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from _nc_free_and_exit(). 20080223 + fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex lock/unlock when termlib was built separately. 20080216 + avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often is implemented to suspend the entire process. 20080209 + update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for comparisons. This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open curses that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping. None of the Unix-branded implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228). 20080203 + modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same for both narrow/wide models. It had been set only for wide model, but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model. + improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A Chernov). + modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint(). If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~" sequence. 20080126 + improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE handling).

Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the associated color overrides the field's background color (report by Ricardo Cantu). + improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc. + ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted. + add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built. + drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding no longer relies on it. + disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan). + remove tack from ncurses tree. 20070128 + fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option (report by Rong-En Fan). 20070127 + improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan). + update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after it is removed from the ncurses tree. + fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines (report by sci-fi@hush.ai). + review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making its license consistent with ncurses. + use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in the c++ binding for scanw() methods (prompted by report by Nuno Dias). + eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding. 20070120 + add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency. + fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines. + correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav Lichvar). 20070113 + add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak). + add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the ncurses build-tree. + add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar). 20070106 + change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o + change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o (patch by Miroslav Lichvar). 20061230 + modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines (report by sci-fi@hush.ai). + modify some modules to allow them to be reentrant if _REENTRANT is defined: lib_baudrate.c, resizeterm.c (local data only) + eliminate static data from some modules: add_tries.c, hardscroll.c, lib_ttyflags.c, lib_twait.c + improve manpage install to add aliases for the transformed program names, e.g., from --program-prefix. + used linklint to verify links in the HTML documentation, made fixes to manpages as needed. + fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine). + fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory. 20061223 + modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given. + modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs" + modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath. + update config.guess, config.sub 20061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org 20061217 + add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding definitions in <wchar.h>. + revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither correct nor portable. + add $(LOCAL_LIBS) definition to progs/Makefile.in, needed for rpath on Solaris. + ignore wide-acs line-drawing characters that wcwidth() claims are not one-column. This is a workaround for Solaris' broken locale support. 20061216 + modify configure --with-gpm option to allow it to accept a parameter, i.e., the name of the dynamic GPM library to load via dlopen() (requested by Bryan Henderson). + add configure option --with-valgrind, changes from vile. + modify configure script AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK checks to use 'return' in preference to 'exit()'. 20061209 + change default for --with-develop back to "no". + add XTABS to tracing of TTY bits. + updated autoconf patch to ifdef-out the misfeature which declares exit() for configure tests. This fixes a redefinition warning on Solaris. + use ${CC} rather than ${LD} in shared library rules for IRIX64, Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup). + rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish from the autoconf predefined symbol. There was no conflict, since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file, but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch. 20061202 + update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed database configuration. + updates for test/configure script. + adapted from SuSE rpm package: + remove long-obsolete workaround for broken-linker which declared cur_term in tic.c + improve error recovery in PUTC() macro when wcrtomb() does not return usable results for an 8-bit character. + patches from rpm package (SuSE): + use va_copy() in extra varargs manipulation for tracing version of printw, etc. + use a va_list rather than a null in _nc_freeall()'s call to _nc_printf_string(). + add some see-also references in manpages to show related wide-character functions (suggested by Claus Fischer). 20061125 + add a check in lib_color.c to ensure caller does not increase COLORS above max_colors, which is used as an array index (discussion with Simon Sasburg). + add ifdef's allowing ncurses to be built with tparm() using either varargs (the existing status), or using a fixed-parameter list (to match X/Open). 20061104 + fix redrawing of windows other than stdscr using wredrawln() by touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan Gookin). + add test/redraw.c + add test/echochar.c + review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196). 20061028 + add AUTHORS file -TD + omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall). + make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h 20061021 + revert change to accommodate bash 3.2, since that breaks other platforms, e.g., Solaris. + minor fixes to NEWS file to simplify scripting to obtain list of contributors. + improve some shared-library configure scripting for Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD to make "--with-shlib-version" work. + change configure-script rules for FreeBSD shared libraries to allow for rpath support in versions past 3. + use $(DESTDIR) in makefile rules for installing/uninstalling the package config script (reports/patches by Christian Wiese, Ralf S Engelschall). + fix a warning in the configure script for NetBSD 2.0, working around spurious blanks embedded in its ${MAKEFLAGS} symbol. + change test/Makefile to simplify installing test programs in a different directory when --enable-rpath is used. 20061014 + work around bug in bash 3.2 by adding extra quotes (Jim Gifford). + add/install a package config script, e.g., "ncurses5-config" or "ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options. 20061007 + add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors, and status line (Alain Bench). + change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed. Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared objects into the install directory. This makes the --with-rpath option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930). 20060930 + fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1 + test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this. + fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvments to "-f" option. + improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting. 20060923 + make --disable-largefile option work (report by Thomas M Ott). + updated html documentation. + add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension -TD + minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD 20060916 + move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct. + improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X (report by Michail Vidiassov). + modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix option (from lynx changes) -TD + adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT. + modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted by report by Christopher Parker). + update config.sub 20060909 + add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD + remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry, since it does not really do this -TD 20060903 + correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(), e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023) (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury). 20060902 + fix kterm's acsc string -TD + fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is embedded into a termcap description. + workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile when using --with-termlib --with-trace options. + improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla #202480)). + correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev) 20060826 + add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome terminal (mgt) -TD + add test/foldkeys.c 20060819 + modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo source output (Debian #378783). + modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS) variable is also used (Redhat Bugzilla #199369). + port hashed-db code to db2 and db3. + fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla #202480)). 20060805 + updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD + add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0, e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface). 20060729 + modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions, or as a text file if those are not available. + use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh. + modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp, can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled. 20060722 + widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm. + update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD + update config.guess, config.sub 20060715 + fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada). + correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine). + add test/chgat.c + modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William McBrine). + split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers). + suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits). + modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by Nigel Horne). + modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry. + improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar). 20060708 + add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916). + correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak checking of tic. 20060701 + revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view in color mode. + note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line parameters (prompted by Debian #371855). + fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure --disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf: 20060527) + update/correct several terminfo entries -TD + add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD 20060625 + fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0 + modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809). + reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975). + modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings. + improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566). + improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench). 20060617 + fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975). + add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package. + reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx symbols. + correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168). 20060603 + enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c + improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley). + minor copyright fixes. + change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file. 20060527 + add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek). + remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete. + add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly: getcurx(), getcury(), getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(), wgetbkgrnd(). + provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override a function to improve performance. Allowing a developer to suppress these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev). + improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage. 20060520 + if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin wrap to the next line. This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly for hpterm. + correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table. + minor fixes to memory-leak checking. + make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev). + move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw, making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev). 20060513 + improve debug-tracing for EmitRange(). + change default for --with-develop to "yes". Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features. + add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic, infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel. + update config.guess, config.sub + modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses (field_buffer returning null for a valid field). The 'r' test appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype() function is broken in that implementation. 20060506 + add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD + fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23 20060422 + add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated, data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David Taylor). + improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report by Bernd Rieke). + add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are reported to implement this feature -TD 20060416 + fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier). 20060415 + document -U option of tic and infocmp. + modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format. Also suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715). + add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are defined (report by Nicholas Cole) 20060408 + modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by Alain Bench). + another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench). 20060401 + improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages (report by Alain Bench). + use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was using is2 (report by Alain Bench). + correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain Bench). + move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz). + add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William McBrine). 20060318 + modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color and/or video attributes. + modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q'). 20060312 + fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311). 20060311 + add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov). + modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault). + add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin). + change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024). 20060225 + workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7. + fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench). + correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281). 20060218 + add nsterm-16color entry -TD + updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD + remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ). + modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys. + start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete). + add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h, for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine). + add help-message to test/movewindow.c 20060211 + add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin(). + fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately rather than delayed. + modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test screen. + fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional terminfo and termcap entrypoints. 20060204 + improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the vendor curses. + documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL. 20060128 + correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf: 20040516), which should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu). 20060121 + minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code: + suppress line-drawing + implement max_attributes tested with xterm. + minor fixes for the database iterator. + fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in Debian #348117). 20060114 + add toe -a option, to show all databases. This uses new private interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of databases. + fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at $HOME/.terminfo + make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage. + improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(), etc., when allocating screens. 20060111 + modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs. Use this in test/filter.c + fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications to fail. 20060107 + check if filter() was called when getting the screensize. Keep it at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498). + add extension nofilter(). + refined the workaround for ACS mapping. + make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the header file can be used for the normal curses library. The header file installed for extended colors is a variation of the wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier). 20051231 + add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with A_ALTCHARSET. This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann). + add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien). + improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine). + modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with PDCurses/X11. + modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses. Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions. But it's enough for comparison. + update config.guess and config.sub 20051224 + use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found". + make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols TGETENT_YES, etc. + remove references to non-existent "tctest" program. + remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code that was never built in that directory). + typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS). 20051217 + add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching feature. + fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger). + modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to bool. 20051210 + extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(), overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the effect of the different functions. + corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by Victor Julien). 20051203 + add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael Setzer). + fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes (Debian #341661). 20051126 + move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is included. + add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition. + change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the short equivalents. 20051119 + remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655). + use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis by Andrea Govoni). + remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro. + ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518). + fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm). 20051112 + other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD + correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin). 20051029 + add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD + modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian #316663). + modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into a derived window (Debian #316663). 20051022 + move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr() down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for terminals opened with newterm() as well. + fix a memory leak in keyname(). + add test/demo_altkeys.c + modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call. 20051015 + correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp). + suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not found. + correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz). + add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner). 20051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org 20051008 + document in demo_forms.c some portability issues. 20051001 + document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position. + save/restore the current position in form field editing to make overlay mode work. 20050924 + correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report by Daniel Jacobowitz). + modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz). + modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for NetBSD. + update config.guess and config.sub from http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/ 20050917 + modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected levels of the path (Gentoo #42336). + modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact on existing 64-bit builds. Enabling the _LP64 option may change the size of chtype and mmask_t. However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by default (report by Mike Frysinger). + add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by default if it is used. + improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the --with-abi-version option was used. + update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source. + correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of multi-column characters (cf: 20041023). 20050910 + modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only once. Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal handlers (Debian #326709). 20050903 + modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van Vugt). + remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481) 20050827 + document some workarounds for shared and libtool library configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool). + modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version message, e.g., arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1 (report by Frank van Vugt). 20050820 + start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release. + fix to make libtool and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122). + fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo + add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the lower corner of a terminal's screen. + update llib-l* files. 20050813 + modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++. + improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian #316663). 20050806 + fixes to build on QNX 6.1 + improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler. + remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete). + adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed. That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt). + move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by Konstantin Andreev). 20050723 + updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD + make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD + make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for several related cases -TD + improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with Thomas Klausner). + improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0 resets line-drawing. 20050716 + fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian #318621). + split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications. + modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming is done for Debian (Debian #78866). 20050702 + modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype). + modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined on Linux. + improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version. 20050625 + update config.guess and config.sub from http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/ + modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory. + suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling. This allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the "make install.data" step. + improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick). + improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL + add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/). + modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion with Daniel Jacobowitz). + modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h (report by Daniel Jacobowitz: + patches from Daniel Jacobowitz: + the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards. + tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's. + the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong. 20050619 + correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz). 20050618 + move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a review of Debian package). + revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609). + libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6, 1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++ install using libtool 1.5.0): + modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make program. + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830 + add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types. + revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz). 20050611 + change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore that, since on some platforms those are not pointers. + fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support. 20050604 + fixes for termcap support: + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215). + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that extended names data will be freed consistently. + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than its callers. + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined. + amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce). 20050528 + add sun-color terminfo entry -TD + correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes. + improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64 from vile -TD + minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the Ada95 tree. 20050515 + document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by Stanislav Ievlev). + regenerated html documentation for ada binding. see ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml 20050507 + regenerated html documentation for manpages. + add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772). + modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option (patch by Mike Frysinger). + modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to termcap format. Only two characters are permissible for termcap capability names. 20050430 + modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for shift-, control-cursor keys. + workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua). + modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k', it will automatically be treated as a key. + modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x". + add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the termcap interface. 20050423 + minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD + add configure option --enable-largefile + corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing gcc 4.0.0. 20050416 + update config.guess, config.sub + modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki). + modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable. The latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing characters. + modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters by combining them with a reverse-video blank. + review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings. 20050409 + correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to position the mouse to a particular item. + implement test/demo_menus.c + add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set. + modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure --enable-const option. 20050403 + modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory. + address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors. Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding. + improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc. + modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings. + modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms). 20050327 + amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a valid locale. + fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu). 20050326 + add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case anyone used that configuration. + update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail Vidiassov). + correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu). 20050320 + add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses' resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian #300419). + modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang WenRui, Debian #300512). 20050319 + modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling. + improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color configuration. 20050312 + change tracemunch to use strict checking. + modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad. + implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode. 20050305 + change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by Steve Beal). + modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr). + adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr). + update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes. 20050226 + improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., from lynx. + add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD + modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD + extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string (request by Thomas Wolff). Wolff says the visual effect in combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved. + fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field. + correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the right (cf: 20040228). + fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr). 20050219 + fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a nonwide character modified the previous wide-character. + update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2. + correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687). + add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was added (Debian #295083). + add traces to panel library. 20050212 + improve editing of wide-characters in form library: left/right cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly. + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with "xterm". Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with mouse events in this case. + modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev). 20050205 + add traces for callback functions in form library. + add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5. This works with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990). + improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin. 20050129 + merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly complete, does not appear to break other configurations). + add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing). + improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96. + modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have already been started. + modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(), pair_content() and color_content(). + modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair() if it corresponds to the default-color. + change internal representation of default-color to allow application to use color number 255. This does not affect the total number of color pairs which are allowed. + add a top-level tags rule. 20050122 + add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without first calling initscr(). + add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo. + modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used. + modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones that are curses-specific. + change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI. The reason for this is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by Stanislav Ievlev). 20050115 + minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++. + correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account for leading whitespace. + add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e., where a following line begins in column 1. + modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow. + improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song). 20050108 + merge some development changes to extend color capabilities. 20050101 + merge some development changes to extend color capabilities. + fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544). + update config.guess, config.sub > patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young): + improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf: 20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64. Tested for on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1, IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0. + print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option. + use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler. 20041225 + add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu libraries. + fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests. + fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218. 20041218 + revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set and attr_set functions. 20041211 + modify configure script to work with Intel compiler. + fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the forms-demo to be one character short. + fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich). + add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries. + update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song). 20041204 + replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is broken in glibc (see Debian #284260). + corrected length-computation in wide-character support for field_buffer(). + some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input. + modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler. 20041127 + amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value of cur_term if the same output was selected. This now reuses it only when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of separate SCREENs. Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr() or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat Bugzilla #140326). + add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre Campo). + improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE updates from lynx). + cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson). 20041120 + update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD + modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr(). + ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array which consists of multi-column characters, since this function constructs them (cf: 20041023). + modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the wide-character configuration. 20041106 + fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte or multicolumn characters. 20041030 + improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0. + modify assume_default_colors() to not require that use_default_colors() be called first. 20041023 + modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs(). + add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one multi-column character partly overwrites another. + improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character must be wrapped to a new line. + revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a problem with repainting. In the old scheme, it was possible for doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the attribute. 20041016 + minor fixes for traces. + add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing line-drawing characters is handled properly. For example, ACS_DARROW is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the same as ACS_BTEE. 20041009 + amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs and smacs strings as well. Also modify the check for screen's limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in and shift-out which seem to work. + change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically at runtime (Debian #110586). 20041002 + correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk). + add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the background color. 20040925 + fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted. + modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk). 20040918 + remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk). + correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk). + fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey). + change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it is no longer experimental. + change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa). 20040911 + add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions. 20040828 + modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry. + add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin). + correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g., using "tic -C" (Redhat Bugzilla #130921). + modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment). 20040821 + fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas). However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors(). + modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor visibility are reset in rs2 string: hurd, putty, gnome, konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, #55637). The xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and the new ones do not require this change. -TD 20040814 + fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators and window managers (Debian #265631). > terminfo updates -TD + remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently with the common usage of bce/ech + remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key) + add rxvt+pcfkeys 20040807 + modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and underline can be tested. This made the legend too crowded, added a help window as well. + modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if the -d option is set. + update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath). 20040731 + modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be displayed. + correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden, Chris Share). 20040724 + modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings. Also modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence. + corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat Bugzilla #122815, patch by Hans de Goede) > terminfo updates -TD + make ncsa-m rmacs/smacs consistent with sgr + add sgr, rc/sc and ech to syscons entries + add function-keys to decansi + add sgr to mterm-ansi + add sgr, civis, cnorm to emu + correct/simplify cup in addrinfo 20040717 > terminfo updates -TD + add xterm-pc-fkeys + review/update gnome and gnome-rh90 entries (prompted by Redhat Bugzilla #122815). + review/update konsole entries + add sgr, correct sgr0 for kterm and mlterm + correct tsl string in kterm 20040711 + add configure option --without-xterm-new 20040710 + add check in wget_wch() for printable bytes that are not part of a multibyte character. + modify wadd_wchnstr() to render text using window's background attributes. + improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0. + fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule. + modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908). + modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if converting termcap to termcap format. + add -U option to tic and infocmp. + add rmam/smam to linux terminfo entry (Trevor Van Bremen) > terminfo updates -TD + minor fixes for emu + add emu-220 + change wyse acsc strings to use 'i' map rather than 'I' + fixes for avatar0 + fixes for vp3a+ 20040703 + use tic -x to install terminfo database -TD + add -x to infocmp's usage message. + correct field used for comparing O_ROWMAJOR in set_menu_format() (report/patch by Tony Li). + fix a missing nul check in set_field_buffer() from 20040508 changes. > terminfo updates -TD + make xterm-xf86-v43 derived from xterm-xf86-v40 rather than xterm-basic -TD + align with xterm patch #192's use of xterm-new -TD + update xterm-new and xterm-8bit for cvvis/cnorm strings -TD + make xterm-new the default "xterm" entry -TD 20040626 + correct BUILD_CPPFLAGS substitution in ncurses/Makefile.in, to allow cross-compiling from a separate directory tree (report/patch by Dan Engel). + modify is_term_resized() to ensure that window sizes are nonzero, as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier). + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey). + configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS + update config.guess, config.sub > terminfo updates -TD + add mlterm + add xterm-xf86-v44 + modify xterm-new aka xterm-xfree86 to accommodate luit, which relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by Juliusz Chroboczek) + add 'hurd' entry 20040619 + reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error. + modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr(). 20040605 + add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it: demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c + correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report by Tony Li). + correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with define_key(). 20040529 + correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character field_buffer() results. + modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters. 20040522 + improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested by Arne Thomassen). + improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test. + change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to reach 1000 (cf: 20020928). 20040516 + modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers. + correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than one cell. 20040508 + replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character changes. + fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert). 20040501 + modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich). + add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F" comparisons. This modifies infocmp to only report extended capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent with tic. Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this information without an option. + modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic. 20040424 + minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes. 20040417 + modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only. + free some memory leaks in tic. + remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner). + remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows that extend beyond the screen. Solaris curses does this. + add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older curses. + add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog. 20040403 + modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond to an unsigned char. + add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin). 20040328 + fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change. 20040327 + modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's current locale rather than using getenv(). This fixes a case in tin which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen). + add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD. + add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr string. This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places. + correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before 20030802 (Debian #237629). 20040320 + modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879). 20040313 + fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report by Jim Idle). + remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses some apropos script (Debian #237831). 20040306 + modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text, set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing mode is shown in that test. + change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake. + correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419). 20040228 + modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a multibyte string. + split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it. X/Open states that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other insert-functions. Currently it does not wrap. + check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by Stanislav Ievlev). + split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first. + fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC, which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev). 20040221 + some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete (request by Mike Aubury). + add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of stdbool.h, e.g., #define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0 #include <curses.h> (discussion on XFree86 mailing list). 20040214 + modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets the name of the terminfo library. This would allow a packager to build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev). + improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew). + add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs). 20040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org + update TO-DO. 20040207 pre-release + minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param, and do not count %d if it follows a %p. + correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255 range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests. In POSIX locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former did. + modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix verified by Scott Corscadden). 20040131 pre-release + modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo (patch by Stanislav Ievlev). + document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage. + document special features of unctrl() in manpage. + documented interface changes in INSTALL. + corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale (Debian #230335, cf: 971206). + updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT. + fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package. + minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5. 20040125 pre-release + amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number of cells for a possibly multi-cell character. The 20030614 change forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not greater than zero. However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the range 128-255 can give this return value. The logic now simply ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without modifying the displayed value. 20040124 pre-release + looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above) + modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since that works better for cross-compiling. 20040117 pre-release + modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan). + add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d. + add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD + add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico Bianchi). + modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian #227586)). + correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)). + modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method. + remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h + make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev). + improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro. + add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young).. + add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).. + fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for HPUX .so/.sl case. + resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE. + make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler. + rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool. The intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213). 20040110 pre-release + change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4 + revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W Sittler). + simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev). + remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav Ievlev). + modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev). + move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev). 20040103 + adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD. + modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT. + add pecho_wchar(). + remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or available) on older platforms. 20031227 + add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1. + modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the soname information (request by Marc Glisse). + modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database. + modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm() rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf: 970719). + re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206). 20031220 + add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present. + remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to work with Tru64 4.0d. + add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing list). 20031213 + add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap continuation lines. ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap applications do not. + add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so" files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases. + add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607). + fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by Mike Castle). 20031206 + folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h, since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev). + remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>). + add test/background.c and test/color_set.c + modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>). + add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too awkward for some cases. + remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf: 20000101). + improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions, adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>). + small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc. + correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh (cf: 20031101). 20031129 + modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned values (Philippe Blain). + improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and restarting (Philippe Blain). + correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi <mooz@welho.com>). 20031122 + add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>). + allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this. + save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened, to avoid creating it in different directories if the application opens and closes it while changing its working directory. + modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for $BROKEN_LINKER 20031108 + add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially appearing in TERMCAP environment variable. + fix some spelling in comments (reports by Jason McIntyre, Jonathon Gray). + update config.guess, config.sub 20031101 + fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>). + use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles. + amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018). + modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger <ps.m@gmx.net>). + fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst). + modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>). 20031025 + update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD + add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic. + check for missing op/oc in tic. + correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and tic to show cancelled capabilities. These functions were ignoring the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled. + correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806). + add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael Bienia). + regenerated html documentation. + correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510). + remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request). 20031018 + updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830). + fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter- and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(), pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805). + minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP. + modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by Koblinger Egmont). 20031004 + add terminfo entries for DJGPP. + updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html 20030927 + update terminfo entries for gnome terminal. + modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode. + improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black on white. + plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait() (report by Philippe Blain). 20030920 + add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the --with-shared option. The Darwin ld program does not work well with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki). + modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling. + modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data. > patch by Philippe Blain: + improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the range. + improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the change is found. + improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison in the clr_bol logic. 20030913 > patch by Philippe Blain: + in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c, move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used. Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message. + in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c, Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of putchar() which goes to stdout. Move test for xold>0 out of loop. + in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c, Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been successful (typeMalloc can fail). + simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf(). 20030906 + modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set. + modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when cross-compiling (Dan Kegel). 20030830 + alter configure script help message to make it clearer that --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan Kegel <dank@kegel.com>). + modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki). We note that libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option --with-install-prefix is used. 20030823 > patch by Philippe Blain: + move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur(). + make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits. 20030816 + modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5 whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g., a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621). + improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain). > patch by Philippe Blain: + remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR + correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost 20030809 + fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype(). + close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter. + free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen(). + fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code. + correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format happens to be an empty string. This applies to the "configure --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486). 20030802 + modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by Daniel Jacobowitz). > patch by Philippe Blain: + change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to the size of the scroll-region. + correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat(). 20030726 + correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020). + re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with _GNU_SOURCE check. 20030719 + use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm (request by Vincent Lefevre). + correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage. + add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles Wilson). > cygwin changes from Charles Wilson: + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL. + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current status of cygwin/mingw port. Fix compiler warning. + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable. + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo usage and to prevent circular links. (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org. (rxvt-color): new alias (rxvt-xpm): new alias (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes. (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto. rxvt may be run under XWindows, or with a "native" MSWin GUI. Each takes different acsc codes, which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc. (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window. Lots of fixes. (cygwinDBG): ditto. + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import and static libs. 20030712 + update config.guess, config.sub + add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>). 20030705 + modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++. Some platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which would not accept gcc warning options. + add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement). + add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls. + correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from 20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota). + work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by Gabor Z Papp). + add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957). 20030628 + rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar() respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data. Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch(). + remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character strings into wide-characters. Rewrite of waddch_literal() from 20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota). 20030621 + write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(), getcurx(), etc. + modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a multibyte character directly to waddch(). In this case, waddch() must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro Kubota <kubota@debian.org>). 20030614 + modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than two cells. + modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that are used in multibyte values. This fixes a problem displaying double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>). + add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar() + modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug. 20030607 + add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display properly in a UTF-8 locale. + add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted by discussion with Gabor Z Papp). + use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732). + fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki <beren@mac.com>). + simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young). + remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young). 20030531 + regenerated html manpages. + modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__() for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses (Debian #195230). + modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry name. + fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3. + add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames. 20030524 + modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>). + add tkterm entry -TD + modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading 2-character name (report by Don Libes). + corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping. + fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than tell(). + fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give these warnings, but it is unpredictable). + modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that feature is broken. + modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since they return function pointers: field_init, field_term, form_init, form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term. 20030517 + prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>). + change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted by Debian #192860). + add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the current test programs. + corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it. + corrections to lib_get_wstr.c: + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally failed. + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not mentioned in the terminfo. + modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221). 20030510 + make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>). + correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge). + correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>). + fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by Jason McIntyre <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>). 20030503 + fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR, REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at the editing position before making modifications. + add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos. + modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects to compile rather than using the list of programs. 20030419 + modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is defined, noting that Solaris does this. + modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since 20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc string. + modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>). + modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the terminfo as is done in "screen". 20030412 + add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c + fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset() code, from recent rewrite. + modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(), as in 'e' test. + modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to ensure that the whole struct is initialized. 20030405 + modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have already been read. This ensures that it does not reinvoke def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function, such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen). 20030329 + add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset(). + correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of slk_wset(). + first draft of slk_wset() function. 20030322 + improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's 1023-byte limit. + built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library calls. + adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>). 20030315 + minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to a file when ^W is given. + add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in trace code. 20030308 + correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan). + add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>). + correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table, i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok(). + modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check for errors. 20030301 + restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw. + add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>). 20030222 + corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc. + if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the baudrate was not known. + in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind. + modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a corresponding capability might be title=\E]2;%p1%s^G, + modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C preprocessor. This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>). 20030215 + add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely on preprocessor definitions. Also work around for gcc fixinclude bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols apparently typedef'd. + if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh + minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read. 20030208 + add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping. + updated configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL, which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>). + make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent. Before, depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be cached for reallocating. 20030201 + minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c + correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald <wr6@uni.de>). + correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf 2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>). + do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty; the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>). 20030125 + modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added emx-base to the latter -TD + add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c 20030118 + revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with attributes, e.g., reverse. + improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen). 20030111 + improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo() function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain). + add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John Polterak). + change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE (basic regular expression). One instance caused terminfo.5 to be misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)). + correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins). 20030105 + improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>). + demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a specialized type for the middle initial/name. + fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature of sed 4.0 > patch by Philippe Blain: + optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter is indeed a "blank". + simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear sections as small as one line. + improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying to use it. + use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region. 20021231 + rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying. 20021228 + change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp() (report by Philippe Blain). + modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>). + rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8 locale. + correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>). > patch by Philippe Blain: + correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708). + correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln(). 20021221 + change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by Philippe Blain). + use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John Polterak). + implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13). This only works with the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen. 20021214 + allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be overridden from the environment. + make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki). + modify ncurses/modules to allow configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs to build (report by Gary Samuelson). + fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>). + correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report by Sam Varshavchik). + small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which gnatmake adds to its version-message. > Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>: + use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross compiling. + use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform. + change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host" when referring to the --with-build-XXX options. 20021206 + modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard <chris@stockwith.co.uk>). + modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in tset to use the system's default values if they are defined. + correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583). + repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf 2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs). + update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30) + modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway. + fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build. + modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help with bug reports. libtool still gets confused if the installed ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3). + reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by Patrick Ash and George Goffe). + rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool. 20021123 + add example program test/define_key.c for define_key(). + add example program test/keyok.c for keyok(). + add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr(). + modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the winsch() internal function. + modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have more than one spacing character. 20021116 + fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain). + change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>, but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision). + add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD + add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD + add mterm terminfo entries -TD 20021109 + split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and vt220+keypad. The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>). + add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout. + improve checks in tic for color capabilities 20021102 + check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry() (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string). + rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe Blain). + remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature. The #undef confuses dpkg's build script (Debian #165897). + fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>). 20021026 + implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002 or 1003. These are returned to the application as the REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented. Tested both with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel <Larry@Riedel.org>). + modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse mode. In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes 1002 and 1003. If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000. + correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain). + correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>). + add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin). 20021019 + remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain). + add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch(). + replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX. + update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier). + remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by Frederic L W Meunier). 20021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org + modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>). + add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(), by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling the debug trace in that case. + modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman). + modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate the two. + document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath). 20021005 pre-release + correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia <michael@vorlon.ping.de>). + modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb(). + correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for formats such as "%.*s". + correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries (report Floyd Davidson). + change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for consistency. + correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>). 20020928 pre-release + modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A Chernov). + modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson). + restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh() (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>). + improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls to returnBool() and returnAttr(). + add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used. + add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned(). + correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype(). + add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c + modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters. + correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++ demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629). + correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for the attributes (broken in 20010602). + modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc. 20020921 pre-release + redid fix for edit_man.sed path. + workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout result in core dump. + documented getbegx(), etc. + minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed delimiter rather than '@'. > patch by Philippe Blain: + add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched to the lines given for the destination window. 20020914 pre-release + modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h, then applications that use that header for wide-character support must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H. + modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on pads (request by Philippe Blain). + correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>). > patch by Philippe Blain: + corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases. + use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype). + remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver. 20020907 pre-release + change configure script to allow install of widec-character (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the latter is a compatible subset of the former. + fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate html manpages on Debian. + fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris. + update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf. + change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net > patch by Philippe Blain: + change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops a variable from the stack. + correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid confusion. + modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space(). + modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and _idcok window fields. + better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc(). 20020901 pre-release + change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3 + update config.guess, config.sub + retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes. + make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to match XSI. + modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale. + add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc string. This happens in configurations where raw termcap information is processed; tic already does this and other checks. + modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes. + moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow use in resizeterm(). + add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ). + amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys, otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly. > patch by Philippe Blain: + removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm(). + check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm(). + use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype). + prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad. + prevent putwin() from writing a pad. + use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on _nc_doalloc(). 20020824 + add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>). + fix an overlooked case for bugzilla #68199 (Philippe Blain). + ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain). 20020817 + modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore() modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables. Fixes Redhat bugzilla #68199 dated 2002-07-07. + add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on FreeBSD bug report. If ncurses were built with termcap support, and the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would be a null pointer, which was not handled properly. + correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon rather than comma. + remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still unsatisfactory. 20020810 + add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out when translating to termcap. + add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses. + modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple tc clauses. + correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by Philippe Blain). + remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by Philippe Blain). + document TABSIZE variable. + add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in assume_default_colors(). + correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG logic. + correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>). + modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized window (completes Debian #87678, #101699) 20020803 + fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by Philippe Blain). + revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by Philippe Blain) + remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>). 20020727 + finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes to resizeterm(). + simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen(). 20020720 + check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain). + regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address problem with identifying C++ bool type. + correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput, which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>). + modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated configure definitions. + remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement, fix suggested by Philippe Blain). + update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible. + correct several prototypes in manpages which used const inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>). + change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model. + modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing. 20020713 + add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program. + altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent. (More work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate). + improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c + remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted filesystems. + modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g., t/T commands to enable/disable tracing. + updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO. + update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer). 20020706 + add Caps.hpux11, as an example. + modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to the Caps file. + reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain). + add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc. 20020629 + correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406). + set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the only ones). + add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>). + correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe Blain). + modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when in UTF-8 locale. Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while narrow-character functions use the terminfo data. + fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with gnat 3.14 + modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent. + fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if they were set before). Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to match. 20020622 + add charset to generated html. + add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD + add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD + modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the INSTALL notes. 20020615 + modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function key code in get_wch(). + extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire stack of windows created with 'w' commands. + improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively. + correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it to the experimental section (cf: 20011208). 20020601 + add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps. This makes hds200 fit. + more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore differences between delay values in sgr strings. + move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition. 20020525 + add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu. + fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values. + make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow. + correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp. + improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD + add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD + add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD + add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing. 20020523 + correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported by Mike Castle). 20020518 + fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>) + modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version" option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information. + adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>). 20020511 + implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow- character versions as well. + implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and killchar(). + modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was VDISABLE. + correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck <scott@gossamer-threads.com>). + improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often if gettimeofday() is available. 20020429 + workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>). 20020427 + correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with Solaris and Tru64. + reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs subsets so configure --with-termlib works again. This was broken by logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com). + update config.guess, config.sub 20020421 + modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS. + modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition. + amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an alias for 'function'. 20020420 + correct form of prototype for ripoffline(). + modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented can be linked. 20020413 + add manpages: curs_get_wstr.3x, curs_in_wchstr.3x + implement wgetn_wstr(). + implement win_wchnstr(). + remove redefinition of unget_wch() in lib_gen.c (reported by Jungshik Shin <jshin@jtan.com>). 20020406 + modified several of the test programs to allow them to compile with vendor curses implementations, e.g., Solaris, AIX -TD 20020323 + modified test/configure to allow configuring against ncursesw. + change WACS_xxx definition to use address, to work like Tru64 curses. 20020317 + add 'e' and 'm' toggles to 'a', 'A' tests in ncurses.c to demonstrate effect of echo/noecho and meta modes. + add 'A' test to ncurses.c to demonstrate wget_wch() and related functions. + add manpage: curs_get_wch.3x + implement unget_wch(). + implement wget_wch(). 20020310 + regenerated html manpages. + add manpages: curs_in_wch.3x, curs_ins_wch.3x, curs_ins_wstr.3x + implement wins_wch(). + implement win_wch(). + implement wins_nwstr(), wins_wstr(). 20020309 + add manpages: curs_addwstr.3x, curs_winwstr.3x + implement winnwstr(), winwstr(). 20020223 + add manpages: curs_add_wchstr.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x + document wunctrl, key_name. + implement key_name(). + remove const's in lib_box.c incorrectly leftover after splitting off lib_box_set.c + update llib-lncurses, llib-ncursesw, fix configure script related to these. 20020218 + remove quotes on "SYNOPSIS" in man/curs_box_set.3x, which resulted in spurious symlinks on install. 20020216 + implement whline_set(), wvline_set(), add manpage curs_border_set. + add subtest 'b' to 'F' and 'f' in ncurses.c to demonstrate use of box() and box_set() functions. + add subtest 'u' to 'F' in ncurses.c, to demonstrate use of addstr() given UTF-8 string equivalents of WACS_xxx symbols. + minor fixes to several manpages based on groff -ww output. + add descriptions of external variables of termcap interface to the manpage (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>). > patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer: + correct configure option --with-bool, which was executed as --with-ospeed. + add quotes for parameters of --with-bool and --with-ospeed configure options. > patch by Sven Verdoolaege (report by Gerhard Haering <haering_linux@gmx.de>): + correct typos in definitions of several wide-character macros: waddwstr, wgetbkgrnd, mvaddwstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwaddwstr. + pass $(CPPFLAGS) to MKlib_gen.sh, thereby fixing a missing definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, e.g., on Solaris 20020209 + implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales. When in UTF-8 locale, ignore narrow version of acs. Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c to demonstrate. + correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing list item). 20020202 + add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the format. + implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with Albert Chin-A-Young). + modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young). + add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes Debian #131263, cf: 20011215). + add entrypoints to resizeterm.c which provide better control over the process: is_term_resized() and resize_term(). The latter restores the original design of resizeterm() before KEY_RESIZE was added in 970906. Do this to accommodate 20010922 changes to view.c, but allow for programs with their own sigwinch handler, such as lynx (reported by Russell Ruby <russ@math.orst.edu>). 20020127 + fix a typo in change to mk-1st.awk, which broke the shared-library makefile rules (reported by Martin Mokrejs). 20020126 + update config.guess, config.sub + finish changes needed to build dll's on cygwin. + fix a typo in mvwchat() macro (reported by Cy <yam@homerow.net). 20020119 + add case in lib_baudrate.c for B921600 (patch by Andrey A Chernov). + correct missing sed-editing stage in manpage installs which is used to rename manpages, broken in 20010324 fix for Debian #89939 (Debian #78866). + remove -L$(libdir) from linker flags, probably not needed any more since HPUX is handled properly (reported by Niibe Yutaka <gniibe@m17n.org>). + add configure check for mbstate_t, needed for wide-character configuration. On some platforms we must include <wchar.h> to define this (reported by Daniel Jacobowitz). + incorporate some of the changes needed to build dll's on cygwin. 20020112a + workaround for awk did not work with mawk, adjusted shell script. 20020112 + add Caps.osf1r5, as an example. + modify behavior of can_clear_with() so that if an application is running in a non-bce terminals with default colors enabled, it returns true, allowing the user to select/paste text without picking up extraneous trailing blanks (adapted from patch by Daniel Jacobowitz <dmj+@andrew.cmu.edu>). + modify generated curses.h to ifdef-out prototypes for extensions if they are disabled, and to define curses_version() as a string in that case. This is needed to make the programs such as tic build in that configuration. + modified generated headers.sh to remove a gzip'd version of the target file if it exists, in case non-gzip'd manpages are installed into a directory where gzip'd ones exist. In that case, the latter would be found. + corrected a redundant initialization of signal handlers from 20010922 changes. + clarified bug-reporting address in terminfo.src (report by John H DuBois III <spcecdt@armory.com>). > several fixes from Robert Joop: + do not use "-v" option of awk in MKkey_defs.sh because it does not work with SunOS nawk. + modify definitions for libutf8 in curses.h to avoid redefinition warnings for mblen + quoted references to compiler in shell command in misc/Makefile, in case it uses multiple tokens. 20011229 + restore special case from 20010922 changes to omit SA_RESTART when setting up SIGWINCH handler, which is needed to allow wgetch() to be interrupted by that signal. + updated configure macro CF_WITH_PATHLIST, to omit some double quotes not needed with autoconf 2.52 + revert configure script to autoconf 2.13 patched with autoconf-2.13-19990117.patch.gz (or later) from ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/ because autoconf 2.52 macro AC_PROG_AWK does not work on HPUX 11.0 (report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>). This also fixes a different problem configuring with Mac OS X (reported by Marc Smith <marc.a.smith@home.com>). 20011222 + modify include/edit_cfg.h to eliminate BROKEN_LINKER symbol from term.h + move prototype for _nc_vsscanf() into curses.h.in to omit HAVE_VSSCANF symbol from curses.h, which was dependent upon the ncurses_cfg.h file which is not installed. + use ACS_LEN rather than SIZEOF(acs_map) in trace code of lib_acs.c, to work with broken linker configuration, e.g., cygwin (report by Robert Joop <rj@rainbow.in-berlin.de>). + make napms() call _nc_timed_wait() rather than poll() or select(), to work around broken implementations of these on cygwin. 20011218 + drop configure macro CF_WIDEC_SHIFT, since that was rendered obsolete by Sven Verdoolaege's rewrite of wide-character support. This makes libncursesw incompatible again, but makes the header files almost the same as in the narrow-character configuration. + simplify definitions that combine wide/narrow versions of bkgd, etc., to eliminate differences between the wide/narrow versions of curses.h + correct typo in configure macro CF_FUNC_VSSCANF + correct location of call to _nc_keypad() from 20011215 changes which prevented keypad() from being disabled (reported by Lars Hecking). 20011215 + rewrote ncurses 'a' test to exercise wgetch() and keypad() functions better, e.g., by adding a 'w' command to create new windows which may have different keypad() settings. + corrected logic of keypad() by adding internal screen state to track whether the terminal's keypad-mode has been set. Use this in wgetch() to update the keypad-mode according to whether the associated window's keypad-mode has been set with keypad(). This corrects a related problem restoring terminal state after handling SIGTSTP (reported by Mike Castle). + regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52 autoconf-2.52-patch.gz at ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/ + update config.guess, config.sub from http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/ + minor changes to quoting in configure script to allow it to work with autoconf 2.52 20011208 + modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making them independent. + modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect implementation in cygwin package). + correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package for ncurses). + modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>). + add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not, force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> indicates that Solaris 8 with 64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields). + modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found in the C++ runtime. + modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the convention used on OS X and Darwin. Rather than something like libncurses.dylib.5.2, Darwin would name it libncurses. 5.dylib. There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans <jevans@apple.com>). + use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <jp@eyup.org>). + correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548). + replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and AmigaOS. 20011201 + modify script that generates fallbacks.c to compile a temporary copy of the terminfo source in case the host does not contain all of the entries requested for fallbacks (request by Greg Roelofs). + modify configure script to accommodate systems such as Mac OS X whose <stdbool.h> header defines a 'bool' type inconsistent with ncurses, which normally makes 'bool' consistent with C++. Include <stdbool.h> from curses.h to force consistent usage, define a new type NCURSES_BOOL and related that to the exported 'bool' as either a typedef or definition, according to whether <stdbool.h> is present (based on a bug report for tin 1.5.9 by Aaron Adams <adamsa@mac.com>). 20011124 + added/updated terminfo entries for M$ telnet and KDE konsole -TD 20011117 + updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler). + add putty terminfo entry -TD + if configuring for wide-curses, define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, since this may not otherwise be defined to make test/view.c compile. 20011110 + review/correct several missing/generated items in curses.wide, sorted the lists to make subsequent diff's easier to track. 20011103 + add manual pages for add_wch(), echo_wchar(), getcchar(), mvadd_wch(), mvwadd_wch(), setcchar(), wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar(). + implement wecho_wchar() + modify _tracedump() to handle wide-characters by mapping them to '?' and control-characters to '.', to make the trace file readable. Also dynamically allocate the buffer used by _tracedump() for formatting the results. + modify T_CALLED/T_RETURN macros to ease balancing call/return lines in a trace by using curly braces. + implement _nc_viscbuf(), for tracing cchar_t arrays. + correct trace-calls in setcchar() and getcchar() functions, which traced the return values but not the entry to each function. + correct usage message in test/view.c, which still mentioned -u flag. 20011027 + modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with fallbacks only. In this case, we do not build tic and toe. + add configure --with-termpath option, to override default TERMPATH value of /etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap. + cosmetic change to tack: make menu descriptions agree with menu titles. 20011020 + rewrote limit-checks in wscrl() and associated _nc_scroll_window(), to ensure that if the parameter of wscrl() is larger than the size of the scrolling region, then the scrolling region will be cleared (report by Ben Kohlen <bckohlen@yahoo.com>). + add trace/varargs.c, using this to trace parameters in lib_printw.c + implement _tracecchar_t2() and _tracecchar_t(). + split-out trace/visbuf.c + correct typo in lib_printw.c changes from 20010922 (report by Mike Castle). 20011013 + modify run_tic.sh to check if the build is a cross-compile. In that case, do not use the build's tic to install the terminfo database (report by Rafael Rodriguez Velilla <rrv@tid.es>). + modify mouse click resolution so that mouseinterval(-1) will disable it, e.g., to handle touchscreens via a slow connection (request by Byron Stanoszek <gandalf@winds.org>). + correct mouseinterval() default value shown in curs_mouse.3x + remove conflicting definition of mouse_trafo() (reported by Lars Hecking, using gcc 2.95.3). 20011001 + simpler fix for signal_name(), to replace the one overlooked in 20010929 (reported by Larry Virden). 20010929 + add -i option to view.c, to test ncurses' check for non-default signal handler for SIGINT, etc. + add cases for shared-libraries on Darwin/OS X (patch by Rob Braun <bbraun@synack.net>). + modify tset to restore original I/O modes if an error is encountered. Also modify to use buffered stderr consistently rather than mixing with write(). + change signal_name() function to use if-then-else rather than case statement, since signal-values aren't really integers (reported by Larry Virden). + add limit checks in wredrawln(), fixing a problem where lynx was repainting a pad which was much larger than the screen. 20010922 + fix: PutRange() was counting the second part of a wide character as part of a run, resulting in a cursor position that was one too far (patch by Sven Verdoolaege). + modify resizeterm() to not queue a KEY_RESIZE if there was no SIGWINCH, thereby separating the two styles of SIGWINCH handling in test/view.c + simplified lib_tstp.c, modify it to use SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH. + eliminate several static buffers in the terminfo compiler, using allocated buffers. + modify MKkeyname.awk so that keyname() does not store its result into a static buffer that is overwritten by the next call. + reorganize the output of infocmp -E and -e options to compile cleanly with gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings. + remove redefinition of chgat/wchgat/mvwchgat from curses.wide 20010915 + add label to test/view.c, showing the name of the last key or signal that made the screen repaint, to make it clearer when a sigwinch does this. + use ExitProgram() consistently in the test-programs to make it simpler to test leaks with dmalloc, etc. + move hashtab static data out of hashmap.c into SCREEN struct. + make NO_LEAK code compile with revised WINDOWLIST structs. 20010908 + modify tgetent() to check if exit_attribute_mode resets the alternate character set, and if so, attempt to adjust the copy of the termcap "me" string which it will return to eliminate that part. In particular, 'screen' would lose track of line-drawing characters (report by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>, analysis by Michael Schroeder). 20010901 + specify DOCTYPE in html manpages. + add missing macros for several "generated" functions: attr_get(), attr_off(), attr_on(), attr_set(), chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat() and mouse_trafo(). + modify view.c to agree with non-experimental status of ncurses' sigwinch handler: + change the sense of the -r option, making it default to ncurses' sigwinch handler. + add a note explaining what functions are unsafe in a signal handler. + add a -c option, to set color display, for testing. + unset $data variable in MKterminfo.sh script, to address potential infinite loop if shell malfunction (report by Samuel Mikes <smikes@cubane.com>, for bash 2.05.0 on a Linux 2.0.36 system). + change kbs in mach terminfo entries to ^? (Marcus Brinkmann <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>). + correct logic for COLORFGBG environment variable: if rxvt is compiled with xpm support, the variable has three fields, making it slightly incompatible with itself. In either case, the background color is the last field. 20010825 + move calls to def_shell_mode() and def_prog_mode() before loop with callbacks in lib_set_term.c, since the c++ demo otherwise initialized the tty modes before saving them (patch by John David Anglin <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>). + duplicate logic used to initialize trace in newterm(), in initscr() to avoid confusing trace of initscr(). + simplify allocation of WINDOW and WINDOWLIST structs by making the first a part of the second rather than storing a pointer. This saves a call to malloc for each window (discussion with Philippe Blain). + remove unused variable 'used_ncv' from lib_vidattr.c (Philippe Blain). + modify c++/Makefile.in to accommodate archive programs that are different for C++ than for C, and add cases for vendor's C++ compilers on Solaris and IRIX (report by Albert Chin-A-Young). + correct manpage description of criteria for deciding if the terminal supports xterm mouse controls. + add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling: --with-build-cc, --with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and --with-build-libs (request by Greg Roelofs). + change criteria for deciding if configure is cross-compiling from host/build mismatch to host/target mismatch (request by Greg Roelofs <greg.roelofs@philips.com>). + correct logic for infocmp -e and -E options which writes the data for the ext_Names[] array. This is needed if one constructs a fallback table for a terminfo entry which uses extended termcap names, e.g., AX in a color xterm. + fix undefined NCURSES_PATHSEP when configure --disable-database option is given. 20010811 + fix for VALID_BOOLEAN() macro when char is not signed. + modify 'clean' rule for C++ binding to work with Sun compiler, which caches additional information in a subdirectory of the objects. + added llib-ncursesw. 20010804 + add Caps.keys example for experimental extended function keys (adapted from a patch by Ilya Zakharevich). + correct parameter types of vidputs() and vidattr() to agree with header files (report by William P Setzer). + fix typos in several man-pages (patch by William P Setzer). + remove unneeded ifdef for __GNUG__ in CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC configure macro, which made ncurses C++ binding fail to build with other C++ compilers such as HPUX 11.x (report by Albert Chin-A-Young). + workaround for bug in HPUX 11.x C compiler: add a blank after NCURSES_EXPORT macro in form.h (report by Albert Chin-A-Young) + ignore blank lines in Caps* files in MKkey_defs.sh script (report by Albert Chin-A-Young). + correct definition of key_end in Caps.aix4, which left KEY_END undefined (report by Albert Chin-A-Young). + remove a QNX-specific fallback prototype for vsscanf(), which is obsolete with QNX RTP. + review/fix some of the T() and TR() macro calls, having noticed that there was no data for delwin() in a trace of dialog because there was no returnVoid call for wtimeout(). Also, traces in lib_twait.c are now selected under TRACE_IEVENT rather than TRACE_CALLS. 20010728 + add a _nc_access() check before opening files listed via $TERMPATH. + using modified man2html, regenerate some of the html manpages to fix broken HREF's where the link was hyphenated. 20010721 + add some limit/pointer checks to -S option of tputs. + updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler). + add a note in curs_termcap.3x regarding a defect in the XSI description of tgetent (based on a discussion with Urs Jansen regarding the HPUX 11.x implementation, whose termcap interface is not compatible with existing termcap programs). + modify manhtml rule in dist.mk to preserve copyright notice on the generated files, as well as to address HTML style issues reported by tidy and weblint. Regenerated/updated corresponding html files. + comment out use of Protected_Character and related rarely used attributes in ncurses Ada95 test/demo to compile with wide-character configuration. 20010714 + implement a simple example in C++ demo to test scanw(). + corrected stdio function used to implement scanw() in cursesw.cc + correct definition of RemAttr() macro from 20010602 changes, which caused C++ SillyDemo to not show line-drawing characters. + modify C++ binding, adding getKey() which can be overridden by user to substitute functions other than getch() for keyboard processing of forms and menus (patch by Juergen Pfeifer). 20010707 + fix some of the trace calls which needed modification to work with new wide-character structures. + modify magic-cookie code in tty_update.c to compile with new wide-character structures (report by <George.R.Goffe@seagate.com>). + ensure that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined in curses.priv.h if compiling for wide-character configuration. + make addwnstr() handle non-spacing characters (patch by Sven Verdoolaege). 20010630 + add configure check to define _GNU_SOURCE, needed to prop up glibc header files. + split-out include/curses.wide to solve spurious redefinitions caused by defining _GNU_SOURCE, and move includes for <signal.h> before <curses.h> to work around misdefinition of ERR in glibc 2.1.3 header file. + extended ospeed change to NetBSD and OpenBSD -TD + modify logic in lib_baudrate.c for ospeed, for FreeBSD to make it work properly for termcap applications (patch by Andrey A Chernov). 20010623 + correct an overlooked CharOf/UChar instance (reports by Eugene Lee <eugene@anime.net>, Sven Verdoolaege). + correct unneeded ifdef for wunctrl() (reported by Sven Verdoolaege) 20010618 + change overlooked several CharOf/UChar instances. > several patches from Sven Verdoolaege: + correct a typo in wunctrl(), which made it appear that botwc() was needed (no such function: use btowc()). + reimplement wide-character demo in test/view.c, using new functions. + implement getcchar(), setcchar(), wadd_wchnstr() and related macros. + fix a syntax problem with do/if/while in PUTC macro (curses.priv.h). 20010616 + add parentheses in macros for malloc in test.priv.h, fixes an expression in view.c (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.co.at>). + add Caps.uwin, as an example. + change the way curses.h is generated, making the list of function key definitions extracted from the Caps file. + add #undef's before possible redefinition of ERR and OK in curses.h + modify logic in tic, toe, tput and tset which checks for basename of argv[0] to work properly on systems such as OS/2 which have case-independent filenames and/or program suffixes, e.g., ".ext". 20010609 + add a configure check, if --enable-widec is specified, for putwc(), which may be in libutf8. + remove some unnecessary text from curs_extend.3x and default_colors.3x which caused man-db to make incorrect symbolic links (Debian bug report #99550). + add configure check if cast for _IO_va_list is needed to compile C++ vscan code (Debian bug report #97945). > several patches from Sven Verdoolaege: + correct code that used non-standard auto-initialization of a struct, which gcc allows (report by Larry Virden). + use putwc() in PUTC() macro. + make addstr() work for the special case where the codeset is non-stateful (eg. UTF-8), as well as stateful codesets. 20010603 + correct loop expression in NEXT_CHAR macro for lib_addstr.c changes from 20010602 (report by Mike Castle). 20010602 + modify mvcur() to avoid emitting newline characters when nonl() mode is set. Normally this is not a problem since the actual terminal mode is set to suppress nl/crlf translations, however it is useful to allow the caller to manipulate the terminal mode to avoid staircasing effects after spawning a process which writes messages (for lynx 2.8.4) -TD > several patches from Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>: + remove redundant type-conversion in fifo_push() + correct definition of addwstr() macro in curses.h.in + remove _nc_utf8_outch() + rename most existing uses of CharOf() to UChar(), e.g., where it is used to prevent sign-extension in ctype macros. + change some chtype's to attr_t's where the corresponding variables are used to manipulate attributes. + UpdateAttr() was applied to both attributes (attr_t) and characters (chtype). Modify macro and calls to it to make these distinct. + add CharEq() macro, use in places where wide-character configuration implementation uses a struct for cchar_t. + moved struct ldat into curses.priv.h, to hide implementation details. + change CharOf() macro to use it for masking A_CHARTEXT data from chtype's. + add L() macro to curses.priv.h, for long-character literals. + replace several assignments from struct ldat entries to chtype or char values with combinations of CharOf() and AttrOf() macros. + add/use intermediate ChAttrOf() and ChCharOf() macros where we know we are using chtype data. + add/use lowlevel attribute manipulation macros AddAttr(), RemAttr() and SetAttr(). + add/use SetChar() macro, to change a cchar_t based on a character and attributes. + convert most internal use of chtype to NCURSES_CH_T, to simplify use of cchar_t for wide-character configuration. Similarly, use ARG_CH_T where a pointer would be more useful. + add stubs for tracing cchar_t values. + add/use macro ISBLANK() + add/use constructors for cchar_t's: NewChar(), NewChar2(). + add/use macros CHREF(), CHDEREF(), AttrOfD(), CharOfD() to facilitate passing cchar_t's by address. + add/use PUTC_DATA, PUTC() macros. + for wide-character configuration, move the window background data to the end of the WINDOW struct so that whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined or not, the offsets in the struct will not change. + modify addch() to work with wide-characters. + mark several wide-character functions as generated in curses.h.in + implement wunctrl(), wadd_wch(), wbkgrndset(), wbkgrnd(), wborder_set() and waddnwstr(). 20010526 + add experimental --with-caps=XXX option to customize to similar terminfo database formats such as AIX 4.x + add Caps.aix4 as an example. + modify Caps to add columns for the the KEY_xxx symbols. + modify configure --with-widec to suppress overwrite of libcurses.so and curses.h + add checks to toe.c to avoid being confused by files and directories where we would expect the reverse, e.g., source-files in the top-level terminfo levels as is the case for AIX. 20010519 + add top-level 'depend' rule for the C sources, assuming that the makedepend program is available. As a side-effect, this makes the generated sources, as in "make sources" (prompted by a report by Mike Castle that "make -j" fails because the resulting parallel processes race to generate ncurses/names.c). + modify configure script so that --disable-overwrite option's action to add a symbolic link for libcurses applies to the static library as well as the shared library when both are configured (report by Felix Natter <f.natter@ndh.net>). + add ELKS terminfo entries (Federico Bianchi <bianchi@www.arte.unipi.it>) + add u6 (CSR) to Eterm (Michael Jennings). 20010512 + modify test/ncurses.c to work with xterm-256color, which has fewer color pairs than colors*colors (report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>). 20010505 + corrected screen.xterm-xfree86 entry. + update comment in Caps regarding IBM (AIX) function-key definitions. 20010421 + modify c++/Makefile.in to link with libncurses++w.a when configured for wide-characters (patch by Sven Verdoolaege). + add check in _nc_trace_buf() to refrain from freeing a null pointer. + improve CF_PROG_INSTALL macro using CF_DIRNAME. + update config.guess, config.sub from autoconf 2.49e (alpha). 20010414 + add secondary check in tic.c, similar_sgr() to see if the reason for mismatch was that the individual capabilities used a time-delay while sgr did not. Used this to cleanup mismatches, e.g., in vt100, and remove time-delay from Apple_Terminal entries. + add Apple_Terminal terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler <bsittler@iname.com>). + correct definitions of shifted editing keys for xterm-xfree86 -TD + fix a bug in test/bs.c from 20010407 (patch by Erik Sigra). + prevent relative_move() from doing an overwrite if it detects 8-bit characters when configured for UTF-8 (reported by Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>). 20010407 + add configure checks for strstream.h vscan function, and similar stdio-based function which may be used in C++ binding for gcc 3.0 (reports by George Goffe, Lars Hecking, Mike Castle). + rewrite parts of configure.in which used changequote(). That feature is broken in the latest autoconf alphas (e.g., 2.49d). + add a missing pathname for ncurses_dll.h, needed when building in a directory outside the source tree (patch by Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>). > fix 2 bugs in test/bs.c Erik Sigra <sigra@home.se>: + no ships were ever placed in the last row or in the last column. This made the game very easy to win, because you never had to waste any shots there, but the computer did. + the squares around a sunken ship that belonged to the player were not displayed as already hit by the computer, like it does for the player. 20010331 + add some examples of customizing screen's terminfo: screen.xterm-xfree86, screen.xterm-r6, screen.teraterm -TD + modify screen's terminfo entry to match the khome/kend in screen 3.09.08 (Debian bug report #92215). + correct a memory leak in forms library (report by Stefan Vogtner <stefan@vogtner.de>) (patch by Juergen Pfeifer). 20010324 + change symbols used to guard against repeated includes to begin consistently with "NCURSES_" rather than a leading underscore. There are other symbols defined in the header files which begin with a leading underscore, but they are part of the legacy interface. + reorder includes in c++ binding so that rcs identifiers can be compiled-in. + add .cc.ii rule to c++ makefile, to get preprocessor output for debugging. + correct configure script handling of @keyword@ substitutions when the --with-manpage-renames option is given (cf: 20000715, fixes Debian bug #89939). + report stack underflow/overflow in tparm() when tic -cv option is given. + remove spurious "%|" operator from xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry, (reported by Adam Costello <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian bug #89222). 20010310 + cleanup of newdemo.c, fixing some ambiguous expressions noted by gcc 2.95.2, and correcting some conflicting color pair initializations. + add missing copyright notice for cursesw.h + review, make minor fixes for use of '::' for referring to C-language interface from C++ binding. + modify configure check for g++ library slightly to accommodate nonstandard version number, e.g., <vendor>-2.7 (report by Ronald Ho <rho@mipos2.intel.com>). + add configure check for c++ <sstream> header, replace hardcoded ifdef. + workaround for pre-release of gcc 3.0 libstdc++, which has dropped vscan from strstreambuf to follow standard, use wrapper for C vscanf instead (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@excite.com> and Matt Taggart <taggart@carmen.fc.hp.com>, fixes Debian . 20010303 + modify interface of _nc_get_token() to pass 'silent' parameter to it, to make quieter loading of /etc/termcap (patch by Todd C Miller). + correct a few typos in curs_slk.3x and curs_outopts.3x manpages (patch by Todd C Miller). 20010224 + compiler-warning fixes (reported by Nelson Beebe). 20010210 + modify screen terminfo entry to use new 3.9.8 feature allowing xterm mouse controls -TD 20010203 + broaden patterns used to match OS/2 EMX in configure script to cover variant used in newer config.guess/config.sub + remove changequote() calls from configure script, since this feature is broken in the autoconf 2.49c alpha, maintainers decline to fix. + remove macro callPutChar() from tty_update.c, since this is no longer needed (reported by Philippe Blain). + add a null-pointer check in tic.c to handle the case when the input file is really empty. Modify the next_char() function in comp_scan.c to allow arbitrarily long lines, and incidentally supply a newline to files that do not end in a newline. These changes improve tic's recovery from attempts to read binary files, e.g., its output from the terminfo database (reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer). 20010127 + revert change to c++/demo.cc from 20001209, which changed definition of main() apparently to accommodate cygwin linker, but broke the demo program. + workaround for broken egcs 2.91.66 which calls member functions (i.e., lines() and colors() of NCursesWindow before calling its constructor. Add calls to initialize() in a few constructors which did not do this already. + use the GNAT preprocessor to make the necessary switch between TRACE and NO_TRACE configurations (patch by Juergen Pfeifer). > patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer: + modify kterm terminfo entry to use SCS sequence to support alternate character set (it does not work with SI/SO). + --with-ospeed=something didn't work. configure.in checked for a $enableval where it should check for $withval. Also, ncurses/llib-lncurses still had a hardcoded short. 20010114 + correction to my merge of Tom Riddle's patch that broke tic in some conditions (reported by Enoch Wexler <enoch@wexler.co.il>) -TD 20010113 + modify view.c to test halfdelay(). Like other tests, this recognizes the 's' and space commands for stopping/starting polled input, shows a freerunning clock in the header. If given a parameter to 's', that makes view.c use halfdelay() with that parameter rather than nodelay(). + fix to allow compile with the experimental configure option --disable-hashmap. + modify postprocess_termcap() to avoid overwriting key_backspace, key_left, key_down when processing a non-base entry (report/patch by Tom Riddle). + modify _nc_wrap_entry(), adding option to reallocate the string table, needed in _nc_merge_entry() when merging termcap entries. (adapted from report/patch by Tom Riddle <ftr@oracom.com>). + modify a few configure script macros to keep $CFLAGS used only for compiler options, preprocessor options in $CPPFLAGS. 20001230 + correct marker positions in lrtest.c after receiving a sigwinch. + fix ifdef's in ncurses.c to build against pre-5.2 for testing. + fixes to tclock for resizing behavior, redundant computation (report and patch by A M Kuchling <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>). 20001216 + improved scoansi terminfo entry -TD + modify configure script and makefile in Ada95/src to compile a stub for the trace functions when ncurses does not provide those. 20001209 + add ncurses_dll.h and related definitions to support generating DLL's with cygwin (adapted from a patch by Charles Wilson <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>, changed NCURSES_EXPORT macro to make it work with 'indent') -TD 20001202 + correct prototypes for some functions in curs_termcap.3x, matching termcap.h, which matches X/Open. > patch by Juergen Pfeifer: + a revised version of the Ada enhancements sent in by "H. Nanosecond", aka Eugene V Melaragno <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>. This patch includes - small fixes to the existing ncurses binding - addition of some more low-level functions to the binding, including termcap and terminfo functions - An Ada implementation of the "ncurses" test application originally written in C. 20001125 + modify logic in lib_setup.c to allow either lines or columns value from terminfo to be used if the screen size cannot be determined dynamically rather than requiring both (patch by Ehud Karni <ehud@unix.simonwiesel.co.il>). + add check in lib_tgoto.c's is_termcap() function to reject null or empty strings (reported by Valentin Nechayev <netch@netch.kiev.ua> to freebsd-bugs). + add definition from configure script that denotes the path-separator, which is normally a colon. The path-separator is a semicolon on OS/2 EMX and similar systems which may use a colon within pathnames. + alter logic to set default for --disable-overwrite option to set it to 'yes' if the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr/local, thereby accommodating the most common cause of problems: gcc's nonstandard search rules. Other locations such as /usr/local/ncurses will default to overwriting (report by Lars Hecking <lhecking@nmrc.ie>). 20001118 + modify default for --disable-overwrite configure option to disable if the --prefix or $prefix value is not /usr. + add cygwin to systems for which ncurses is installed by default into /usr rather than /usr/local. 20001111 + minor optimization in comp_error.c and lib_termname.c, using strncat() to replace strncpy() (patch by Solar Designer). + add a use_terminfo_vars() check for $HOME/.termcap, and check for geteuid() to use_terminfo_vars() (patch by Solar Designer <solar@false.com>). + improved cygwin terminfo entry, based on patch by <ernie_boyd@yahoo.com>. + modify _nc_write_entry() to allow for the possibility that linking aliases on a filesystem that ignores case would not succeed because the source and destination differ only by case, e.g., NCR260VT300WPP0 on cygwin (report by Neil Zanella). + fix a typo in the curs_deleteln.3x man page (patch by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>). 20001104 + add configure option --with-ospeed to assist packagers in transition to 5.3 change to ospeed type. + add/use CharOf() macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on platforms where this is a problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris. + change trace output to binary format. + correct a missing quote adjustment in CF_PATH_SYNTAX autoconf macro, for OS/2 EMX configuration. + rearrange a few configure macros, moving preprocessor options to $CPPFLAGS (a now-obsolete version of autoconf did not consistently use $CPPFLAGS in both the compile and preprocessor checks). + add a check in relative_move() to guard against buffer overflow in the overwrite logic. 20001028 + add message to configure script showing g++ version. + resync config.guess, config.sub + modify lib_delwin.c, making it return ERR if the window did not exist (suggested by Neil Zanella). + add cases for FreeBSD 3.1 to tdlint and makellib scripts, used this to test/review ncurses library. (Would use lclint, but it doesn't work). + reorganized knight.c to avoid forward references. Correct screen updates when backtracking, especially to the first cell. Add F/B/a commands. 20001021 5.2 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org + update generated html files from manpages. + modify dist.mk to use edit_man.sh to substitute autoconf'd variables in html manpages. + fix an uninitialized pointer in read_termcap.c (report by Todd C Miller, from report/patch by Philip Guenther <guenther@gac.edu>). + correct help-message and array limit in knight.c (patch by Brian Raiter <breadbox@muppetlabs.com>). > patch by Juergen Pfeifer: + fix to avoid warning by GNAT-3.13p about use of inconsistent casing for some identifiers defined in the standard package. + cosmetic change to forms/fty_enum.c 20001014 + correct an off-by-one position in test/railroad.c which could cause wrapping at the right margin. + test/repair some issues with libtool configuration. Make --disable-echo force libtool --silent. (Libtool does not work for OS/2 EMX, works partly for SCO - libtool is still very specific to gcc). + change default of --with-manpage-tbl to "no", since for most of the platforms which do have tbl installed, the system "man" program understands how to run tbl automatically. + minor improvement to force_bar() in comp_parse.c (Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>). + modify lib_tparm.c to use get_space() before writing terminating null character, both for consistency as well as to ensure that if save_char() was called immediately before, that the allocated memory is enough (patch by Sergei Ivanov). + add note about termcap ML capability which is duplicated between two different capabilities: smgl and smglr (reported by Sergei Ivanov <svivanov@pdmi.ras.ru>). + correct parameter counts in include/Caps for dclk as well as some printer-specific capabilities: csnm, defc, scs, scsd, smgtp, smglp. > patch by Johnny C Lam <lamj@stat.cmu.edu>: + add support for building with libtool (apparently version 1.3.5, since old versions do not handle -L../lib), using new configure option --with-libtool. + add configure option --with-manpage-tbl, which causes the manpages to be preprocessed by tbl(1) prior to installation, + add configure option --without-curses-h, which causes the installation process to install curses.h as ncurses.h and make appropriate changes to headers and manpages. 20001009 + correct order of options/parameters in run_tic.in invocation of tic, which did not work with standard getopt() (reported by Ethan Butterfield <primus@veris.org>). + correct logic for 'reverse' variable in lib_vidattr.c, which was setting it true without checking if newmode had A_REVERSE set, e.g., using $TERM=ansi on OS/2 EMX (see 20000917). > patch by Todd C Miller: + add a few missing use_terminfo_vars() and fixes up _nc_tgetent(). Previously, _nc_cgetset() would still get called on cp so the simplest thing is to set cp to NULL if !use_terminfo_vars(). + added checks for an empty $HOME environment variable. > patches for OS/2 EMX (Ilya Zakharevich): + modify convert_configure.pl to support INSTALL. Change compiler options in that script to use multithreading, needed for the mouse. + modify OS/2 mouse support, retrying as a 2-button mouse if code fails to set up a 3-button mouse. + improve code for OS/2 mouse support, using _nc_timed_wait() to replace select() call. 20001007 + change type of ospeed variable back to short to match its use in legacy applications (reported by Andrey A Chernov). + add case to configure script for --enable-rpath on IRIX (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young). + minor fix to position_check() function, to ensure it gets the whole cursor report before decoding. + add configure option --disable-assumed-color, to allow pre-5.1 convention of default colors used for color-pair 0 to be configured (see assume_default_colors()). + rename configure option --enable-hashmap --disable-hashmap, and reorder the configure options, splitting the experimental and development + add configure option --disable-root-environ, which tells ncurses to disregard $TERMINFO and similar environment variables if the current user is root, or running setuid/setgid (based on discussion with several people). + modified misc/run_tic.in to use tic -o, to eliminate dependency on $TERMINFO variable for installs. + add table entry for plab_norm to tput, so it passes in strings for that capability. + modify parse_format() in lib_tparm.c to ignore precision if it is longer than 10000 (report by Jouko Pynnonen). + rewrote limit checks in lib_mvcur.c using new functions _nc_safe_strcat(), etc. Made other related changes to check lengths used for strcat/strcpy (report by Jouko Pynnonen <jouko@solutions.fi>). 20000930 + modify several descriptions, including those for setaf, setab, in include/Caps to indicate that the entries are parameterized. This information is used to tell which strings are translated when converting to termcap. Fixes a problem where the generated termcap would contain a spurious "%p1" for the terminfo "%p1%d". + modify ld -rpath options (e.g., Linux, and Solaris) to use an absolute pathname for the build tree's lib directory (prompted by discussion with Albert Chin-A-Young). + modify "make install.man" and "make uninstall.man" to include tack's man-page. + various fixes for install scripts used to support configure --srcdir and --with-install-prefix (reported by Matthew Clarke <Matthew_Clarke@mindlink.bc.ca>). + make configure script checks on variables $GCC and $GXX consistently compare against 'yes' rather than test if they are nonnull, since either may be set to the corresponding name of the C or C++ compiler (report/patch by Albert Chin-A-Young). 20000923 + modify rs2 capability in xterm-r6 and similar where cursor save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video attributes. The cursor restore would undo that (report by John Hawkinson <jhawk@MIT.EDU> (see NetBSD misc/11052)). + using parameter check added to tic, corrected 27 typos in terminfo.src -TD + modify tic to verify that its inputs are really files, in case someone tries to read a directory (or /dev/zero). + add a check for empty buffers returned by fgets() in comp_scan.c next_char() function, in case tic is run on a non-text file (fixes a core dump reported by Aaron Campbell <aaron@cs.dal.ca>). + add to railroad.c some code exercising tgoto(), providing an alternate form of display if the terminal supports cursor addressing. + split-out tgoto() again, this time into new file lib_tgoto.c, and implement a conventional BSD-style tgoto() which is used if the capability string does not contain terminfo-style padding or parameters (requested by Andrey A Chernov). + add check to tic which reports capabilities that do not reference the expected number of parameters. + add error checking to infocmp's -v and -m options to ensure that the option value is indeed a number. + some cleanup of logic in _nc_signal_handler() to verify if SIGWINCH handler is setup. Separated the old/new sigaction data for SIGTSTP from the other signals. 20000917 + add S0, E0 extensions to screen's terminfo entry, which is another way to solve the misconfiguration issue -TD + completed special case for tgoto from 20000916 20000916 + update xterm terminfo entries to match XFree86 xterm patch #146 -TD + add Matrix Orbital terminfo entries (from Eric Z Ayers <eric@ale.org>). + add special case to lib_tparm.c to allow 'screen' program to use a termcap-style parameter "%." to tgoto() for switching character sets. + use LN_S substitution in run_tic.in, to work on OS/2 EMX which has no symbolic links. + updated notes in README.emx regarding autoconf patches. + replace a lookup table in lib_vidattr.c used to decode no_color_video with a logic expression (suggested by Philippe Blain). + add a/A toggle to ncurses.c 'b' test, which clears/sets alternate character set attribute from the displayed text. + correct inequality in parameter analysis of rewritten lib_tparm.c which had the effect of ignoring p9 in set_attributes (sgr), breaking alternate character set (reported by Piotr Majka <charvel@link.pl>). + correct ifdef'ing for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF which would not compile with Sun WorkShop compilers since these tokens were empty (cf: 20000902, reported by Albert Chin-A-Young). 20000909 + correct an uninitialized parameter to open_tempfile() in tic.c which made "tic -I" give an ambiguous error message about tmpnam. + add special case in lib_vidattr.c to reset underline and standout for devices that have no sgr0 defined (patch by Don Lewis <Don.Lewis@tsc.tdk.com>). Note that this will not work for bold mode, since there is no exit-bold-mode capability. + improved patch for Make_Enum_Type (patch by Juergen Pfeifer). + modify tparm to disallow arithmetic on strings, analyze the varargs list to read strings as strings and numbers as numbers. + modify tparm's internal function spop() to treat a null pointer as an empty string. + modify tput program so it can be renamed or invoked via a link as 'reset' or 'init', producing the same effect as 'tput reset' or 'tput init'. + add private entrypoint _nc_basename(), use to consolidate related code in progs, as well as accommodating OS/2 EMX pathnames. + remove NCURSES_CONST line from edit_cfg.sh to compensate for its removal (except via AC_SUBST) from configure.in, making --enable-const work again (reported by Juergen Pfeifer). + regen'd configure to pick up "hpux*" change from 20000902. 20000902 + modify tset.c to check for transformed "reset" program name, if any. + add a check for null pointer in Make_Enum_Type() (reported by Steven W Orr <steveo@world.std.com>). + change functions _nc_parse_entry() and postprocess_termcap() to avoid using strtok(), because it is non-reentrant (reported by Andrey A Chernov <ache@nagual.pp.ru>). + remove "hpux10.*" case from CF_SHARED_OPTS configure script macro. This differed from the "hpux*" case by using reversed symbolic links, which made the 5.1 version not match the configuration of 5.0 shared libraries (reported by Albert Chin-A-Young). + correct a dependency in Ada95/src/Makefile.in which prevented building with configure --srcdir (patch by H Nanosecond <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>). + modify ifdef's in curses.h.in to avoid warning if GCC_PRINTF or GCC_SCANF was not previously defined (reported by Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>). + add MKncurses_def.sh to generate fallback definitions for ncurses_cfg.h, to quiet gcc -Wundef warnings, modified ifdef's in code to consistently use "#if" rather than "#ifdef". 20000826 + add QNX qansi entries to terminfo -TD + add os2 entry to misc/emx.src (<jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>). + add configure option --with-database to allow specifying a different terminfo source-file to install. On OS/2 EMX, this defaults to misc/emx.src + change misc/run_tic.sh to derive it from misc/run_tic.in, to simplify setting .exe extension on OS/2 EMX. + add .exe extension in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, Ada95/samples/Makefile.in, for OS/2 EMX (reported by <jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>). + add configure check for filesystems (such as OS/2 EMX) which do not distinguish between upper/lowercase filenames, use this to fix tags rules in makefiles. + initialize fds[] array to 0's in _nc_timed_wait(); apparently poll() only sets the revents members of that array when there is activity corresponding to the related file (report by Glenn Cooper <gcooper@qantas.com.au>, using Purify on Solaris 5.6). + change configure script to use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM rather than AC_CANONICAL_HOST, which means that configure --target will set a default program-prefix. + add note on cross-compiling to INSTALL (which does not rely on the AC_CANONICAL_* macros). 20000819 + add cases for EMX OS/2 to config.guess, config.sub + new version of config.guess, config.sub from lynx 2.8.4dev.7 + add definitions via transform.h to allow tic and tput to check for the transformed aliases rather than the original infotocap, etc. + simplify transform-expressions in progs/Makefile.in, make the uninstall rule work for transformed program names. + change symbol used by --install-prefix configure option from INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR (the latter has become common usage although the name is misleading). + modify programs to use curses_version() string to report the version of ncurses with which they are compiled rather than the NCURSES_VERSION string. The function returns the patch level in addition to the major and minor version numbers. 20000812 + modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to make transformed program names a parameter to that macro rather than embedding them in the macro. + newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in lynx 2.8.4dev.7). + add configure option --with-default-terminfo-dir=DIR to allow specifying the default terminfo database directory (request by Albert Chin-A-Young). + minor updates for terminfo.src from FreeBSD termcap change-history. + correct notes in README and INSTALL regarding documentation files that were moved from misc directory to doc (report by Rich Kulawiec <rsk@gsp.org>). + change most remaining unquoted parameters of 'test' in configure script to use quotes, for instance fixing a problem in the --disable-database option (reported by Christian Mondrup <scancm@biobase.dk>). + minor adjustments to work around some of the incompatibilities/bugs in autoconf 2.29a alpha. + add -I/usr/local/include when --with-ncurses option is used in test/configure script. + correct logic in adjust_cancels(), which did not check both alternatives when reclassifying an extended name between boolean, number and string, causing an infinite loop in tic. 20000730 + correct a missing backslash in curses.priv.h 20000729 + change handling of non_dest_scroll_region in tty_update.c to clear text after it is shifted in rather than before shifting out. Also correct row computation (reported by Ruediger Kuhlmann <uck4@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>). + add/use new trace function to display chtype values from winch() and getbkgd(). + add trace mask TRACE_ATTRS, alter several existing _tracef calls that trace attribute changes under TRACE_CALLS to use this. + modify MKlib_gen.sh so that functions returning chtype will call returnChar(). + add returnChar() trace, for functions returning chtype. + change indent.pro to line up parenthesis. 20000722 + fix a heap problem with the c++ binding (report by <alexander_liberson@ninewest.com>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer). + minor adjustment to ClrToEOL() to handle an out-of-bounds parameter. + modify the check for big-core to force a couple of memory accesses, which may work as needed for older/less-capable machines (if not, there's still the explicit configure option). > fixes based on diff's for Amiga and BeOS found at http://www.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~kuhlmann/cross/ncurses/ + alter definition of NCURSES_CONST to make it non-empty. + add amiga-vnc terminfo entry. + redefine 'TEXT' in menu.h for AMIGA, since it is reported to have an (unspecified) symbol conflict. + replaced case-statement in _nc_tracebits() for CSIZE with a table to simplify working around implementations that define random combinations of the related macros to zero. + modify configure test for tcgetattr() to allow for old implementations, e.g., on BeOS, which only defined it as a macro. > patches by Bruno Haible: + when checking LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables for UTF-8 locale, ignore those which are set to an empty value, as per SUSV2. + encode 0xFFFD in UTF-8 with 3 bytes, not 2. + modify _nc_utf8_outch() to avoid sign-extension when checking for out-of-range value. 20000715 + correct manlinks.sed script to avoid using ERE "\+", which is not understood by older versions of sed (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young). + implement configure script options that transform installed program names, e.g., --program-prefix, including the manpage names and cross references (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>). + correct several mismatches between manpage filename and ".TH" directives, renaming dft_fgbg.3x to default_colors.3x and menu_attribs.3x to menu_attributes.3x (report by Todd C Miller). + correct missing includes for <string.h> in several places, including the C++ binding. This is not noted by gcc unless we use the -fno-builtin option (reported by Igor Schein <igor@txc.com>). + modified progs/tset.c and tack/sysdep.c to build with sgttyb interface if neither termio or termios is available. Tested this with FreeBSD 2.1.5 (which does have termios - but the sgttyb does work). 20000708 5.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org + document configure options in INSTALL. + add man-page for ncurses trace functions. + correct return value shown in curs_touch.3x for is_linetouched() and is_wintouched(), in curs_initscr.3x for isendwin(), and in curs_termattr.3x for has_ic() and has_il(). + add prototypes for touchline() and touchwin(), adding them to the list of generated functions. + modify fifo_push() to put ERR into the fifo just like other values to return from wgetch(). It was returning without doing that, making end-of-file condition incorrectly return a 0 (reported by Todd C Miller). + uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS for progs and tack (see 971115), since they are needed for SCO OpenServer. + move _nc_disable_period from free_ttype.c to comp_scan.c to appease dynamic loaders on SCO and IRIX64. + add "-a" option to test/ncurses.c to invoke assume_default_colors() for testing. + correct assignment in assume_default_colors() which tells ncurses whether to use default colors, or the assumed ones (reported by Gary Funck <gary@Intrepid.Com>). + review/correct logic in mk-1st.awk for making symbolic links for shared libraries, in particular for FreeBSD, etc. + regenerate misc/*.def files for OS/2 EMX dll's. + correct quoting of values for CC_SHARED_OPTS in aclocal.m4 for cases openbsd2*, openbsd*, freebsd* and netbsd* (patch by Peter Wemm) (err in 20000610). + minor updates to release notes, as well as adding/updating URLs for examples cited in announce.html > several fixes from Philippe Blain <philippe.blain2@freesbee.fr>: + correct placement of ifdef for NCURSES_XNAMES in function _nc_free_termtype(), fixes a memory leak. + add a call to _nc_synchook() to the end of function whline() like that in wvline() (difference was in 1.9.4). + make ClearScreen() a little faster by moving two instances of UpdateAttr() out of for-loops. + simplify ClrBottom() by eliminating the tstLine data, using for-loops (cf: 960428). 20000701 pre-release + change minor version to 1, i.e., ncurses 5.1 + add experimental configure option --enable-colorfgbg to check for $COLORTERM variable as set by rxvt/aterm/Eterm. + add Eterm terminfo entry (Michael Jennings <mej@valinux.com>). + modify manlinks.sed to pick aliases from the SYNOPSIS section, and several manpages so manlinks.sed can find aliases for creating symbolic links. + add explanation to run_tic.sh regarding extended terminal capabilities. + change message format for edit_cfg.sh, since some people interpret it as a warning. + correct unescaped '$' in sysv5uw7*|unix_sv* rule for CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro (report by Thanh Ma <Thanh.Ma@casi-rusco.com>). + correct logic in lib_twait.c as used by lib_mouse.c for GPM mouse support when poll() is used rather than select() (prompted by discussion with David Allen <DAllen24@aol.com>). 20000624 pre-release + modify TransformLine() to check for cells with different color pairs that happen to render the same display colors. + apply $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to cost-computation in mvcur(). + improve cost computation in PutRange() by accounting for the use of parm_right_cursor in mvcur(). + correct cost computation in EmitRange(), which was not using the normalized value for cursor_address. + newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in TIN 1.5.6). 20000617 + update config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in PCRE 3.2). + resync changes to gnathtml against version 1.22, regenerated html files under doc/html/ada using this (1.22.1.1). + regenerated html files under doc/html/man after correcting top and bottom margin options for man2html in dist.mk + minor fixes to test programs ncurses 'i' and testcurs program to make the subwindow's background color cover the subwindow. + modify configure script so AC_MSG_ERROR is temporarily defined to a warning in AC_PROG_CXX to make it recover from a missing C++ compiler without requiring user to add --without-cxx option (adapted from comment by Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> to autoconf mailing list). + modify headers.sh to avoid creating temporary files in the build directory when installing headers (reported by Sergei Pokrovsky <pok@nbsp.nsk.su>) 20000610 + regenerated the html files under doc/html/ada/files and doc/html/ada/funcs with a slightly-improved gnathtml. + add kmous capability to linux terminfo entry to allow it to use xterm-style events provided by gpm patch by Joerg Schoen. + make the configure macro CF_SHARED_OPTS a little smarter by testing if -fPIC is supported by gcc rather than -fpic. The former option allows larger symbol tables. + update config.guess and config.sub (patches by Kevin Buettner <kev@primenet.com> (for elf64_ia64), Bernd Kuemmerlen <bkuemmer@mevis.de> (for MacOS X)). + add warning for 'tic -cv' about use of '^?' in terminfo source, which is an extension. 20000527 + modify echo() behavior of getch() to match Solaris curses for carriage return and backspace (reported by Neil Zanella). + change _nc_flush() to a function. + modify delscreen() to check if the output stream has been closed, and if so, free the buffer allocated for setbuf (this provides an ncurses-specific way to avoid a memory leak when repeatedly calling newterm reported by Chipp C <at_1@zdnetonebox.com>). + correct typo in curs_getch.3x manpage regarding noecho (reported by David Malone <dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie>). + add a "make libs" rule. + make the Ada95 interface build with configure --enable-widec. + if the configure --enable-widec option is given, append 'w' to names of the generated libraries (e.g., libncursesw.so) to avoid conflict with existing ncurses libraries. 20000520 + modify view.c to make a rudimentary viewer of UTF-8 text if ncurses is configured with the experimental wide-character support. + add a simple UTF-8 output driver to the experimental wide-character support. If any of the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or LANG contain the string "UTF-8", this driver will be used to translate the output to UTF-8. This works with XFree86 xterm. + modify configure script to allow building shared libraries on BeOS (from a patch by Valeriy E Ushakov). + modify lib_addch.c to allow repeated update to the lower-right corner, rather than displaying only the first character written until the cursor is moved. Recent versions of SVr4 curses can update the lower-right corner, and behave this way (reported by Neil Zanella). + add a limit-check in _nc_do_color(), to avoid using invalid color pair value (report by Brendan O'Dea <bod@compusol.com.au>). 20000513 + the tack program knows how to use smcup and rmcup but the "show caps that can be tested" feature did not reflect this knowledge. Correct the display in the menu tack/test/edit/c (patch by Daniel Weaver). + xterm-16color does allow bold+colors, removed ncv#32 from that terminfo entry. 20000506 + correct assignment to SP->_has_sgr_39_49 in lib_dft_fgbg.c, which broke check for screen's AX capability (reported by Valeriy E Ushakov <uwe@ptc.spbu.ru>). + change man2html rule in dist.mk to workaround bug in some man-programs that ignores locale when rendering hyphenation. + change web- and ftp-site to dickey.his.com 20000429 + move _nc_curr_token from parse_entry.c to comp_scan.c, to work around problem linking tack on MacOS X DP3. + include <sys/time.h> in lib_napms.c to compile on MacOS X DP3 (reported by Gerben Wierda <wierda@holmes.nl>). + modify lib_vidattr.c to check for ncv fixes when pair-0 is not default colors. + add -d option to ncurses.c, to turn on default-colors for testing. + add a check to _nc_makenew() to ensure that newwin() and newpad() calls do not silently fail by passing too-large limits. + add symbol NCURSES_SIZE_T to use rather than explicit 'short' for internal window and pad sizes. Note that since this is visible in the WINDOW struct, it would be an ABI change to make this an 'int' (prompted by a question by Bastian Trompetter <btrompetter@firemail.de>, who attempted to create a 96000-line pad). 20000422 + add mgterm terminfo entry from NetBSD, minor adjustments to sun-ss5, aixterm entries -TD + modify tack/ansi.c to make it more tolerant of bad ANSI replies. An example of an illegal ANSI resonse can be found using Microsoft's Telnet client. A correct display can be found using a VT-4xx terminal or XFree86 xterm with: XTerm*VT100*decTerminalID: 450 (patch by Daniel Weaver). + modify gdc.c to recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' ' for resume. Add '-n' option to force gdc's standard input to /dev/null, to both illustrate the use of newterm() for specifying alternate inputs as well as for testing signal handling. + minor fix for configure option --with-manpage-symlinks, for target directories that contain a period ('.') (reported by Larry Virden). 20000415 + minor additions to beterm entry (feedback from Rico Tudor) -TD + corrections/updates for some IBM terminfo entries -TD + modify _nc_screen_wrap() so that when exiting curses mode with non-default colors, the last line on the screen will be cleared to the screen's default colors (request by Alexander V Lukyanov). + modify ncurses.c 'r' example to set nonl(), allowing control/M to be read for demonstrating the REQ_NEW_LINE operation (prompted by a question by Tony L Keith <tlkeith@keithconsulting.com>). + modify ncurses.c 'r' example of field_info() to work on Solaris 2.7, documented extension of ncurses which allows a zero pointer. + modify fmt_complex() to avoid buffer overflow in case of excess recursion, and to recognize "%e%?" as a synonym for else-if, which means that it will not recur for that special case. + add logic to support $TERMCAP variable in case the USE_GETCAP symbol is defined (patch by Todd C Miller). + modify one of the m4 files used to generate the Ada95 sources, to avoid using the token "symbols" (patch by Juergen Pfeifer). 20000408 + add terminfo entries bsdos-pc-m, bsdos-pc-mono (Jeffrey C Honig) + correct spelling error in terminfo entry name: bq300-rv was given as bg300-rv in esr's version. + modify redrawwin() macro so its parameter is fully parenthesized (fixes Debian bug report #61088). + correct formatting error in dump_entry() which set incorrect column value when no newline trimming was needed at the end of an entry, before appending "use=" clauses (cf: 960406). 20000401 + add configure option --with-manpage-symlinks + change unctrl() to render C1 characters (128-159) as ~@, ~A, etc. + change makefiles so trace() function is provided only if TRACE is defined, e.g., in the debug library. Modify related calls to _tracechar() to use unctrl() instead. 20000325 + add screen's AX capability (for ECMA SGR 39 and 49) to applicable terminfo entries, use presence of this as a check for a small improvement in setting default colors. + improve logic in _nc_do_color() implementing assume_default_colors() by passing in previous color pair info to eliminate redundant call to set_original_colors(). (Part of this is from a patch by Alexander V Lukyanov). + modify warning in _nc_trans_string() about a possibly too-long string to do this once only rather than for each character past the threshold (600). Change interface of _nc_trans_string() to allow check for buffer overflow. + correct use of memset in _nc_read_entry_source() to initialize ENTRY struct each time before reading new data into it, rather than once per loop (cf: 990301). This affects multi-entry in-core operations such as "infocmp -Fa". 20000319 + remove a spurious pointer increment in _nc_infotocap() changes from 20000311. Add check for '.' in format of number, since that also is not permitted in termcap. + correct typo in rxvt-basic terminfo from temporary change made while integrating 20000318. 20000318 + revert part of the vt220 change (request by Todd C Miller). + add ansi-* terminfo entries from ESR's version. + add -a option to tic and infocmp, which retains commented-out capabilities during source translation/comparison, e.g., captoinfo and infotocap. + modify cardfile.c to display an empty card if no input data file is found, fixes a core dump in that case (reported by Bruno Haible). + correct bracketing in CF_MATH_LIB configure macro, which gave wrong result for OS/2 EMX. + supply required parameter for _nc_resolve_uses() call in read_termcap.c, overlooked in 20000311 (reported by Todd C Miller). > patches by Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>: + fix a compiler warning in fty_enum.c + correct LIB_PREFIX expression for DEPS_CURSES in progs, tack makefiles, which resulted in redundant linking (cf: 20000122). 20000311 + make ifdef's for BROKEN_LINKER consistent (patch by Todd C Miller). + improved tack/README (patch by Daniel Weaver). + modify tput.c to ensure that unspecified parameters are passed to tparm() as 0's. + add a few checks in infocmp to guard against buffer overflow when displaying string capabilities. + add check for zero-uses in infocmp's file_comparison() function before calling _nc_align_termtype(). Otherwise one parameter is indexed past the end of the uses-array. + add an option -q to infocmp to specify the less verbose output, keeping the existing format as the default, though not retaining the previous behavior that made the -F option compare each entry to itself. + adapted patch by ESR to make infocmp -F less verbose -TD (the submitted patch was unusable because it did not compile properly) + modify write_entry.c to ensure that absent or cancelled booleans are written as FALSE, for consistency with infocmp which now assumes this. Note that for the small-core configuration, tic may not produce the same result as before. + change some private library interfaces used by infocmp, e.g., _nc_resolve_uses(). + add a check in _nc_infotocap() to ensure that cm-style capabilities accept only %d codes when converting the format from terminfo to termcap. + modify ENTRY struct to separate the data in 'parent' into the name and link values (the original idea to merge both into 'parent' was not good). + discard repair_acsc(tterm); > patch by Juergen Pfeifer: + drop support for gnat 3.10 + move generated documentation and html files under ./doc directory, adding makefile rules for this to dist.mk 20000304 + correct conflicting use of tparm() in 20000226 change to tic, which made it check only one entry at a time. + fix errors in ncurses-intro.html and hackguide.html shown by Dave Raggett's tidy. + make the example in ncurses-intro.html do something plausible, and corrected misleading comment (reported by Neil Zanella). + modify pnoutrefresh() to set newscr->_leaveok as wnoutrefresh() does, to fix a case where the cursor position was not updated as in Solaris (patch by David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>). + add a limit-check for wresize() to ensure that a subwindow does not address out of bounds. + correct offsets used for subwindows in wresize() (patch by Michael Andres <ma@suse.de>). + regenerate html'ized manual pages with man2html 3.0.1 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer). This generated a file with a space in its name, which I removed. + fix a few spelling errors in tack. + modify tack/Makefile.in to match linker options of progs/Makefile.in; otherwise it does not build properly for older HPUX shared library configurations. + add several terminfo entries from esr's "11.0". 20000226 + make 'tput flash' work properly for xterm by flushing output in delay_output() when using napms(), and modifying xterm's terminfo to specify no padding character. Otherwise, xterm's reported baud rate can mislead ncurses into producing too few padding characters (Debian #58530). + add a check to tic for consistency between sgr and the separate capabilities such as smso, use this to check/correct several terminfo entries (Debian #58530). + add a check to tic if cvvis is the same as cnorm, adjusted several terminfo entries to remove the conflict (Debian #58530). + correct prototype shown in attr_set()/wattr_set() manpages (fixes Debian #53962). + minor clarification for curs_set() and leaveok() manpages. + use mkstemp() for creating temporary file for tic's processing of $TERMCAP contents (fixes Debian #56465). + correct two errors from integrating Alexander's changes: did not handle the non-bce case properly in can_erase_with() (noted by Alexander), and left fg/bg uninitialized in the pair-zero case of _nc_do_color() (reported by Dr Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> and Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@cordeiro.com>). 20000219 + store default-color code consistently as C_MASK, even if given as -1 for convenience (adapted from patches by Alexander V Lukyanov). > patches by Alexander V Lukyanov: + change can_clear_with() macro to accommodate logic for assume_default_colors(), making most of the FILL_BCE logic unnecessary. Made can_clear_with() an inline function to make it simpler to read. 20000212 + corrected form of recent copyright dates. + minor corrections to xterm-xf86-v333 terminfo entry -TD > patches by Alexander V Lukyanov: + reworded dft_fgbg.3x to avoid assuming that the terminal's default colors are white on black. + fix initialization of tstLine so that it is filled with current blank character in any case. Previously it was possible to have it filled with old blank. The wrong over-optimization was introduced in 991002 patch. (it is not very critical as the only bad effect is not using clr_eos for clearing if blank has changed). 20000205 + minor corrections/updates to several terminfo entries: rxvt-basic, vt520, vt525, ibm5151, xterm-xf86-v40 -TD + modify ifdef's for poll() to allow it to use <sys/poll.h>, thereby allowing poll() to be used on Linux. + add CF_FUNC_POLL macro to check if poll() is able to select from standard input. If not we will not use it, preferring select() (adapted from patch by Michael Pakovic <mpakovic@fdn.com>). + update CF_SHARED_OPTS macro for SCO Unixware 7.1 to allow building shared libraries (reported/tested by Thanh <thanhma@mediaone.net>). + override $LANGUAGE in build to avoid incorrect ordering of keynames. + correct CF_MATH_LIB parameter, must be sin(x), not sqrt(x). 20000122 + resync CF_CHECK_ERRNO and CF_LIB_PREFIX macros from tin and xterm -TD + modify CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to parameterize the test function used, for reuse in dialog and similar packages. + correct tests for file-descriptors in OS/2 EMX mouse support. A negative value could be used by FD_SET, causing the select() call to wait indefinitely. 20000115 + additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of delete_character) to work when assume_default_colors() is not specified. + modify warning message from _nc_parse_entry() regarding extended capability names to print only if tic/infocmp/toe have the -v flag set, and not at all in ordinary user applications. Otherwise, this warning would be shown for screen's extended capabilities in programs that use the termcap interface (reported by Todd C Miller). + modify use of _nc_tracing from programs such as tic so their debug level is not in the same range as values set by trace() function. + small panel header cleanup (patch by Juergen Pfeifer). + add 'railroad' demo for termcap interface. + modify 'tic' to write its usage message to stderr (patch by Todd C Miller). 20000108 + add prototype for erase() to curses.h.in, needed to make test programs build with c++/g++. + add .c.i and .c.h suffix rules to generated makefiles, for debugging. + correct install rule for tack.1; it assumed that file was in the current directory (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>). + modify terminfo/termcap translation to suppress acsc before trying sgr if the entry would be too large (patch by Todd C Miller). + document a special case of incompatiblity between ncurses 4.2 and 5.0, add a section for this in INSTALL. + add TRACE_DATABASE flag for trace(). 20000101 + update mach, add mach-color terminfo entries based on Debian diffs for ncurses 5.0 -TD + add entries for xterm-hp, xterm-vt220, xterm-vt52 and xterm-noapp terminfo entries -TD + change OTrs capabilities to rs2 in terminfo.src -TD + add obsolete and extended capabilities to 'screen' terminfo -TD + corrected conversion from terminfo rs2 to termcap rs (cf: 980704) + make conversion to termcap ug (underline glitch) more consistently applied. + fix out-of-scope use of 'personal[]' buffer in 'toe' (this error was in the original pre-1.9.7 version, when $HOME/.terminfo was introduced). + modify 'toe' to ignore terminfo directories to which it has no permissions. + modify read_termtype(), fixing 'toe', which could dump core when it found an incomplete entry such as "dumb" because it did not initialize its buffer for _nc_read_file_entry(). + use -fPIC rather than -fpic for shared libraries on Linux, not needed for i386 but some ports (from Debian diffs for 5.0) -TD + use explicit VALID_NUMERIC() checks in a few places that had been overlooked, and add a check to ensure that init_tabs is nonzero, to avoid divide-by-zero (reported by Todd C Miller). + minor fix for CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK configure macro, for HPUX 10.x (from tin) -TD 19991218 + reorder tests during mouse initialization to allow for gpm to run in xterm, or for xterm to be used under OS/2 EMX. Also drop test for $DISPLAY in favor of kmous=\E[M or $TERM containing "xterm" (report by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>). + modify raw() and noraw() to clear/restore IEXTEN flag which affects stty lnext on systems such as FreeBSD (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>, via Jason Evans <jasone@canonware.com>). + fix a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in failed() function of tset.c (reported by Todd C Miller). + add manual-page for ncurses extensions, documented curses_version(), use_extended_names(). 19991211 + treat as untranslatable to termcap those terminfo strings which contain non-decimal formatting, e.g., hexadecimal or octal. + correct commented-out capabilities that cannot be translated to termcap, which did not check if a colon must be escaped. + correct termcap translation for "%>" and "%+", which did not check if a colon must be escaped, for instance. + use save_string/save_char for _nc_captoinfo() to eliminate fixed buffer (originally for _nc_infotocap() in 960301 -TD). + correct expression used for terminfo equivalent of termcap %B, adjust regent100 entry which uses this. + some cleanup and commenting of ad hoc cases in _nc_infotocap(). + eliminate a fixed-buffer in tic, used for translating comments. + add manpage for infotocap 19991204 + add kvt and gnome terminfo entries -TD + correct translation of "%%" by infotocap, which was emitted as "%". + add "obsolete" termcap strings to terminfo.src + modify infocmp to default to showing obsolete capabilities rather than terminfo only. + modify write_entry.c so that if extended names (i.e., configure --enable-tcap-names) are active, then tic will also write "obsolete" capabilities that are present in the terminfo source. + modify tic so that when running as captoinfo or infotocap, it initializes the output format as in -C and -I options, respectively. + improve infocmp and tic -f option by splitting long strings that do not have if-then-else construct, but do have parameters, e.g., the initc for xterm-88color. + refine MKtermsort.sh slightly by using bool for the *_from_termcap arrays. 19991127 + additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of clear_screen, clr_eol, clr_eos, scrolling) to work when assume_default_colors() is not specified. + several small changes to xterm terminfo entries -TD. + move logic for _nc_windows in lib_freeall.c inside check for nonnull SP, since it is part of that struct. + remove obsolete shlib-versions, which was unintentionally re-added in 970927. + modify infocmp -e, -E options to ensure that generated fallback.c type for Booleans agrees with term.h (reported by Eric Norum <eric@cls.usask.ca>). + correct configure script's use of $LIB_PREFIX, which did not work for installing the c++ directory if $libdir did not end with "/lib" (reported by Huy Le <huyle@ugcs.caltech.edu>). + modify infocmp so -L and -f options work together. + modify the initialization of SP->_color_table[] in start_color() so that color_content() will return usable values for COLORS greater than 8. + modify ncurses 'd' test in case COLORS is greater than 16, e.g., for xterm-88color, to limit the displayed/computed colors to 16. > patch by Juergen Pfeifer: + simplify coding of the panel library according to suggestions by Philippe Blain. + improve macro coding for a few macros in curses.priv.h 19991113 + modify treatment of color pair 0 so that if ncurses is configured to support default colors, and they are not active, then ncurses will set that explicitly, not relying on orig_colors or orig_pair. + add new extension, assume_default_colors() to provide better control over the use of default colors. + modify test programs to use more-specific ifdef's for existence of wresize(), resizeterm() and use_default_colors(). + modify configure script to add specific ifdef's for some functions that are included when --enable-ext-funcs is in effect, so their existence can be ifdef'd in the test programs. + reorder some configure options, moving those extensions that have evolved from experimental status into a new section. + change configure --enable-tcap-names to enable this by default. 19991106 + install tack's manpage (reported by Robert Weiner <robert@progplus.com>) + correct worm.c's handling of KEY_RESIZE (patch by Frank Heckenbach). + modify curses.h.in, undef'ing some symbols to avoid conflict with C++ STL (reported by Matt Gerassimoff <mgeras@ticon.net>) 19991030 + modify linux terminfo entry to indicate that dim does not mix with color (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@enteract.com>). + correct several typos in terminfo entries related to missing '[' in CSI's -TD + fix several compiler warnings in c++ binding (reported by Tim Mooney for alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f + rename parameter of _nc_free_entries() to accommodate lint. + correct lint rule for tack, used incorrect list of source files. + add case to config.guess, config.sub for Rhapsody. + improve configure tests for libg++ and libstdc++ by omitting the math library (which is missing on Rhapsody), and improved test for the math library itself (adapted from path by Nelson H. F. Beebe). + explicitly initialize to zero several data items which were implicitly initialized, e.g., cur_term. If not explicitly initialized, their storage type is C (common), and causes problems linking on Rhapsody 5.5 using gcc 2.7.2.1 (reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe). + modify Ada95 binding to not include the linker option for Ada bindings in the Ada headers, but in the Makefiles instead (patch by Juergen Pfeifer). 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 V Lukyanov). + simplify definition of PANEL and eliminate internal functions _nc_calculate_obscure(), _nc_free_obscure() and _nc_override(), (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, 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 (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 (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 (reported in Peter Edwards <peter.edwards@ireland.com> in mpc.lists.freebsd.current newsgroup. + 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 -TD > 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 (prompted by discussion with Alexander V 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 C 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 V 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 V 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 V 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 V 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 for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer): + 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 V Lukyanov). > patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer): + 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 for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer): + 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 V 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 V 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). Ilya says that he has seen messages claiming this behavior 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 C 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 V 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 V 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 (prompted by 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 (prompted by 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 V Lukyanov: + move base-library sources into ncurses/base and tty (serial terminal) sources into ncurses/tty, as part of Alexander V 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 V 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 C 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. 980912 + 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: + Added Francesco Potorti's tuned Wyse 99 entries. + dtterm enacs (from Alexander V Lukyanov). + Add ncsa-ns, ncsa-m-ns and ncsa-m entries from esr version. 980822 + 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. + make handling of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables more compatible with Solaris by allowing them to individually override the window size as obtained via ioctl. 980801 + modify lib_vidattr.c to allow for terminal types (e.g., xterm-color) which may reset all attributes in the 'op' capability, so that colors are set before turning on bold and other attributes, but still after turning attributes off. + add 'ditto.c' to test directory to illustrate use of newterm for initializing multiple screens. + 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 (Mike Hopkirk). + 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 downloaded from ESR's webpage (ESR). > 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 (ESR). 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.

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

quoting problem on SunOS with tar-copy.sh + correct init_pair() calls in worm.c to work when use_default_colors() is not available. + include <sys/types.h> in CF_SYS_TIME_SELECT to work with FreeBSD 2.1.5 + add ncv capability to FreeBSD console (cons25w), making reverse work with color. + correct sense of configure-test for sys/time.h inclusion with sys/select.h + fixes for Ada95/ada_include/Makefile.in to work with --srcdir option. + remove unused/obsolete test-program rules from progs/Makefile.in (the rules in ncurses/Makefile.in work). + remove shared-library loader flags from test/Makefile.in, etc. + simplify test/configure.in using new version of autoconf to create test/ncurses_cfg.h + suppress suffix rules in test/Makefile.in, provide explicit dependency to

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(). + reorganized some functions in lib_mouse() to use case-statements. + remove sgr string from qnx terminfo entry since it is reported to turn off attributes inconsistently. 980124 + add f/F/b/B commands to ncurses 'b' test to toggle colors, providing 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. + check for empty string in $TERM variable (reported by Brett Michaels <brett@xylan.com>). > from reports by Fred Fish: + add configure-test for isascii + add configure-test for -lm library. + modify CF_BOOL_SIZE to check if C++ bool types are unsigned. > patches by

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 (reference: 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 (patch from J.J.G.Ripoll).

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.

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>).

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 behavior 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 for glibc integration (H.J.Lu): + 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, 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 Kenneth Albanowski <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.

(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) -TD + 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 Alexander V Lukyanov). 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 Alexander V Lukyanov). + 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 > patch, mostly for panel (Juergen Pfeifer): + 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).

if it is enabled the stdscr will scroll when putting the box-corners in the lower-right of the screen. 960629 - snapshot + check return code of _nc_mvcur_scrolln() in _nc_scroll_optimize() for terminals with no scrolling-support (reported by Nikolay Shadrin <queen@qh.mirea.ac.ru>) + added ^S scrollok-toggle to ncurses 'g' test. + added ^T trace-toggle to ncurses tests. + modified ncurses test program to use ^Q or ESC consistently for terminating tests (rather than ^D), and to use control keys rather than function keys in 'g' test. + corrected misplaced wclrtoeol calls in addch to accommodate wrapping (reported by Philippe De Muyter). + modify lib_doupdate.c to use effective costs to tradeoff between delete-character/insert-character vs normal updating (reported by David MacKenzie). + compute effective costs for screen update operations (e.g., clr_eos, delete_character). + corrected error in knight.c exposed by wrap fixes in 960622; the msgwin needed scrollok set. + corrected last change to IDcTransformLine logic to avoid conflict between PutRange and InsStr + modified run_tic.sh to not use /usr/tmp (reported by David MacKenzie), and further revised it and aclocal.m4 to use $TMPDIR if set. + corrected off-by-one in RoomFor call in read_entry.c 960622 - snapshot + modified logic that wraps cursor in addch to follow the XSI spec, (implemented in SVr4) which states that the cursor position is updated when wrapping. Renamed _NEED_WRAP to _WRAPPED to reflect the actual semantics. + added -s option to tic, to provide better diagnostics in run_tic.sh + improved error-recovery for tabset install. + change ABI to 3.1 (dropped tparam, corrected getbkgd(), added _yoffset to WINDOW). + modified initialization of SP->_ofp so that init_acs() is called with the "right" file pointer (reported by Rick Marshall <rjm@nlc.net.au> + documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer). + corrected, using new SCREEN and WINDOW members, the behavior of ncurses if one uses ripoffline() to remove a line from the top of the screen (Juergen Pfeifer). + modified autoconf scripts to prepare for Ada95 (GNAT) binding to ncurses (Juergen Pfeifer). + incorrect buffer-size in _nc_read_entry, reported by ESR. 960617 + corrected two logic errors in read_entry.c, write_entry.c (called by tic, the write/read of terminfo entries used inconsistent rules for locating the entries; the $TERMINFO_DIRS code would find only the first entry in a list). + refined pathname computation in run_tic.sh and shlib. + corrected initialization of $IP in misc/run_tic.sh 960615 - snapshot + ifdef'd out _nc_hash_map() call because it does not improve speed. + display version of gcc if configure script identifies it. + modify configure script to use /usr as Linux's default prefix. + modify run_tic.sh to use shlib script, fixes some problems installing with a shared-library configuration. + adjusted configure script so that it doesn't run tests with the warnings turned on, which makes config.log hard to read. + added 'lint' rule to top-level Makefile. + added configure option '--with-install-prefix' for use by system builders to install into staging locations (requested by Charles Levert <charles@comm.polymtl.ca>). + corrected autoconfigure for Debian man program; it's not installed as "man_db". + set noecho in 'worm'; it was ifdef'd for debug only + updated test/configure.in for timing-display in ncurses 'p' test + corrected misspelled 'getbkgd()'. + 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. + correction to IDcTransformLine logic which controls where InsStr is invoked (refined by Alexander V Lukyanov). > patch 303 (ESR): + conditionally include Chris Torek's hash function _nc_hash_map(). + better fix for nvi refresh-bug (Rick Marshall) + fix for bug in handling of interrupted keystroke waits, (Werner Fleck). 960601 - snapshot + auto-configure man-page compression-format and renames for Debian. + corrected several typos in curses.h.in (i.e., the mvXXXX macros). + re-order curses.priv.h for lint. + added rules for lintlib, lint + corrected ifdef for BROKEN_LINKER in MKnames.awk.in + corrected missing INSTALL_DATA in misc/Makefile.in + flush output when changing cursor-visibility (Rick Marshall) + fix a minor bug in the _nc_ripoff() routine and improve error checking when creating the label window (Juergen Pfeifer). + enhancement to the control over the new PC-style soft key format. allow caller now to select whether or not one wants to have the index-line; see curs_slk.3x for documentation (Juergen Pfeifer). + typos, don't use inline with -g (Philippe De Muyter) + fixes for menus & wattr-, slk-functions (Juergen Pfeifer) 960526 - snapshot + removed --with-ticdir option altogether, maintain compatibility with existing applications via symbolic link in run_tic.sh + patch for termio.h, signal (Philippe De Muyter) + auto-configure gcc warning options rather than infer from version. + auto-configure __attribute__ for different gcc versions. + corrected special use of clearok() in hardscroll.c by resetting flag in wrefresh(). + include stdlib.h before defs for EXIT_SUCCESS, for OSF/1. + include sys/types.h in case stdlib.h does not declare size_t. + fixes for makefile (Tim Mooney) + fixes for menus & forms (Juergen Pfeifer) 960518 - snapshot + revised ncurses.c panner test, let pad abut all 4 sides of screen. + refined case in lib_doupdate.c for ClrToEOL(). + corrected prior change for PutRange (Alexander V Lukyanov <lav@yars.free.net>). + autoconf mods (Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>). + locale fix for forms (Philippe De Muyter <phdemuyt@ulb.ac.be>) + renamed "--with-datadir" option to "--with-ticdir" to avoid confusion, and made this check for the /usr/lib/terminfo pre-existing directory. > patches 299-301 (ESR): + added hashmap.c + mods to tracing, especially for ACS chars. + corrected off-by-one in IDCtransform. + corrected intermittent mouse bug by using return-value from read(). + mods to parse_entry.c, for smarter defaults. 960512 + use getopt in 'tic'; added -L option and modified -e option to allow list from a file. 960511 + don't use fixed buffer-size in tparm(). + modified tic to create terminfo directory if it doesn't exist. + added -T options to tic and infocmp (for testing/analysis) + refined the length criteria for termcap and terminfo + optimize lib_doupdate with memcpy, PutRange > patches 297, 298 (ESR): + implement TERMINFO_DIRS, and -o option of tic + added TRACE_IEVENT + removed boolean version of 'getm' + added lib_print.c (for Rick Marshall) + added has_key() + added 't' to ncurses.c test. + moved delay_output() to lib_tputs.c + removed tparam() (was added in 1.9.9, but conflicts with emacs and is not part of X/Open Curses). + misc cursor & optimization fixes. 960504 - snapshot + modified ncurses 'p' test to allow full-screen range for panner size. + fixes for locale (Philippe De Muyter <phdm@labauto1.ulb.ac.be>) + don't use fixed buffer-size in fmt_entry(). + added usage-message to 'infocmp'. + modified install.includes rules to prepend subdirectory-name to "#include" if needed. 960430 + protect wrefresh, wnoutrefresh from invocation with pad argument. + corrected default CCFLAGS in test/Makefile. 960428 - snapshot + implemented logic to support terminals with background color erase (e.g., rxvt and the newer color xterm). + improved screen update logic (off-by-one logic error; use clr_eos if possible) 960426 - snapshot + change ncurses 'a' test to run in raw mode. + make TIOCGWINSZ configure test less stringent, in case user configures via terminal that cannot get screen size. > patches 295, 296 (ESR): + new "-e" option of tic. + fix for "infocmp -e". + restore working-directory in read_termcap.c + split lib_kernel.c, lib_setup.c and names.c in order to reduce overhead for programs that use only termcap features. 960418 - snapshot + use autoconf 2.9 + fix for AIX 3.2.5 (must define _POSIX_SOURCE to get termios struct definitions via <termios.h>, modified macros in lib_raw.c to avoid K&R-style substitution) > patches 293, 294 (ESR): + mods to wgetch() in cooked mode + corrected askuser() logic in tset + correct interaction of endwin() with mouse processing + added trace support for TTY flags 960406 + fixes for NeXT, ISC and HPUX auto-configure + autogenerate development header-dependencies (config.h, *.priv.h) + corrected single-column formatting of "use=" (e.g., in tic) + modify tic to read full terminfo-names + corrected divide-by-zero that caused hang (or worse) when redirecting output + modify tic to generate directories only as-needed (and corrected instance of use of data from function that had already returned). ### ncurses-1.9.8a -> 1.9.9e * fixed broken wsyncup()/wysncdown(), as a result wnoutrefresh() now has copy-changed-lines behavior. * added and documented wresize() function. * more fixes to LOWER-RIGHT corner handling. * changed the line-breakout optimization code to allow some lines to be emitted before the first check. * added option for tic to use symbolic instead of hard links (for AFS) * fix to restore auto-wrap mode. * trace level can be controlled by environment variable. * better handling of NULs in terminal descriptions. * improved compatibility with observed SVR4 behavior. * the refresh behavior of over-lapping windows is now more efficient and behaves like SVR4. * use autoconf 2.7, which results in a working setup for SCO 5.0. * support for ESCDELAY. * small fixes for menu/form code. * the test directory has its own configure. * fixes to pads when optimizing scrolling. * fixed several off-by-one bugs. * fixes for termcap->terminfo translation; less restrictions more correct behavior. ### ncurses-1.9.7 -> 1.9.8a * teach infocmp -i to recognize ECMA highlight sequences * infocmp now dumps all SVr4 termcaps (not just the SVr4 ones) on -C * support infocmp -RBSD. * satisfy XSI Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function. * This represents the last big change to the public interface of ncurses. The ABI_VERSION has now been set at 3.0 and should stay there barring any great catastrophies or acts of God. * The C++ has been cleaned up in reaction to the changes to satisfy XSI's requirements. * libncurses now gets linked to libcurses to help seamless emulation (replacement) of a vendor's curses. --disable-overwrite turns this behavior off. ### ncurses-1.9.6 -> 1.9.7 * corrected return values of setupterm() * Fixed some bugs in tput (it does padding now) * fixed a bug in tic that made it do the wrong thing on entries with more than one `use' capability. * corrected the screen-size calculation at startup time to alter the numeric capabilities as per SVr4, not just LINES and COLS. * toe(1) introduced; does what infocmp -T used to. * tic(1) can now translate AIX box1 and font[0123] capabilities. * tic uses much less core, the dotic.sh kluge can go away now. * fix read_entry() and write_entry() to pass through cancelled capabilities OK. * Add $HOME/.terminfo as source/target directory for terminfo entries. * termcap compilation now automatically dumps an entry to $HOME/.terminfo. * added -h option to toe(1). * added -R option to tic(1) and infocmp(1). * added fallback-entry-list feature. * added -i option to infocmp(1). * do a better job at detecting if we're on SCO. ### ncurses-1.9.5 -> 1.9.6 * handling of TERMCAP environment variables now works correctly. * various changes to shorten termcap translations to less that 1024 chars. * tset(1) added * mouse support for xterm. * most data tables are now const and accordingly live in shareable text space. * Obey the XPG4/SVr4 practice that echo() is initally off. * tic is much better at translating XENIX and AIX termcap entries now. * tic can interpret ko capabilities now. * integrated Juergen Pfeifer's forms library. * taught write_entry() how not to write more than it needs to; this change reduces the size of the terminfo tree by a full 26%! * infocmp -T option added. * better warnings about historical tic quirks from tic. ### ncurses 1.9.4 -> 1.9.5 * menus library is now included with documentation. * lib_mvcur has been carefully profiled and tuned. * Fixed a ^Z-handling bug that was tanking lynx(1). * HJ Lu's patches for ELF shared libraries under Linux * terminfo.src 9.8.2 * tweaks for compiling in seperate directories. * Thomas Dickey's patches to support NeXT's brain-dead linker * Eric Raymond's patches to fix problems with long termcap entries. * more support for shared libraries under SunOS and IRIX. ### ncurses 1.9.3 -> 1.9.4 * fixed an undefined-order-of-evaluation bug in lib_acs.c * systematically gave non-API public functions and data an _nc_ prefix. * integrated Juergen Pfeifer's menu code into the distribution. * totally rewrote the knight test game's interface ### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.3 * fixed the TERMCAP_FILE Support. * fixed off-by-one errors in scrolling code * added tracemunch to the test tools * took steps to cut the running time of make install.data ### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.2d * revised 'configure' script to produce libraries for normal, debug, profile and shared object models. ### ncurses 1.9.1 -> 1.9.2 * use 'autoconf' to implement 'configure' script. * panels support added * tic now checks for excessively long termcap entries when doing translation * first cut at eliminating namespace pollution. ### ncurses 1.8.9 -> 1.9 * cleanup gcc warnings for the following: use size_t where 'int' is not appropriate, fixed some shadowed variables, change attr_t to compatible with chtype, use attr_t in some places where it was confused with 'int'. * use chtype/attr_t casts as appropriate to ensure portability of masking operations. * added-back waddchnstr() to lib_addstr.c (it had been deleted). * supplied missing prototypes in curses.h * include <termcap.h> in lib_termcap.c to ensure that the prototypes are consistent (they weren't). * corrected prototype of tputs in <termcap.h> * rewrote varargs parsing in lib_tparm.c (to avoid referencing memory that may be out of bounds on the stack) -- Purify found this. * ensure that TRACE is defined in lib_trace.c (to solve prototype warnings from gcc). * corrected scrolling-region size in 'mvcur_wrap()' * more spelling fixes * use 'calloc()' to allocate WINDOW struct in lib_newwin.c (Purify). * set default value for SP->_ofp in lib_set_term.c (otherwise SunOS dumps core in init_acs()). * include <errno.h> in write_entry.c (most "braindead" includes declare errno in that file). ### ncurses 1.8.8 -> 1.8.9 * compile (mostly) clean with gcc 2.5.8 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion and using __attribute__ to flush out non-portable use of "%x" for pointers, or for chtype data (which is declared as a long). * modified doupdate to ensure that typahead was turned on before attempting select-call (otherwise, some implementations hang). * added trace mask TRACE_FIFO, use this in lib_getch.c to allow finer resolution of traces. * improved bounds checking on several critical functions. * the data directory has been replaced by the new master terminfo file. * -F file-comparison option added to infocmp. * compatibility with XSI Curses is now documented in the man bages. * wsyncup/wsyncdown functions are reliable now; subwindow code in general is much less flaky. * capabilities ~msgr, tilde_glitch, insert_padding, generic_type, no_pad_char, memory_above, memory_below, and hard_copy are now used properly. * cursor-movement optimization has been completely rewritten. * vertical-movement optimization now uses hardware scrolling, il, dl. ### ncurses 1.8.7 -> 1.8.8 * untic no longer exists, infocmp replaces it. * tic can understand termcap now, especially if it is called captoinfo. * The Linux Standard Console terminfo entry is called linux insead of console. It also uses the kernel's new method of changing charsets. * initscr() will EXIT upon error (as the docs say) This wil mostly happen if you try to run on an undefined terminal. * I can get things running on AIX but tic can't compile terminfo. I have to compile entries on another machine. Volunteers to hunt this bug are welcome. * wbkgd() and wbkgdset() can be used to set a windows background to color. wclear()/werase() DO NOT use the current attribute to clear the screen. This is the way SVR4 curses works. PDCurses 2.1 is broken in this respect, though PDCurses 2.2 has been fixed. * cleaned up the test/ directory. * test/worm will segfault after quite a while. * many spelling corrections courtesy of Thomas E. Dickey ### ncurses 1.8.6 -> 1.8.7 * cleaned up programs in test/ directory. * fixed wbkgdset() macro. * modified getstr() to stop it from advancing cursor in noecho mode. * modified linux terminfo entry to work with the latest kernel to get the correct alternate character set. * also added a linux-mono entry for those running on monochrome screens. * changed initscr() so that it behaves like the man page says it does. this fixes the problem with programs in test/ crashing with SIGSEV if a terminal is undefined. * modified addch() to avoid using any term.h #define's * removed duplicate tgoto() in lib_tparm.c * modified dump_entry.c so that infocmp deals correctly with ',' in acsc * modified delwin() to correctly handle deleting subwindows. * fixed Makefile.dist to stop installing an empty curses.h * fixed a couple of out-of-date notes in man pages. ### ncurses 1.8.5 -> 1.8.6 * Implemented wbkgd(), bkgd(), bkgdset(), and wbkgdset(). * The handling of attributes has been improved and now does not turn off color if other attributes are turned off. * scrolling code is improved. Scrolling in subwindows is still broken. * Fixes to several bugs that manifest them on platforms other than Linux. * The default to meta now depends on the status of the terminal when ncurses is started. * The interface to the tracing facility has changed. Instead of the pair of functions traceon() and traceoff(), there is just one function trace() which takes a trace mask argument. The trace masks, defined in curses.h, are as follows: #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(). * moved screen size detection to lib_setup.c. * fixed newterm() to confirm to prototype. * removed SIGWINCH support as SYSV does not define its semantics. * cleaned-up lib_touch.c * added waddnstr() and relatives. * added slk_* support. * fixed a bug in wdeleteln(). * added PANEL library. * modified Makefile for smoother installation. * terminfo.h is really term.h #### ncurses 0.4 -> ncurses 0.5 #### Feb 14, 1993 #### * changed _win_st structure to allow support for missing functionality. * Addition of terminfo support for all KEY_*. * Support for nodelay(), timeout(), notimeout(). * fixed a bug with the keypad char reading that did not return ESC until another key is pressed. * nl mapping no longer occur on output (as should be) fixed bug '\n' no causing a LF. * fixed bug that reset terminal colors regardless of whether we use color or not. * Better support for ACS (not quite complete). * fixed bug in wvline(). * added curs_set(). * changed from signal() to sigaction(). * re-included the contents of important.patch into source. #### ncurses 0.3 -> ncurses 0.4 #### Feb 3, 1993 #### * Addition of more KEY_* definitions. * Addition of function prototypes. * Addition of several missing functions. * No more crashes if screen size is undefined (use SIGWINCH handler). * added a handler to cleanup after SIGSEGV (hopefully never needed). * changed SRCDIR from /etc/term to /usr/lib/terminfo. * renamed compile/dump to tic/untic. * New scrolling code. * fixed bug that reversed the sense of nl() and nonl(). #### ncurses 0.2 -> ncurses 0.3 #### Jan 20, 1993 #### * more support for color and graphics see test/ for examples. * fixed various files to allow correct update after shelling out. * more fixes for updates. * no more core dumps if you don't have a terminfo entry. * support for LINES and COLUMNS environment variables. * support for SIGWINCH signal. * added a handler for SIGINT for clean exits. #### ncurses 0.1 -> ncurses 0.2 #### Aug 14, 1992 #### * support for color. * support for PC graphic characters. * lib_trace.c updated to use stdarg.h and vprintf routines. * added gdc.c (Great Digital Clock) as an example of using color. #### ncurses -> ncurses 0.1 #### Jul 31, 1992 #### * replacing sgtty stuff by termios stuff. * ANSIfication of some functions. * Disabling cost analysis 'cause it's incorrect. * A quick hack for a terminfo entry. -- vile:txtmode: |
