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 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 by Ilya Zakharevich for OS/2 EMX: - + modify convert_configure.pl to support INSTALL.

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 (from a NetBSD bug report by John - Hawkinson <jhawk@MIT.EDU>). - + 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. - -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.

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 (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> and 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 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 (from bug 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.

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 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 - 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).

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'.

The new implementation adds a -E - option to infocmp. - > patch by Juergen Pfeifer: - + introduce the private type Curses_Bool in the Ada95 binding - implementation. This is to clearly represent the use of "bool" also - in the binding. It should have no effect on the generated code. - + improve the man page for field_buffer() to tell the people, that the - whole buffer including leading/trailing spaces is returned. This is - a common source of confusion, so it's better to document it clearly. - -990614 pre-release - > patch by Juergen Pfeifer: - + use pragma PreElaborate in several places. - + change a few System.Address uses to more specific types. - + change interface version-number to 1.0 - + regenerate Ada95 HTML files. - -990612 pre-release - + modify lib_endwin.c to avoid calling reset_shell_mode(), return ERR - if it appears that curses was never initialized, e.g., by initscr(). - For instance, this guards against setting the terminal modes to - strange values if endwin() is called after setupterm(). In the same - context, Solaris curses will dump core. - + modify logic that avoids a conflict in lib_vidattr.c between sgr0 and - equivalent values in rmso or rmul by ensuring we do not modify the - data which would be returned by the terminfo or termcap interfaces - (reported by Brad Pepers <brad@linuxcanada.com>, cf: 960706). - + add a null-pointer check for SP in lib_vidattr.c to logic that checks - for magic cookies. - + improve fallback declaration of 'bool' when the --without-cxx option - is given, by using a 'char' on i386 and related hosts (from discussion - with Alexander Lukyanov). - -990605 pre-release - + include time.h in lib_napms.c if nanosleep is used (patch by - R Lindsay Todd <toddr@rpi.edu>). - + add an "#undef bool" to curses.h, in case someone tries to define it, - e.g., perl. - + add check to tparm to guard against divide by zero (reported by Aaron - Campbell <aaron@ug.cs.dal.ca>). - -990516 pre-release - + minor fix to build tack on CLIX (mismatched const). - > patch by Juergen Pfeifer: - + change Juergen's old email address with new one in the files where it - is referenced. The Ada95 HTML pages are regenerated. - + update MANIFEST to list the tack files. - -990509 pre-release - + minor fixes to make 'tack' build/link on NeXT (reported by Francisco - A. Tomei Torres). - -990417 pre-release - + add 'tack' program (which is GPL'd), updating it to work with the - modified TERMTYPE struct and making a fix to support setaf/setab - capabilities. Note that the tack program is not part of the - ncurses libraries, but an application which can be distributed with - ncurses. The configure script will ignore the directory if it is - omitted, however. - + modify gpm mouse support so that buttons 2 and 3 are used for - select/paste only when shift key is pressed, making them available - for use by an application (patch by Klaus Weide). - + add complete list of function keys to scoansi terminfo entry - TD - -990410 pre-release - + add a simple test program cardfile.c to illustrate how to read form - fields, and showing forms within panels. - + change shared-library versioning for the Hurd to be like Linux rather - than *BSD (patch by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl>). - + add linux-lat terminfo entry. - + back-out _nc_access check in read_termcap.c (both incorrect and - unnecessary, except to guard against a small window where the file's - ownership may change). - -990403 pre-release - + remove conflicting _nc_free_termtype() function from test module - lib_freeall.c - + use _nc_access check in read_termcap.c for termpaths[] array (noted - by Jeremy Buhler, indicating that Alan Cox made a similar patch). - > patch by Juergen Pfeifer: - + modify menu creation to not inherit status flag from the default menu - which says that the associated marker string has been allocated and - should be freed (bug reported by Marek Paliwoda" <paliwoda@kki.net.pl>) - -990327 pre-release (alpha.gnu.org:/gnu/ncurses-5.0-beta1.tar.gz) - + minor fixes to xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry - TD. - + split up an expression in configure script check for ldconfig to - workaround limitation of BSD/OS sh (reported by Jeff Haas - <jmh@mail.msen.com>). - + correct a typo in man/form_hook.3x (Todd 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 Lukyanov). - -990316 pre-release - + add fallback definition for getcwd, to link on NeXT. - + add a copy of cur_term to tic.c to make it link properly on NeXT - (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres). - + change inequality in hashmap.c which checks the distance traveled by - a chunk so that ^D command in nvi (scrolls 1/2 screen) will use - scrolling logic (patch by Alexander Lukyanov, reported by Jeffrey - C Honig). - -990314 pre-release - + modify lib_color.c to handle a special case where the curscr - attributes have been made obsolete (patch by Alexander Lukyanov). - + update BSD/OS console terminfo entries to use klone+sgr and - klone+color (patch by Jeffrey C Honig). - + update glibc addon configure script for extended capabilities. - + correct a couple of warnings in the --enable-const configuration. - + make comp_hash build properly with _nc_strdup(), on NeXT (reported by - Francisco A. Tomei Torres <francisco.tomei@cwix.com>). - -990313 pre-release - + correct typos in linux-c initc string - TD - + add 'crt' terminfo entry, update xterm-xfree86 entry - TD - + remove a spurious argument to tparm() in lib_sklrefr.c (patch by - Alexander Lukyanov). - -990307 pre-release - + back-out change to wgetch because it causes a problem with ^Z - handling in lynx (reported by Kim DeVaughn). - -990306 pre-release - + add -G option to tic and infocmp, to reverse the -g option. - + recode functions in name_match.c to avoid use of strncpy, which - caused a 4-fold slowdown in tic (cf: 980530). - + correct a few warnings about sign-extension in recent changes. - > patch by Juergen Pfeifer: - + fixes suggested by Jeff Bradbury <jibradbury@lucent.com>: - + improved parameter checking in new_fieldtype(). - + fixed a typo in wgetch() timeout handling. - + allow slk_init() to be called per newterm call. The internal SLK - state is stored in the SCREEN struct after every newterm() and then - reset for the next newterm. - + fix the problem that a slk_refresh() refreshes stdscr if the - terminal has true SLKs. - + update HTML documentation for Ada binding. - -990301 pre-release - + remove 'bool' casts from definitions of TRUE/FALSE so that statements - such as "#if TRUE" work. This was originally done to allow for a C++ - compiler which would warn of implicit conversions between enum and - int, but is not needed for g++ (reported by Kim DeVaughn). - + add use_extended_names() function to allow applications to suppress - read of the extended capabilities. - + add configure option --enable-tcap-names to support logic which - allows ncurses' tic to define new (i.e., extended) terminal - capabilities. This is activated by the tic -x switch. The infocmp - program automatically shows or compares extended capabilities. - Note: This changes the Strings and similar arrays in the TERMTYPE - struct so that applications which manipulate it must be recompiled. - + use macros typeMalloc, typeCalloc and typeRealloc consistently - throughout ncurses library. - + add _nc_strdup() to doalloc.c. - + modify define_key() to allow multiple strings to be bound to the - same keycode. - + correct logic error in _nc_remove_string, from 990220. - > patch by Juergen Pfeifer, for Ada95 binding: - + regenerate some of the html documentation - + minor cleanup in terminal_interface-curses.adb - -990220 pre-release - + resolve ambiguity of kend/kll/kslt and khome/kfnd/kich1 strings in - xterm and ncsa terminfo entries by removing the unneeded ones. Note - that some entries will return kend & khome versus kslt and kfnd, for - PC-style keyboards versus strict vt220 compatiblity - TD - + add function keybound(), which returns the definition associated with - a given keycode. - + modify define_key() to undefine the given string when no keycode is - given. - + modify keyok() so it works properly if there is more than one string - defined for a keycode. - + add check to tic to warn about terminfo descriptions that contain - more than one key assigned to the same string. This is shown only if - the verbose (-v) option is given. Moved related logic (tic -v) from - comp_parse.c into the tic program. - + add/use _nc_trace_tries() to show the function keys that will be - recognized. - + rename init_acs to _nc_init_acs (request by Alexander Lukyanov). - > patch by Juergen Pfeifer, for Ada95 binding: - + remove all the *_adabind.c from ncurses, menu and form projects. - Those little helper routines have all been implemented in Ada and are - no longer required. - + The option handling routines in menu and form have been made more - save. They now make sure that the unused bits in options are always - zero. - + modify configuration scripts to - + use gnatmake as default compiler name. This is a safer choice than - gcc, because some GNAT implementations use other names for the - compilerdriver to avoid conflicts. - + use new default installation locations for the Ada files according - to the proposed GNU Ada filesystem standard (for Linux). - + simplify the Makefiles for the Ada binding - + rename ada_include directory to src. - -990213 - + enable sigwinch handler by default. - + disable logic that allows setbuf to be turned off/on, because some - implementations will overrun the buffer after it has been disabled - once. - -990206 - + suppress sc/rc capabilities from terminal description if they appear - in smcup/rmcup. This affects only scrolling optimization, to fix a - problem reported by several people with xterm's alternate screen, - though the problem is more general. - > patch by Juergen Pfeifer, for Ada95 binding: - + removed all pragma Preelaborate() stuff, because the just released - gnat-3.11p complains on some constructs. - + fixed some upper/lower case notations because gnat-3.11p found - inconsistent use. - + used a new method to generate the HTML documentation of the Ada95 - binding. This invalidates nearly the whole ./Ada95/html subtree. - Nearly all current files in this subtree are removed - -990130 - + cache last result from _nc_baudrate, for performance (suggested by - Alexander Lukyanov). - + modify ClrUpdate() function to workaround a problem in nvi, which - uses redrawwin in SIGTSTP handling. Jeffrey C Honig reported that - ncurses repainted the screen with nulls before resuming normal - operation (patch by Alexander Lukyanov). - + generalize is_xterm() function a little by letting xterm/rxvt/kterm - be any substring rather than the prefix. - + modify lib_data.c to initialize SP. Some linkers, e.g., IBM's, will - not link a module if the only symbols exported from the module are - uninitialized ones (patch by Ilya Zakharevich, who says that he has - seen messages claiming this behaviour conforms to the standard.) - + move call on _nc_signal_handler past _nc_initscr, to avoid a small - window where Nttyb hasn't yet been filled (reported by Klaus Weide). - + modify lib_tstp.c to block SIGTTOU when handling SIGTSTP, fixes a - problem where ncurses applications which were run via a shell script - would hang when given a ^Z. Also, check if the terminal's process - group is consistent, i.e., a shell has not taken ownership of it, - before deciding to save the current terminal settings in the SIGTSTP - handler (patch by Klaus Weide). - + correct spelling of ACS_ names in curs_border.3x (reported by Bob van - der Poel <bvdpoel@kootenay.com>). - + correct a couple of typos in the macros supporting the configure - --with-shlib-version option. - -990123 - + modify fty_regex.c to compile on HAVE_REGEXPR_H_FUNCS machine (patch - by Kimio Ishii <ishii@csl.sony.co.jp>). - + rename BSDI console terminfo entries: bsdos to bsdos-pc-nobold, and - bsdos-bold to bsdos-pc (patch by Jeffrey C Honig). - + modify tput to accept termcap names as an alternative to terminfo - names (patch by Jeffrey C Honig). - + correct a typo in term.7 (Todd 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 Lukyanov). - + corrected iris-ansi and iris-ansi-ap terminfo entries for kent and - kf9-kf12 capabilities, as well as adding kcbt. - + document the mouse handling mechanism in menu_driver and make a small - change in menu_driver's return codes to provide more consistency - (patch by Juergen Pfeifer). - + add fallback definition for NCURSES_CONST to termcap.h.in (reported - by Uchiyama Yasushi <uch@nop.or.jp>). - + move lib_restart.c to ncurses/base, since it uses curses functions - directly, and therefore cannot be used in libtinfo.so - + rename micro_char_size to micro_col_size, adding #define to retain - old name. - + add set_a_attributes and set_pglen_inch to terminfo structure, as per - XSI and Solaris 2.5. - + minor makefile files to build ncurses test_progs - + update html files in misc directory to reflect changes since 4.2 - -990102 - + disable scroll hints when hashmap is enabled (patch by Alexander - Lukyanov). - + move logic for tic's verify of -e option versus -I and -C so that the - terminfo data is not processed if we cannot handle -e (reported by - Steven Schwartz <steves@unitrends.com>. - + add test-driver traces to terminfo and termcap functions. - + provide support for termcap ospeed variable by copying it from the - internal cur_term member, and using ospeed as the baudrate reference - for the delay_output and tputs functions. If an application does not - set ospeed, the library behaves as before, except that _nc_timed_wait - is no longer used, or needed, since ospeed always has a value. But - the application can modify ospeed to adjust the output of padding - characters (from a bug report for screen 3.7.6 and email from Michael - Schroeder <Michael.Schroeder@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>). - + removed some unused ifdef's as part of Alexander's restructuring. - + reviewed/updated curses.h, term.h against X/Open Curses Issue 4 - Version 2. This includes making some parameters NCURSES_CONST - rather than const, e.g., in termcap.h. - + change linux terminfo entry to use ncv#2, since underline does not - work with color - -981226 - + miscellaneous corrections for curses.h to match XSI. - + change --enable-no-padding configure option to be normally enabled. - + add section to ncurses manpage for environment variables. - + investigated Debian bug report that pertains to screen 3.7.4/3.7.6 - changes, found no sign of problems on Linux (or on SunOS, Solaris) - running screen built with ncurses. - + check if tmp_fp is opened in tic.c before closing it (patch by Pavel - Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>). - + correct several font specification typos in man-pages. - -981220 - + correct default value for BUILD_CC (reported by Larry Virden). - -981219 - + modify _nc_set_writedir() to set a flag in _nc_tic_dir() to prevent - it from changing the terminfo directory after chdir'ing to it. - Otherwise, a relative path in $TERMINFO would confuse tic (from a - Debian bug report). - + correct/update ncsa terminfo entry (report by Larry Virden). - + update xterm-xfree86 terminfo to current (patch 90), smcur/rmcur changes - + add Mathew Vernon's mach console entries to terminfo.src - + more changes, moving functions, as part of Alexander's restructuring. - + modify configure script for GNU/Hurd share-library support, introduce - BUILD_CC variable for cross compiling (patch by Uchiyama Yasushi - <uch@nop.or.jp>) - -981212 - + add environment variable NCURSES_NO_SETBUF to allow disabling the - setbuf feature, for testing purposes. - + correct ifdef's for termcap.h versus term.h that suppress redundant - declarations of prototypes (reported by H.J.Lu). - + modify Makefile.os2 to add linker flags which allow multiple copies - of an application to coexist (reported by Ilya Zakharevich). - + update Makefile.glibc and associated configure script so that ncurses - builds as a glibc add-on with the new directory configuration - (reported by H.J.Lu). - -981205 - + modify gen_reps() function in gen.c to work properly on SunOS - (sparc), which is a left-to-right architecture. - + modify relative_move and tputs to avoid an interaction with the - BSD-style padding. The relative_move function could produce a string - to replace on the screen which began with a numeric character, which - was then interpreted by tputs as padding. Now relative_move will not - generate a string with a leading digit in that case (overwrite). - Also, tputs will only interpret padding if the string begins with a - digit; as coded it permitted a string to begin with a decimal point - or asterisk (reported by Larry Virden). - > patches by Juergen Pfeifer: - + fix a typo in m_driver.c mouse handling and improves the error - handling. - + fix broken mouse handling in the Ada95 binding - + make the Ada95 sample application menus work with the new menu mouse - support - + improve the mouse handling introduced by Ilya; it now handles menus - with spacing. - + repair a minor bug in the menu_driver code discovered during this - rework. - + add new function wmouse_trafo() to hide implementation details of - _yoffset member of WINDOW struct needed for mouse coordinate - transformation. - -981128 - + modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to avoid using return-value of sprintf, since - some older implementations (e.g., SunOS 4.x) return the buffer - address rather than its length. - > patch by Rick Ohnemus: - + modify demo.cc to get it to compile with newer versions of egcs. - + trim a space that appears at the end of the table preprocessor lines - ('\" t). This space prevents some versions of man from displaying - the pages - changed to remove all trailing whitespace (TD) - + finally, 'make clean' does not remove panel objects. - > patches by Ilya Zakharevich: - + allow remapping of OS/2 mouse buttons using environment variable - MOUSE_BUTTONS_123 with the default value 132. - + add mouse support to ncurses menus. - -981121 - + modify misc/makedef.cmd to report old-style .def file symbols, and to - generate the .def files sorted by increasing names rather than the - reverse. - + add misc/*.ref which are J.J.G.Ripoll's dll definition files (renamed - from misc/*.old), and updated based on the entrypoint coding he used - for an older version of ncurses. - + add README.emx, to document how to build on OS/2 EMX. - + updates for config.guess, config.sub from Lynx - > patches by Ilya Zakharevich: - + minor fixes for mouse handling mode: - a) Do not initialize mouse if the request is to have no mouse; - b) Allow switching of OS/2 VIO mouse on and off. - + modify Makefile.os2 to support alternative means of generating - configure script, by translating Unix script with Perl. - > patches by Juergen Pfeifer: - + Updates MANIFEST to reflect changes in source structure - + Eliminates a problem introduced with my last patch for the C++ - binding in the panels code. It removes the update() call done in the - panel destructor. - + Changes in the Ada95 binding to better support systems where - sizeof(chtype)!=sizeof(int) (e.g. DEC Alpha). - -981114 - + modify install-script for manpages to skip over .orig and .rej files - (request by Larry Virden). - > patches/discussion by Alexander Lukyanov: - + move base-library sources into ncurses/base and tty (serial terminal) - sources into ncurses/tty, as part of Alexander Lukyanov's proposed - changes to ncurses library. - + copy _tracemouse() into ncurses.c so that lib_tracemse.c need not - be linked into the normal ncurses library. - + move macro winch to a function, to hide details of struct ldat - > patches by Juergen Pfeifer: - + fix a potential compile problem in cursesw.cc - + some Ada95 cosmetics - + fix a gen.c problem when compiling on 64-Bit machines - + fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in "-L" linker switch - + modify Ada95 makefiles to use the INSTALL_PREFIX setting. - -981107 - + ifdef'd out lib_freeall.c when not configured. - + rename _tracebits() to _nc_tracebits(). - + move terminfo-library sources into ncurses/tinfo, and trace-support - functions into ncurses/trace as part of Alexander Lukyanov's proposed - changes to ncurses library. - + modify generated term.h to always specify its own definitions for - HAVE_TERMIOS_H, etc., to guard against inclusion by programs with - broken configure scripts. - -981031 - + modify terminfo parsing to accept octal and hexadecimal constants, - like Solaris. - + remove an autoconf 2.10 artifact from the configure script's check - for "-g" compiler options. (Though harmless, this confused someone - at Debian, who recently issued a patch that results in the opposite - effect). - + add configure option --with-ada-compiler to accommodate installations - that do not use gcc as the driver for GNAT (patch by Juergen - Pfeifer). - -981017 - + ensure ./man exists in configure script, needed when configuring - with --srcdir option. - + modify infocmp "-r" option to remove limit on formatted termcap - output, which makes it more like Solaris' version. - + modify captoinfo to treat no-argument case more like Solaris' version, - which uses the contents of $TERMCAP as the entry to format. - + modify mk-2nd.awk to handle subdirectories, e.g., ncurses/tty - (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov). - -981010 - + modify --with-terminfo-dirs option so that the default value is the - ${datadir} value, unless $TERMINFO_DIRS is already set. This gets - rid of a hardcoded list of candidate directories in the configure - script. - + add some error-checking to _nc_read_file_entry() to ensure that - strings are properly terminated (Todd 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.

Corrected missing comma - that caused setf/setb entries to merge. - + modify mousemask() to use keyok() to enable/disable KEY_MOUSE, so - that applications can disable ncurses' mouse and supply their own - handler. - + add extensions keyok() and define_key(). These are designed to allow - the user's application better control over the use of function keys, - e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE. (The define_key idea was from - a mailing-list thread started by kjahds@kjahds.com Nov'1995). - + restore original behavior in ncurses 'g' test, i.e., explicitly - set the keypad mode rather than use the default, since it confuses - people. - + rewrote the newdemo banner so it's readable (reported by Hugh Daniel). - + tidy up exit from hashtest (reported by Hugh Daniel). - + restore check for ^Q in ncurses 'g' test broken in 970510 (reported - by Hugh Daniel) - + correct tput program, checking return-value of setupterm (patch by - Florian La Roche). - + correct logic in pnoutrefresh() and pechochar() functions (reported - by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf.usc.edu>).

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.

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. |
