> merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
+ support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer. The test programs
such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
this feature.
+ the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
+ other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
ncurses library work as expected.
+ applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
+ in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
+ because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
+ the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
+ the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
wide-character configuration to 32768.
- Add ncurses patch 20180120
+ build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence.
+ add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts.
+ modify ncurses-examples to install test-scripts in the data directory.
+ work around tool-breakage in Debian 9 and later by invoking
gprconfig to specify the C compiler to be used by gnatmake,
and conditionally suppressing Library_Options line for static
libraries.
+ bump the compat level for test-packages to 7, i.e., Debian 5.
- Add tack patch 1.08-20170818
* Tue Jan 09 2018 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20180106
+ fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin.
+ modify test/savescreen.c to add test patterns that exercise 88-,
256-, etc., colors.
+ modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99
as possible default values.
+ modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
handling of the curses/ncurses library.
+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
configured to access it via weak symbols.
+ simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker
checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
behavior.
+ update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
+ modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE. The symbol is
needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
+ generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
(report by Jeffrey Walton).
* Mon Jan 08 2018 [email protected]

+ consistently add $CFLAGS to $MK_SHARED_LIB symbol in configure
script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than
directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton).
+ set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in "*.map" files. While there are
some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are
anticipated.
+ add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
conflict with Redhat packages versus test-packages.
- Add ncurses patch 20171223

avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent
if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder,
OpenSuSE #1070450).
+ minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.

function in link_test.c
+ updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
+ modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case

linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
+ add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
* Mon Nov 27 2017 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20171125

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

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

* Mon Oct 09 2017 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20171007
+ modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
+ review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.
+ amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the
database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable
terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen).

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

which was inconsistent with the normal implementation.
+ save/restore cursor position in Undo_Justification(), matching
behavior of Buffer_To_Window() (report by Leon Winter).
+ modify test/knight to provide the "slow" solution for small screens
using "R", noting that Warnsdorf's method is easily done with "a".
+ modify several test-programs which call use_default_colors() to
consistently do this only if "-d" option is given.
+ additional changes to test with non-standard variants of curses:
+ modify a loop limit in firework.c to work around absense of limit

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

+ minor fixes to "RDGB" extension and reset_color_pairs().
* Mon Aug 14 2017 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20170812
+ improve description of -R option in infocmp manual page (report by
Stephane Chazelas).
+ add reset_color_pairs() function.
+ add user_caps.5 manual page to document the terminfo extensions used
by ncurses.
+ improve build scripts, using SIGQUIT vs SIGTRAP; add other configure
script fixes from work on xterm, lynx and tack.
+ modify install-rule for ncurses-examples to put the data files in
/usr/share/ncurses-examples
+ improve tracemunch, by changing address-parameters of add_wch(),
color_content() and pair_content() to dummy parameters.
+ minor optimization to _nc_change_pair, to return quickly when the
current screen is marked for clearing.
+ in-progress changes to improve performance of test/picsmap.c for
loading image files.
+ modify allocation for SCREEN's color-pair table to start small, grow
on demand up to the existing limit.
+ add "RGB" extension capability for direct-color support, use this to
improve color_content().
+ improve picsmap test-program:
+ if no palette file is needed, attempt to load one based on $TERM,
checking first in the current directory, then by adding ".dat"
suffix, and finally in the data-directory, e.g.,
/usr/share/ncurses-examples
+ add "-l" option for logging
+ add "-d" option for debugging
+ add "-s" option for stepping automatically through list of images,
with time delay.
+ use tsearch to improve time for loading color table for images.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
* Mon Jul 31 2017 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20170729
+ update interix entry using tack and SFU on Windows 7 Ultimate -TD
+ use ^? for kdch1 in interix (reported by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard)
+ add "rep" to xterm-new, available since 1997/01/26 -TD
+ move SGR 24 and 27 from vte-2014 to vte-2012 (request by Alain
Williams) -TD
+ add a check in newline_forces_scroll() in case a program moves the
cursor outside scrolling margins (report by Robert King).
+ improve _nc_tparm_analyze, using that to extend the checks made by
tic for reporting inconsistencies between the expected number of
parameters for a capability and the actual.
+ amend handling of repeat_char capability in EmitRange (adapted from
report/patch by Dick Wesseling):
+ translate the character to the alternate character set when the
alternate character set is enabled.
+ do not use repeat_char for characters past 255.
+ document "_nc_free_tinfo" in manual page, because it could be used in
tack for memory-leak checking.
+ add "--without-tack" configure option to refine "--with-progs"
configure option. Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but
a few packagers combine it during the build. If term_entry.h is
installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds.
+ adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol
needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree. Rather than relying upon
internal "_nc_" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and
string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix
curses. It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the
extended capability arrays.
+ add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722
- Modify patch ncurses-5.7-tack.dif and ncurses-6.0.dif to get
position independent executables as well
* Mon Jul 24 2017 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20170722
+ improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian
+ modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where
the screen was never initialized, using that to trigger a flush of
ncurses' buffer for mvcur, e.g., in test/dots_mvcur.c for the
term-driver configuration.
+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to a few other internal header
files to allow each to be compiled separately.
+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to tic's header-files; any program
using tic-library will have to supply this file. Legacy tack
versions supply this file; ongoing tack development has dropped the
dependency upon tic-library and new releases will not be affected.
* Tue Jul 18 2017 [email protected]
- Fix build by removing workaround in patch ncurses-5.7-tack.dif
which was required since patch 20170415 but had become obsolete
with patch 20170715
* Mon Jul 17 2017 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20170715
+ modify command-line parameters for "convert" used in picsmap to work
with ImageMagick 6.8 and newer.

- Add ncurses patch 20170701 (bsc#1046853, bsc#1046858)
+ modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment
variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an
application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux).
+ remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver
configuration; none is needed.
+ add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c
+ improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr,
fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did
not work (cf: 20160213).
+ the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently
reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer
reproducible. Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports
showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is
addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer.
+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
(Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691).
+ alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer.
+ parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as
one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not
treated as the 2-character termcap short-name.
+ fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq).
+ improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names.
+ fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu()
+ further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
(report by Allen Hewes).
* Sun Jun 25 2017 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20170624
+ modify c++/etip.h.in to accommodate deprecation of throw() and
throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler).
+ remove some incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
(report by Allen Hewes).
+ add test-programs for termattrs and term_attrs.
+ modify _nc_outc_wrapper to use the standard output if the screen was
not initialized, rather than returning an error.
+ improve checks for low-level terminfo functions when the terminal
has not been initialized (Redhat #1345963).
+ modify make_hash to allow building with address-sanitizer,
assuming that --disable-leaks is configured.
+ amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined
behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
* Wed Jun 21 2017 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20170617

(report by Allen Hewes).
+ use ExitTerminfo() internally in error-exits for ncurses' setupterm
to help with leak checking.
+ use ExitProgram() in error-exit from initscr() to help with leak
checking.
+ review test-programs, adding checks for cases where the terminal
cannot be initialized.
* Mon Jun 12 2017 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20170610

- Add ncurses patch 20170603
+ add option to picsmap to use color-palette files, e.g., for mapping
to xterm-256color.
+ move the data in SCREEN used for the alloc_pair() function to the
end, to restore compatibility between ncurses/ncursesw libtinfo
(report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ add build-time utility "report_offsets" to help show when the various
configurations of tinfo library are compatible or not.
- Remove patch ncurses-6.0-crashw.patch as a temporary as now part
of patch level 20170603
* Tue May 30 2017 [email protected]

become part of next patch level: solve binary incompatiblity of
libtinfow and libtinfo
* Mon May 29 2017 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20170527
+ improved test/picsmap.c:
+ lookup named colors for xpm files in rgb.txt
+ accept blanks in color-keys for xpm files.
+ if neither xbm/xpm work, try "convert", which may be available.
* Wed May 24 2017 [email protected]
- Fix ncursesw6-config and ncursesw5-config scripts to return -ltinfow
as well as the pkg-config files do
* Mon May 22 2017 [email protected]

changed (cf: 20170311).
+ improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names.
* Fri May 12 2017 [email protected]
- Better screen support and workaround about missing terminfo entries
might be help on boo#812067 as well as on boo#935736 but may cause
boo#940459 (which should be fixed by screen its self!)
- New package terminfo-screen which includes some useful but troubling
terminfo database entries for screen.
* Wed May 10 2017 [email protected]
- Disable the usage of getttynam(3) as under Linux this is not used
* Tue May 09 2017 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20170506

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

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

called (report by "Kau").
+ updated curs_sp_funcs.3x for new functions.
* Mon Mar 20 2017 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20170318
+ change TERMINAL structure in term.h to make it opaque. Some

- Add ncurses patch 20170204
+ trim newlines, tabs and escaped newlines from terminfo "paths" passed
to db-iterator.
+ ignore zero-length files in db-iterator; these are useful for
instance to suppress "$HOME/.terminfo" when not wanted.
+ amended "b64:" encoder to work with the terminfo reader.
+ modify terminfo reader to accept "b64:" format using RFC-3548 in
as well as RFC-4648 url/filename-safe format.

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

e.g., when called via putp. This fixes a scenario where "tput flash"
did not work after changes in 20130112.
* Mon Dec 12 2016 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20161210
+ add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).

of comments.
+ amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
leaving the residue in CC. That happens to work for gcc's various
"model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers (report
by Sven Joachim).
- Add ncurses patch 20160827

+ when separating compiler and options in CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, ensure
that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS

+ regenerate HTML manpages.
+ improve manual pages for wgetch and wget_wch to point out that they

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

can handle the event.
- Add ncurses patch 20160319
+ improve description of tgoto parameters (report by Steffen Nurpmeso).

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

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

+ improve CF_XOPEN_CURSES macro used in test/configure, to define as
needed NCURSES_WIDECHAR for platforms where _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
does not work. Also modified the test program to ensure that if
building with ncurses, that the cchar_t type is checked, since that
normally is since 20111030 ifdef'd depending on this test.
+ improve 20121222 workaround for broken acs, letting Solaris "work"
in spite of its m.isconfigured wcwidth which marks all of the line
drawing characters as double-width.
- Add ncurses patch 20151205
+ update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list
function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre).
+ minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use
rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are
listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item
listed in the NAME section. The latter is used to reduce clutter,
e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain
feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by
Jason McIntyre).

* Tue Nov 10 2015 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20151107
+ modify tset's assignment to TERM in its output to reflect the name by
which the terminal description is found, rather than the primary
name. That was an unnecessary part from the initial conversion of
tset from termcap to terminfo. The termcap program in 4.3BSD did
this to avoid using the short 2-character name (report by Rich
Burridge).
+ minor fix to configure script to ensure that rules for resulting.map
are only generated when needed (cf: 20151101).
+ modify configure script to handle the case where tic-library is
renamed, but the --with-debug option is used by itself without
normal or shared libraries (prompted by comment in Debian #803482).
- Add ncurses patch 20151101

valid pkg-config library directory was configured to suppress the
actual install if it is not overridden to a valid directory at

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

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

annotation on the right margin; some terminals with partial support
did not display well.
+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim).
+ fix typo in INSTALL (patch by Tomas Cech).
+ improve configure check for setting WILDCARD_SYMS variable; on ppc64
the variable is in the Data section rather than Text (patch by Michel
Normand).

FALLBACK_LIST to be set to "no" (patch by Tomas Cech).
+ updated minitel entries to fix kel problem with emacs, and add
minitel1b-nb (Alexandre Montaron).
+ reviewed/updated nsterm entry Terminal.app in OSX -TD

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

- Rework fixing the pkg-config files
* Mon Jul 20 2015 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20150719
+ correct an old logic error for %A and %O in tparm (report by "zreed").
+ improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the
curs_initscr.3x page.
+ modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size
of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions
in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by
Coverity).
+ modify test/configure script to check for pthreads configuration,
e.g., ncursestw library.
* Mon Jul 13 2015 [email protected]

+ modify scripts to build/use test-packages for the pthreads
configuration of ncurses6.
+ add references to ttytype and termcap symbols in demo_terminfo.c and
demo_termcap.c to ensure that when building ncursest.map, etc., that
the corresponding names such as _nc_ttytype are added to the list of
versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
+ fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
* Mon Jul 06 2015 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20150606 pre-release
+ make ABI 6 the default by updates to dist.mk and VERSION, with the
intention that the existing ABI 5 should build as before using the
"--with-abi=5" option.
+ regenerate ada- and man-html documentation.
+ minor fixes to color- and util-manpages.
+ fix a regression in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, to handle special case of
Cygwin, which uses the broken-linker feature.
+ amend fix for CF_NCURSES_CONFIG used in test/configure to assume that
ncurses package scripts work when present for cross-compiling, as the
lessor of two evils (cf: 20150530).
+ add check in configure script to disallow conflicting options
"--with-termlib" and "--enable-term-driver".

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

map-files, but marked as deprecated so that they can easily be
suppressed from ABI 6 builds (Debian #788610).
+ comment-out "screen.xterm" entry, and inherit screen.xterm-256color
from xterm-new (report by Richard Birkett) -TD
+ modify read_entry.c to set the error-return to -1 if no terminal
databases were found, as documented for setupterm.
+ add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
setupterm and restartterm functions.
+ amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
Schindelin).
- Add ncurses patch 20150704
+ fix a few problems reported by Coverity.
+ fix comparison against "/usr/include" in misc/gen-pkgconfig.in
(report by Daiki Ueno, Debian #790548, cf: 20141213).

cf: 20150425, cf: 20100529).
- Add ncurses patch 20150523
+ add 'P' menu item to test/ncurses.c, to show pad in color.
+ improve discussion in curs_color.3x about color rendering (prompted
by comment on Stack Overflow forum):
+ remove screen-bce.mlterm, since mlterm does not do "bce" -TD
+ add several screen.XXX entries to support the respective variations
for 256 colors -TD
+ add putty+fnkeys* building-block entries -TD
+ add smkx/rmkx to capabilities analyzed with infocmp "-i" option.

may have rpath options (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150502).
+ change versioning for dpkg's in test-packages for Ada95 and
ncurses-examples for consistency with Debian, to work with package
updates.
+ regenerate html manpages.
+ clarify handling of carriage return in waddch manual page; it was
discussed only in the portability section (prompted by comment on
Stack Overflow forum):
* Mon May 11 2015 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20150509
+ add test-packages for cross-compiling ncurses-examples using the
MinGW test-packages. These are only the Debian packages; RPM later.
+ cleanup format of debian/copyright files

[#783806])
+ add sample "magic" file, to document ext-putwin.
+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to add explicit -ltinfo, etc., to the
generated ".pc" file when ld option "--as-needed" is used, or when
ncurses and tinfo are installed without using rpath (prompted by
discussion with Sylvain Bertrand).
+ modify test-package for ncurses6 to omit rpath feature when installed
in /usr.
+ add OSX's "*.dSYM" to clean-rules in makefiles.
+ make extra-suffix work for OSX configuration, e.g., for shared
libraries.
+ modify Ada95/configure script to work with pkg-config
+ move test-package for ncurses6 to /usr, since filename-conflicts have
been eliminated.
+ corrected build rules for Ada95/gen/generate; it does not depend on
the ncurses library aside from headers.

+ improve configure checks for pkg-config, addressing a variant found
with FreeBSD ports.
+ modify win_driver.c to provide characters for special keys, like
ansi.sys, when keypad mode is off, rather than returning nothing at
all (discussion with Eli Zaretskii).
+ add "broken_linker" and "hashed-db" configure options to combinations
use for generating the ".map" and ".sym" files.

regenerate html-manpages.
* Tue Dec 16 2014 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20141206
+ updated ".map" files so that each symbol that may be shared across
the different library configurations has the same label. Some
review is needed to ensure these are really compatible.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to work around change in development version of
gcc introduced here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-06/msg02185.html

is still possible to install ".pc" files (report by Misty De Meo).
+ updated ".sym" files, removing symbols which are marked as "local"
in the corresponding ".map" files.
+ updated ".map" files to reflect move of comp_captab and comp_hash
from tic-library to tinfo-library in 20090711 (report by Sven
Joachim).

+ improved ".map" files by generating them with a script that builds
ncurses with several related configurations and merges the results.
A further refinement is planned, to make the tic- and tinfo-library
symbols use the same versions across each of the four configurations
which are represented (reports by Sven Joachim, Werner Fink).
* Mon Nov 17 2014 [email protected]
- Do not use new symbol versioning as some common symbols are missed

in a check if the string happens to have parameters, e.g., "xm"
in recent changes.
+ add check for zero/negative dimensions for resizeterm and resize_term
(report by Mike Gran).
* Mon Oct 13 2014 [email protected]
- Add ncurses patch 20141011
+ add experimental support for xterm's 1005 mouse mode, to use in a
demonstration of its limitations.
+ add experimental support for "%u" format to terminfo.
+ modify test/ncurses.c to also show position reports in 'a' test.
+ minor formatting fixes to _nc_trace_mmask_t, make this function
exported to help with debugging mouse changes.
+ improve behavior of wheel-mice for xterm protocol, noting that there
are only button-presses for buttons "4" and "5", so there is no need
to wait to combine events into double-clicks (report/analysis by
Greg Field).
