15248 * revised 'configure' script to produce libraries for normal, debug,
15253 * use 'autoconf' to implement 'configure' script.
15261 appropriate, fixed some shadowed variables, change attr_t to compatible with
15263 * use chtype/attr_t casts as appropriate to ensure portability of masking
15265 * added-back waddchnstr() to lib_addstr.c (it had been deleted).
15267 * include <termcap.h> in lib_termcap.c to ensure that the prototypes
15270 * rewrote varargs parsing in lib_tparm.c (to avoid referencing memory
15272 * ensure that TRACE is defined in lib_trace.c (to solve prototype
15276 * use 'calloc()' to allocate WINDOW struct in lib_newwin.c (Purify).
15285 -Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion and using __attribute__ to flush out
15288 * modified doupdate to ensure that typahead was turned on before attempting
15290 * added trace mask TRACE_FIFO, use this in lib_getch.c to allow finer
15294 * -F file-comparison option added to infocmp.
15309 you try to run on an undefined terminal.
15310 * I can get things running on AIX but tic can't compile terminfo. I have to
15311 compile entries on another machine. Volunteers to hunt this bug are welcome.
15312 * wbkgd() and wbkgdset() can be used to set a windows background to color.
15313 wclear()/werase() DO NOT use the current attribute to clear the screen.
15323 * modified getstr() to stop it from advancing cursor in noecho mode.
15324 * modified linux terminfo entry to work with the latest kernel to get
15330 * modified addch() to avoid using any term.h #define's
15333 * modified delwin() to correctly handle deleting subwindows.
15334 * fixed Makefile.dist to stop installing an empty curses.h
15342 * Fixes to several bugs that manifest them on platforms other than Linux.
15343 * The default to meta now depends on the status of the terminal when ncurses
15345 * The interface to the tracing facility has changed. Instead of the pair of
15358 * The prototype ansi entry has been changed to work with a wider variety
15360 * Fix to the prototype ansi entry that enables it to work with PC emulators
15369 * Fixes and additions to the installation-documentation files.
15370 * Take cursor to normal mode on endwin.
15393 * fixed the script.src script.test to work with awk not just gawk.
15397 [Thanks to Eric S Raymond for the last 4]
15398 * more fixes to lib_overlay.c and added test/over.c to illustrate
15400 * fixed ungetch() to take int instead of ch.
15401 * fixes to cure wgetch() if flushinp() is called.
15403 One note I forgot to mention in 1.8.3 is that tracing is off by
15409 1) The order of capabilities has been changed in order to achieve
15414 will probably continue to work ok.
15416 2) Pavel Curtis has renounced his copyright to the public domain.
15417 This means that his original sources (posted to comp.sources.unix,
15430 please use test/getch.c and any other programs to test this.
15431 * ripoffline() is implemented (Thanks to Eric) and slk_ functions
15440 sent me to me without extensive testing). It now seems to be
15447 * The line drawing routines were offset by 1 at both ends. This
15450 * fixed code in src/lib_overlay.c which used to crash.
15459 * The C++ should compile ok. I've added explicit rules to the
15462 At the moment ncurses will switch to cbreak() if the case above
15463 occurs. Should it continue to do so? How about echo() and noraw()?
15464 * PDCurses seem to assume that wclear() will use current attribute
15465 when clearing the screen. According to Eric this is not the case
15467 * I have discovered, to my chagrin, SunOS 4.x (and probably other systems)
15475 * There seems to be one lingering problem with doupdate() after shelling
15477 to the terminal, nothing takes effect until you press ^L or another
15483 * major update and fix to scrolling routine.
15484 * MORE fixes to stuff in lib_getch.c.
15496 * more complete C++ interface to ncurses.
15503 * The annoying message "can't open file." was due to missing
15508 386bsd/BSDI (if you have others send'em to me)
15522 * added default screen size to all terminfos.
15528 * Config file to cope with different platforms (386BSD, BSDI, Ultrix, SunOS)
15529 * more fixes to lib_getch.c
15530 * changes related to Config
15538 * fixed lib_tparm.c to use stdarg.h (should run on suns now)
15539 * order of capabilities changed to reflect that specified in SYSV
15546 * more attention to portability to other systems
15547 * added terminfos for hp70092 (won't work until changes to lib_update.c are
15550 Thanks to Hellmuth Michaelis for his help.
15554 Please note that the next release will be called 1.8. If you want to know about
15555 the rationale drop me a line.
15569 * fixed lin_tparm.c to behave properly.
15588 behavior is to return the entire sequence one character at a time.
15592 * rewritten kgetch() to remove problems with interaction between alarm and
15595 (in lib_doupdate.c(ClrUpdate() -- iterate to columns not columns-1)
15596 * fixed a bug that cause the lower-right corner to be incorrect.
15598 * made resize() and cleanup() static to lib_newterm.c
15603 * moved screen size detection to lib_setup.c.
15604 * fixed newterm() to confirm to prototype.
15615 * changed _win_st structure to allow support for missing functionality.
15627 * changed from signal() to sigaction().
15635 * added a handler to cleanup after SIGSEGV (hopefully never needed).
15636 * changed SRCDIR from /etc/term to /usr/lib/terminfo.
15637 * renamed compile/dump to tic/untic.
15643 * fixed various files to allow correct update after shelling out.
15653 * lib_trace.c updated to use stdarg.h and vprintf routines.
