This is a log of changes that ncurses has gone through since Zeyd started
working with Pavel Curtis' original work, pcurses, in 1992.

Changes through 1.9.9e are recorded by Zeyd M Ben-Halim.
Changes since 1.9.9e are recorded by Thomas 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.

20140308
	+ modify ifdef in read_entry.c to handle the case where
	  NCURSES_USE_DATABASE is not defined (patch by Xin Li).
	+ add cast in form_driver_w() to fix ARM build (patch by Xin Li).
	+ add logic to win_driver.c to save/restore screen contents when not
	  allocating a console-buffer (cf: 20140215).

20140301
	+ clarify error-returns from newwin (report by Ruslan Nabioullin).

20140222
	+ fix some compiler warnings in win_driver.c
	+ updated notes for wsvt25 based on tack and vttest -TD
	+ add teken entry to show actual properties of FreeBSD's "xterm"
	  console -TD

20140215
	+ in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
	  allocating a console-buffer.  This uses a pre-existing environment
	  variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
	  discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
	  when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
	+ add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
	  scrolling-stages.
	+ regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
	  html emitted by docbook.

20140209
	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
	  _XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined.  g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
	  has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
	  (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).

20140201
	+ add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
	  which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
	+ fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
	  representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
	  least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
	+ minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).

20140125
	+ remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
	  not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
	  new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
	  by Nicolas Boulenguez).

20140118
	+ apply includesubdir variable which was introduced in 20130805 to
	  gen-pkgconfig.in (Debian #735782).

20131221
	+ further improved man2html, used this to fix broken links in html
	  manpages.  See
	  ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/man2html

20131214
	+ modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
	  suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
	  --with-ospeed to not be a short.  By default, it is a short for
	  termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
	  Weisgerber).
	+ correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
	  cf: 20061230).
	+ fix a few -Wlogical-op warnings.
	+ updated llib-l* files.

20131207
	+ add form_driver_w() entrypoint to wide-character forms library, as
	  well as test program form_driver_w (adapted from patch by Gaute
	  Hope).

20131123
	+ minor fix for CF_GCC_WARNINGS to special-case options which are not
	  recognized by clang.

20131116
	+ add special case to configure script to move _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED 
	  definition from CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS if it happens to be needed for
	  Solaris, because g++ errors with that definition (report by
	  Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15268).
	+ correct logic in infocmp's -i option which was intended to ignore
	  strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing
	  together initialization- or reset-strings.  The problem dates to
	  1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for
	  gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman).
	+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, adding
	  checks for -Wextra, -Wignored-qualifiers and -Wlogical-op
	+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving
	  checks for -Wextra and -Wdeclaration-after-statement into the macro,
	  and adding checks for -Wignored-qualifiers, -Wlogical-op and
	  -Wvarargs
	+ updated CF_CURSES_UNCTRL_H and CF_SHARED_OPTS macros from ongoing
	  work on cdk.
	+ update config.sub from
		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git

20131110
	+ minor cleanup of terminfo.tail

20131102
	+ use TS extension to describe xterm's title-escapes -TD
	+ modify terminator and nsterm-s to use xterm+sl-twm building block -TD
	+ update hurd.ti, add xenl to reflect 2011-03-06 change in
	  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/hurd.git/log/console/display.c
	  (Debian #727119).
	+ simplify pfkey expression in ansi.sys -TD

20131027
	+ correct/simplify ifdef's for cur_term versus broken-linker and
	  reentrant options (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, cf: 20090530).
	+ modify release/version combinations in test build-scripts to make
	  them more consistent with other packages.

20131019
	+ add nc_mingw.h to installed headers for MinGW port; needed for
	  compiling ncurses-examples.
	+ add rpm-script for testing cross-compile of ncurses-examples.

20131014
	+ fix new typo in CF_ADA_INCLUDE_DIRS macro (report by Roumen Petrov).

20131012
	+ fix a few compiler warnings in progs and test.
	+ minor fix to package/debian-mingw/rules, do not strip dll's.
	+ minor fixes to configure script for empty $prefix, e.g., when doing
	  cross-compiles to MinGW.
	+ add script for building test-packages of binaries cross-compiled to
	  MinGW using NSIS.

20131005
	+ minor fixes for ncurses-example package and makefile.
	+ add scripts for test-builds of cross-compiler packages for ncurses6
	  to MinGW.

20130928
	+ some build-fixes for ncurses-examples with NetBSD-6.0 curses, though
	  it lacks some common functions such as use_env() which is not yet
	  addressed.
	+ build-fix and some compiler warning fixes for ncurses-examples with
	  OpenBSD 5.3
	+ fix a possible null-pointer reference in a trace message from newterm.
	+ quiet a few warnings from NetBSD 6.0 namespace pollution by
	  nonstandard popcount() function in standard strings.h header.
	+ ignore g++ 4.2.1 warnings for "-Weffc++" in c++/cursesmain.cc
	+ fix a few overlooked places for --enable-string-hacks option.

20130921
	+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130831).
	+ build-fix for --with-shared option for DragonFly and FreeBSD (report
	  by Rong-En Fan, cf: 20130727).

20130907
	+ build-fixes for MSYS for two test-programs (patches by Ray Donnelly,
	  Alexey Pavlov).
	+ revert change to two of the dpkg format files, to work with dpkg
	  before/after Debian #700177.
	+ fix gcc -Wconversion warning in wattr_get() macro.
	+ add msys and msysdll to known host/configuration types (patch by
	  Alexey Pavlov).

	+ modify test/ncurses.c b/B tests to display lines only for the
	  attributes which a given terminal supports, to make room for an
	  italics test.
	+ completed ncv table in terminfo.tail; it did not list the wide
	  character codes listed in X/Open Curses issue 7.
	+ add A_ITALIC extension (prompted by discussion with Egmont Koblinger).

20130824
	+ fix some gcc 4.8 -Wconversion warnings.
	+ change format of dpkg test-scripts to quilted to work around bug
	  introduced by Debian #700177.
	+ discard cached keyname() values if meta() is changed after a value
	  was cached using (report by Kurban Mallachiev).

20130816
	+ add checks in tic to warn about terminals which lack cursor
	  addressing, capabilities or having those, are marked as hard_copy or
	  generic_type.
	+ use --without-progs in mingw-ncurses rpm.
	+ split out _nc_init_termtype() from alloc_entry.c to use in MinGW
	  port when tic and other programs are not needed.

20130805
	+ minor fixes to the --disable-overwrite logic, to ensure that the
	  configured $(includedir) is not cancelled by the mingwxx-filesystem
	  rpm macros.
	+ add --disable-db-install configure option, to simplify building
	  cross-compile support packages.
	+ add mingw-ncurses.spec file, for testing cross-compiles.

20130727
	+ improve configure macros from ongoing work on cdk, dialog, xterm:
	  + CF_ADD_LIB_AFTER - fix a problem with -Wl options
	  + CF_RPATH_HACK - add missing result-message
	  + CF_SHARED_OPTS - modify to use $rel_builddir in cygwin and mingw
	    dll symbols (which can be overridden) rather than explicit "../".
	  + CF_SHARED_OPTS - modify NetBSD and DragonFly symbols to use ${CC}
	    rather than ${LD} to improve rpath support.
	  + CF_SHARED_OPTS - add a symbol to denote the temporary files that
	    are created by the macro, to simplify clean-rules.
	  + CF_X_ATHENA - trim extra libraries to work with -Wl,--as-needed
	+ fix a regression in hashed-database support for NetBSD, which uses
	  the key-size differently from other implementations (cf: 20121229).

20130720
	+ further improvements for setupterm manpage, clarifying the
	  initialization of cur_term.

20130713
	+ improve manpages for initscr and setupterm.
	+ minor compiler-warning fixes

20130706
	+ add fallback defs for <inttypes.h> and <stdint.h> (cf: 20120225).
	+ add check for size of wchar_t, use that to suppress a chunk of
	  wcwidth.h in MinGW port.
	+ quiet linker warnings for MinGW cross-compile with dll's using the

	+ build-fix for a case where --enable-broken_linker and
	  --enable-reentrant options are combined (report by George R Goffe).

20130525
	+ modify mvcur() to distinguish between internal use by the ncurses
	  library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content
	  of the screen which is only nonblank when curses calls have updated
	  it.  This makes test/dots_mvcur.c avoid painting colored cells in
	  the left margin of the display.
	+ minor fix to test/dots_mvcur.c
	+ move configured symbols USE_DATABASE and USE_TERMCAP to term.h as

	  prevented inserts when video attributes were attached to the data
	  (cf: 20121215) (Redhat #959534).

20130504
	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
	  + correct FNKEY() macro in progs/dump_entry.c, allowing kf11-kf63 to
	    display when infocmp's -R option is used for HP or AIX subsets.
	  + fix dead-code issue with test/movewindow.c
	  + improve limited-checking in _nc_read_termtype().

20130427
	+ fix clang 3.2 warning in progs/dump_entry.c
	+ drop AC_TYPE_SIGNAL check; ncurses relies on c89 and later.

20130413

	  (prompted by discussion with Daniel Silva Ferreira).
	+ add -D option to infocmp's usage-message (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).

	  c++/Makefile.in to accommodate gmake (report by Dmitri Gribenko).

20130406
	+ improve parameter checking in copywin().
	+ modify configure script to work around OS X's "libtool" program, to
	  choose glibtool instead.  At the same time, chance the autoconf macro
	  to look for a "tool" rather than a "prog", to help with potential use
	  in cross-compiling.
	+ separate the rpath usage for c++ library from demo program
	  (Redhat #911540)
	+ update/correct header-dependencies in c++ makefile (report by Werner
	  Fink).
	+ add --with-cxx-shared to dpkg-script, as done for rpm-script.

20130324
	+ build-fix for libtool configuration (reports by Daniel Silva Ferreira
	  and Roumen Petrov).

20130323
	+ build-fix for OS X, to handle changes for --with-cxx-shared feature
	  (report by Christian Ebert).
	+ change initialization for vt220, similar entries for consistency
	  with cursor-key strings (NetBSD #47674) -TD
	+ further improvements to linux-16color (Benjamin Sittler)

20130316

	+ add blink to the attributes masked by ncv in linux-16color (report
	  by Benjamin Sittler)
	+ improve warning message from post-load checking for missing "%?"
	  operator by tic/infocmp by showing the entry name and capability.
	+ minor formatting improvement to tic/infocmp -f option to ensure
	  line split after "%;".
	+ amend scripting for --with-cxx-shared option to handle the debug
	  library "libncurses++_g.a" (report by Sven Joachim).

20130309
	+ amend change to toe.c for reading from /dev/zero, to ensure that
	  there is a buffer for the temporary filename (cf: 20120324).
	+ regenerated html manpages.
	+ fix typo in terminfo.head (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130302).
	+ updated some autoconf macros:
	  + CF_ACVERSION_CHECK, from byacc 1.9 20130304
	  + CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217
	+ add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building
	  libncurses++ as a shared library when using g++, e.g., the same
	  limitations as libtool but better integrated with the usual build
	  configuration (Redhat #911540).
	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to filter out build-path which was unnecessarily
	  shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).

20130302
	+ add section to terminfo manpage discussing user-defined capabilities.
	+ update manpage description of NCURSES_NO_SETBUF, explaining why it
	  is obsolete.
	+ add a check in waddch_nosync() to ensure that tab characters are
	  treated as control characters; some broken locales claim they are
	  printable.
	+ add some traces to the Windows console driver.
	+ initialize a temporary array in _nc_mbtowc, needed for some cases
	  of raw input in MinGW port.

20130218
	+ correct ifdef on change to lib_twait.c (report by  Werner Fink).
	+ update config.guess, config.sub

20130216
	+ modify test/testcurs.c to work with mouse for ncurses as it does for
	  pdcurses.
	+ modify test/knight.c to work with mouse for pdcurses as it does for
	  ncurses.
	+ modify internal recursion in wgetch() which handles cooked mode to
	  check if the call to wgetnstr() returned an error.  This can happen
	  when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by
	  Nils Christopher Brause) (cf: 960418).
	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
	  + add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS()
	  + fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer
	    use after free.
	  + improve a limit-check in make_hash.c
	  + fix a memory leak in hashed_db.c

20130209
	+ modify test/configure script to make it simpler to override names
	  of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in
	  MinGW environment.
	+ if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
	  no corresponding compiled-in value for that.  Fill in "no default
	  value" for that part of the manpage substitution.

20130202
	+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
	  an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
	+ improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.

20130126
	+ further fixes to mvcur to pass callback function (cf: 20130112),
	  needed to make test/dots_mvcur work.
	+ reduce calls to SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer in win_driver.c, to
	  help reduce flicker.
	+ modify configure script to omit "+b" from linker options for very
	  old HP-UX systems (report by Dennis Grevenstein)

	  by Dennis Grevenstein).
	+ restore memmove/strdup support for antique systems (request by
	  Dennis Grevenstein).
	+ change %l behavior in tparm to push the string length onto the stack
	  rather than saving the formatted length into the output buffer
	  (report by Roy Marples, cf: 980620).

20130119
	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
	  + fix memory leak in safe_sprintf.c
	  + add check for return-value in tty_update.c
	  + correct initialization for -s option in test/view.c
	  + add check for numeric overflow in lib_instr.c
	  + improve error-checking in copywin
	+ add advice in infocmp manpage for termcap users (Debian #698469).
	+ add "-y" option to test/demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo to
	  demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities.
	+ updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for
	  matching capability names.
	+ modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
	  applications as well as to improve compatbility with BSD 4.2
	  termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).

20130112
	+ correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
	+ drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
	  are unused in the current driver model.
	+ modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
	  library.
	+ modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
	+ amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
	  putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
	  The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).

20130105
	+ add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
	  mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
	  MinGW changes.
	+ revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c
	+ add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of
	  screen updates.  This does not yet work with double-width characters,
	  so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin
	  Waterlander regarding screen flicker).

20121229
	+ fix coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers.
	+ add throw-declarations in the c++ binding per Coverity warning.
	+ minor changes to new-items for consistent reference to bug-report

	  available in all Mac OS X configurations (report by Andras Salamon,
	  cf: 20011208).
	+ improve 20021221 workaround for broken acs, handling a case where
	  that ACS_xxx character is not in the acsc string but there is a known
	  wide-character which can be used.

20121215
	+ fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting
	  a null-pointer check in _nc_mvcur_resume.
	+ correct display of double-width characters with MinGW port (report
	  by Erwin Waterlander).
	+ replace MinGW's wcrtomb(), fixing a problem with _nc_viscbuf 
	> fixes based on Coverity report:
	+ correct coloring in test/bs.c
	+ correct check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch().
	+ remove dead code in progs/tset.c, test/linedata.h
	+ add null-pointer checks in lib_tracemse.c, panel.priv.h, and some
	  test-programs.

20121208
	+ modify test/knight.c to show the number of choices possible for
	  each position in automove option, e.g., to allow user to follow
	  Warnsdorff's rule to solve the puzzle.
	+ modify test/hanoi.c to show the minimum number of moves possible for
	  the given number of tiles (prompted by patch by Lucas Gioia).
	> fixes based on Coverity report:
	+ remove a few redundant checks.
	+ correct logic in test/bs.c, when randomly placing a specific type of
	  ship.

	+ set umask when calling mkstemp in tic.
	+ initialize wbkgrndset() temporary variable when extended-colors are
	  used.

20121201
	+ also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
	+ modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
	  regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
	  do not work.

20121124
	+ correct order of color initialization versus display in some of the
	  test-programs, e.g., test_addstr.c
	> fixes based on Coverity report:
	+ delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.

20121117
	> fixes based on Coverity report:
	+ add missing braces around FreeAndNull in two places.
	+ various fixes in test/ncurses.c

	+ fix memory-leak in tinfo/lib_setup.c, progs/toe.c,
	  test/clip_printw.c, test/demo_menus.c
	+ delete unused windows in test/chgat.c, test/clip_printw.c,
	  test/insdelln.c, test/newdemo.c on error-return.

20121110
	+ modify configure macro CF_INCLUDE_DIRS to put $CPPFLAGS after the
	  local -I include options in case someone has set conflicting -I
	  options in $CPPFLAGS (prompted by patch for ncurses/Makefile.in by
	  Vassili Courzakis).
	+ modify the ncurses*-config scripts to eliminate relative paths from
	  the RPATH_LIST variable, e.g., "../lib" as used in installing shared
	  libraries or executables.

20121102
	+ realign these related pages:
	    curs_add_wchstr.3x
	    curs_addchstr.3x
	    curs_addstr.3x
	    curs_addwstr.3x
	  and fix a long-ago error in curs_addstr.3x which said that a -1
	  length parameter would only write as much as fit onto one line
	  (report by Reuben Thomas).
	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_memmove() for memmove()/bcopy().
	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
	+ cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
	+ reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
	  based on testing with tack -TD
	+ un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
	  starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD

20121026
	+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
	  #866989).
	+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
	+ updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST.  The
	  first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.

20121017
	+ fix change to _nc_scroll_optimize(), which incorrectly freed memory 
	  (Redhat #866989).

20121013
	+ add vte-2012, gnome-2012, making these the defaults for vte/gnome
	  (patch by Christian Persch).

20121006
	+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
	  --version message.
	+ improve configure macros as done in byacc:
	  + drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
	    has used that for a while.
	  + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
	    for experimental use.
	  + remove unused configure macros.
	+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
	  for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
	+ modify configure script to show $PATH_SEPARATOR variable.

	  use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
	  "#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
	+ undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
	  older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).

	+ add test-screens to test/ncurses to show 256-characters at a time,
	  to help with MinGW port.

20120903
	+ simplify varargs logic in lib_printw.c; va_copy is no longer needed
	  there.
	+ modifications for MinGW port to make wide-character display usable.

20120902
	+ regenerate configure script (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20120901).

20120901
	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_flush (cf: 20120825).
	+ fix a case in _nc_scroll_optimize() where the _oldnums_list array
	  might not be allocated.
	+ improve comparisons in configure.in for unset shell variables.

20120826
	+ increase size of ncurses' output-buffer, in case of very small
	  initial screen-sizes.
	+ fix evaluation of TERMINFO and TERMINFO_DIRS default values as needed
	  after changes to use --datarootdir (reports by Gabriele Balducci,
	  Roumen Petrov).

20120825
	+ change output buffering scheme, using buffer maintained by ncurses
	  rather than stdio, to avoid problems with SIGTSTP handling (report
	  by Brian Bloniarz).

20120811
	+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20120811, adding --datarootdir
	  (prompted by discussion with Erwin Waterlander).
	+ improve description of --enable-reentrant option in README and the

20120804
	+ update test/configure, adding check for tinfo library.
	+ improve limit-checks for the getch fifo (report by Werner Fink).
	+ fix a remaining mismatch between $with_echo and the symbols updated
	  for CF_DISABLE_ECHO affecting parameters for mk-2nd.awk (report by
	  Sven Joachim, cf:  20120317).
	+ modify followup check for pkg-config's library directory in the
	  --enable-pc-files option to validate syntax (report by Sven Joachim,
	  cf: 20110716).

20120728
	+ correct path for ncurses_mingw.h in include/headers, in case build
	  is done outside source-tree (patch by Roumen Petrov).
	+ modify some older xterm entries to align with xterm source -TD
	+ separate "xterm-old" alias from "xterm-r6" -TD
	+ add E3 extended capability to xterm-basic and putty -TD
	+ parenthesize parameters of other macros in curses.h -TD
	+ parenthesize parameter of COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER in curses.h
	  in case it happens to be a comma-expression, etc.  (patch by Nick
	  Black).

	+ eliminate two fixed-size buffers in toe.c
	+ extend use_tioctl() to have expected behavior when use_env(FALSE) and
	  use_tioctl(TRUE) are called.
	+ modify ncurses test-program, adding -E and -T options to demonstrate
	  use_env() versus use_tioctl().

20120714
	+ add use_tioctl() function (adapted from patch by Werner Fink,
	  Novell #769788):

20120707
	+ add ncurses_mingw.h to installed headers (prompted by patch by
	  Juergen Pfeifer).
	+ clarify return-codes from wgetch() in response to SIGWINCH (prompted
	  by Novell #769788).
	+ modify resizeterm() to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo, even
	  if screensize is unchanged.  Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
	  KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
	  resizeterm().  These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
	  received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
	  dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).

20120630
	+ add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
	  Pfeifer).
	+ update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.
	+ modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though
	  some work is needed on cproto to work with lib_gen.c to update
	  llib-lncurses.
	+ remove redundant getenv() cal in database-iterator leftover from
	  cleanup in 20120622 changes (report by Sven Joachim).

	+ add -d, -e and -q options to test/demo_terminfo and test/demo_termcap
	+ fix caching of environment variables in database-iterator (patch by
	  Philippe Troin, Redhat #831366).

20120616
	+ add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate
	  warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings
	  are enabled.
	+ improve behavior when updating terminfo entries which are hardlinked
	  by allowing for the possibility that an alias has been repurposed to
	  a new primary name.
	+ fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts.
	+ further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).

20120608
	+ fix an uninitialized variable in -c/-n logic for infocmp changes
	  (cf: 20120526).
	+ corrected fix for building c++ binding with clang 3.0 (report/patch
	  by Richard Yao, Gentoo #417613, cf: 20110409)
	+ correct configure check for working poll, fixing the case where stdin
	  is redirected, e.g., in rpm/dpkg builds (Debian #676461).
	+ add rpm- and dpkg-scripts, to test those build-environments.
	  The resulting packages are used only for testing.

20120602
	+ add kdch1 aka "Remove" to vt220 and vt220-8 entries -TD
	+ add kdch1, etc., to qvt108 -TD
	+ add dl1/il1 to some entries based on dl/il values -TD
	+ add dl to simpleterm -TD

	  controls, and insert/delete-char keys
	+ correct no-leaks logic in infocmp when doing comparisons, fixing
	  duplicate free of entries given via the command-line, and freeing
	  entries loaded from the last-but-one of files specified on the
	  command-line.
	+ add kdch1 to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (reported by David Lord,
	  analysis by Martin Husemann).
	+ add cnorm/civis to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (report/analysis by
	  Onno van der Linden).

20120526
	+ extend -c and -n options of infocmp to allow comparing more than two
	  entries.
	+ correct check in infocmp for number of terminal names when more than
	  two are given.
	+ correct typo in curs_threads.3x (report by Yanhui Shen on
	  freebsd-hackers mailing list).

20120512
	+ corrected 'op' for bterm (report by Samuel Thibault) -TD
	+ modify test/background.c to demonstrate a background character
	  holding a colored ACS_HLINE.  The behavior differs from SVr4 due to
	  the thick- and double-line extension (cf: 20091003).
	+ modify handling of acs characters in PutAttrChar to avoid mapping an
	  unmapped character to a space with A_ALTCHARSET set.
	+ rewrite vt520 entry based on vt420 -TD

20120505
	+ remove p6 (bold) from opus3n1+ for consistency -TD
	+ remove acs stuff from env230 per clues in Ingres termcap -TD
	+ modify env230 sgr/sgr0 to match other capabilities -TD
	+ modify smacs/rmacs in bq300-8 to match sgr/sgr0 -TD
	+ make sgr for dku7202 agree with other caps -TD
	+ make sgr for ibmpc agree with other caps -TD
	+ make sgr for tek4107 agree with other caps -TD
	+ make sgr for ndr9500 agree with other caps -TD
	+ make sgr for sco-ansi agree with other caps -TD

	+ make sgr for d210 agree with other caps -TD
	+ make sgr for d470c, d470c-7b agree with other caps -TD
	+ remove redundant AC_DEFINE for NDEBUG versus Makefile definition.
	+ fix a back-link in _nc_delink_entry(), which is needed if ncurses is
	  configured with --enable-termcap and --disable-getcap.

20120428
	+ fix some inconsistencies between vt320/vt420, e.g., cnorm/civis -TD
	+ add eslok flag to dec+sl -TD
	+ dec+sl applies to vt320 and up -TD
	+ drop wsl width from xterm+sl -TD
	+ reuse xterm+sl in putty and nsca-m -TD
	+ add ansi+tabs to vt520 -TD
	+ add ansi+enq to vt220-vt520 -TD
	+ fix a compiler warning in example in ncurses-intro.doc (Paul Waring).
	+ added paragraph in keyname manpage telling how extended capabilities
	  are interpreted as key definitions.
	+ modify tic's check of conflicting key definitions to include extended
	  capability strings in addition to the existing check on predefined
	  keys.

20120421
	+ improve cleanup of temporary files in tic using atexit().
	+ add msgr to vt420, similar DEC vtXXX entries -TD
	+ add several missing vt420 capabilities from vt220 -TD
	+ factor out ansi+pp from several entries -TD
	+ change xterm+sl and xterm+sl-twm to include only the status-line
	  capabilities and not "use=xterm", making them more generally useful
	  as building-blocks -TD
	+ add dec+sl building block, as example -TD

20120414
	+ add XT to some terminfo entries to improve usefulness for other
	  applications than screen, which would like to pretend that xterm's
	  title is a status-line.  -TD
	+ change use-clauses in ansi-mtabs, hp2626, and hp2622 based on review
	  of ordering and overrides -TD
	+ add consistency check in tic for screen's "XT" capability.
	+ add section in terminfo.src summarizing the user-defined capabilities
	  used in that file -TD

20120407
	+ fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all
	  non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
	  definable capabilities.
	+ improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
	  followed by terminfo capabilities.  Previously the description had to
	  be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
	  between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
	  embedded in the description.
	+ correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
	  the --with-xterm-kbs option.
	+ revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD
	+ further amend 20110910 change, providing for configure-script
	  override of the "linux" terminfo entry to install and changing the
	  default for that to "linux2.2" (Debian #665959).

20120331
	+ update Ada95/configure to use CF_DISABLE_ECHO (cf: 20120317).
	+ correct order of use-clauses in st-256color -TD
	+ modify configure script to look for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding
	  is built, in preference to the default gcc/cc (suggested by
	  Nicolas Boulenguez).
	+ modify configure script to ensure that the same -On option used for
	  the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply
	  using "-O3" (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)

20120324
	+ amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
	  e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
	+ modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
	  a character device.  Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
	  the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
	  Joachim) (cf: 20000923).

20120317
	+ correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
	  can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).
	+ add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
	  (cf: 20040327).
	+ correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure.
	+ amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is
	  reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206).
	+ add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO.

20120310
	+ fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
	+ use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
	+ improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):

20120303
	+ minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
	  regarding mapping of \0 to \200
	+ minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
	  loops.
	+ fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
	  calls to setupterm().
	+ modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
	  debug-trace.
	> merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
	+ ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
	+ ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
	  runtime linker
	+ ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
	  fallback entries

20120228
	+ fix breakage in tic/infocmp from 20120225 (report by Werner Fink).

20120225
	+ modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when
	  cross-compiling.
	+ add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and
	  strlcpy may be used.  The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings
	  about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized.
	+ add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help
	  reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
	+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
	  (cf:20111231)
	+ update config.guess, config.sub

20120218
	+ correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on
	  the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie).
	+ improve configure macro CF_MKSTEMP by moving existence-check for
	  mkstemp out of the AC_TRY_RUN, to help with cross-compiles.
	+ improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect
	  broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X.
	+ add configure option --with-tparm-arg
	+ build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not
	  depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008).

20120211
	+ make sgr for xterm-pcolor agree with other caps -TD
	+ make sgr for att5425 agree with other caps -TD

	  better diagnostics.

20120128
	+ add mach-gnu (Debian #614316, patch by Samuel Thibault)
	+ add mach-gnu-color, tweaks to mach-gnu terminfo -TD
	+ make sgr for sun-color agree with smso -TD
	+ make sgr for prism9 agree with other caps -TD
	+ make sgr for icl6404 agree with other caps -TD
	+ make sgr for ofcons agree with other caps -TD

	+ make sgr for aaa-unk, aaa-rv agree with other caps -TD
	+ make sgr for avt-ns agree with other caps -TD
	+ amend fix intended to separate fixups for acsc to allow "tic -cv" to
	  give verbose warnings (cf:  20110730). 
	+ modify misc/gen-edit.sh to make the location of the tabset directory
	  consistent with misc/Makefile.in, i.e., using ${datadir}/tabset
	  (Debian #653435, patch by Sven Joachim).

20120121
	+ add --with-lib-prefix option to allow configuring for old/new flavors
	  of OS/2 EMX.
	+ modify check for gnat version to allow for year, as used in FreeBSD
	  port.
	+ modify check_existence() in db_iterator.c to simply check if the
	  path is a directory or file, according to the need.  Checking for
	  directory size also gives no usable result with OS/2 (cf: 20120107).
	+ support OS/2 kLIBC (patch by KO Myung-Han).

20120114
	+ several improvements to test/movewindow.c (prompted by discussion on
	  Linux Mint forum):
	  + modify movement commands to make them continuous
	  + rewrote the test for mvderwin
	  + rewrote the test for recursive mvwin
