+
+This is a log of changes that ncurses has gone through since Zeyd started
+working with Pavel Curtis' original work, pcurses, in 1992.
+
+Changes through 1.9.9e are recorded by Zeyd M. Ben-Halim.
+Changes since 1.9.9e are recorded by Thomas Dickey.
+
+20041016
+	+ minor fixes for traces.
+	+ add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
+	  line-drawing characters is handled properly.  For example, ACS_DARROW
+	  is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
+	  same as ACS_BTEE.
+
+20041009
+	+ amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
+	  and smacs strings as well.  Also modify the check for screen's
+	  limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
+	  and shift-out which seem to work.
+	+ change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
+	  at runtime (Debian #110586).
+
+20041002
+	+ correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
+	  Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
+	+ add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
+	  be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
+	  background color.
+
+20040925
+	+ fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
+	  pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
+	+ modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
+	  wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
+
+20040918
+	+ remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
+	  have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
+	  with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
+	+ correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
+	  information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
+	+ fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
+	  compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
+	  (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
+	+ change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
+	  is no longer experimental.
+	+ change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
+	  not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
+
+20040911
+	+ add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
+
+20040828
+	+ modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
+	  entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
+	+ add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
+	+ correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
+	  using "tic -C" (Redhat Bugzilla #130921).
+	+ modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
+	  it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
+	  (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
+
+20040821
+	+ fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
+	  fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
+	  However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
+	+ modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
+	  visibility are reset in rs2 string:  hurd, putty, gnome,
+	  konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, #55637).  The
+	  xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and the
+	  new ones do not require this change. -TD
+
+20040814
+	+ fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
+	  and window managers (Debian #265631).
+	> terminfo updates -TD
+	+ remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
+	  with the common usage of bce/ech
+	+ remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
+	+ add rxvt+pcfkeys
+
+20040807
+	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
+	  combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
+	  underline can be tested.  This made the legend too crowded, added
+	  a help window as well.
+	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
+	  the -d option is set.
+	+ update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
+
+20040731
+	+ modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
+	  displayed.
+	+ correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
+	  levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
+	  Chris Share).
+
+20040724
+	+ modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings.  Also
+	  modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
+	  cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
+	+ corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat Bugzilla #122815,
+	  patch by Hans de Goede)
+	> terminfo updates -TD
+	+ make ncsa-m rmacs/smacs consistent with sgr
+	+ add sgr, rc/sc and ech to syscons entries
+	+ add function-keys to decansi
+	+ add sgr to mterm-ansi
+	+ add sgr, civis, cnorm to emu
+	+ correct/simplify cup in addrinfo
+
+20040717
+	> terminfo updates -TD
+	+ add xterm-pc-fkeys
+	+ review/update gnome and gnome-rh90 entries (prompted by Redhat
+	  Bugzilla #122815).
+	+ review/update konsole entries
+	+ add sgr, correct sgr0 for kterm and mlterm
+	+ correct tsl string in kterm
+
+20040711
+	+ add configure option --without-xterm-new
+
+20040710
+	+ add check in wget_wch() for printable bytes that are not part of a
+	  multibyte character.
+	+ modify wadd_wchnstr() to render text using window's background
+	  attributes.
+	+ improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0.
+	+ fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule.
+	+ modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
+	  to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).
+	+ modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if
+	  converting termcap to termcap format.
+	+ add -U option to tic and infocmp.
+	+ add rmam/smam to linux terminfo entry (Trevor Van Bremen)
+	> terminfo updates -TD
+	+ minor fixes for emu
+	+ add emu-220
+	+ change wyse acsc strings to use 'i' map rather than 'I'
+	+ fixes for avatar0
+	+ fixes for vp3a+
+
+20040703
+	+ use tic -x to install terminfo database -TD
+	+ add -x to infocmp's usage message.
+	+ correct field used for comparing O_ROWMAJOR in set_menu_format()
+	  (report/patch by Tony Li).
+	+ fix a missing nul check in set_field_buffer() from 20040508 changes.
+	> terminfo updates -TD
+	  + make xterm-xf86-v43 derived from xterm-xf86-v40 rather than
+	    xterm-basic -TD
+	  + align with xterm patch #192's use of xterm-new -TD
+	  + update xterm-new and xterm-8bit for cvvis/cnorm strings -TD
+	  + make xterm-new the default "xterm" entry -TD
+
+20040626
+	+ correct BUILD_CPPFLAGS substitution in ncurses/Makefile.in, to allow
+	  cross-compiling from a separate directory tree (report/patch by
+	  Dan Engel).
+	+ modify is_term_resized() to ensure that window sizes are nonzero,
+	  as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
+	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
+	  (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
+	+ configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub
+	> terminfo updates -TD
+	  + add mlterm
+	  + add xterm-xf86-v44
+	  + modify xterm-new aka xterm-xfree86 to accommodate luit, which
+	    relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
+	    Juliusz Chroboczek)
+	  + add 'hurd' entry
+
+20040619
+	+ reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
+	  implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
+	+ modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
+
+20040605
+	+ add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
+	  demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
+	+ correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
+	  by Tony Li).
+	+ correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
+	  define_key().
+
+20040529
+	+ correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
+	  field_buffer() results.
+	+ modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
+
+20040522
+	+ improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
+	  by Arne Thomassen).
+	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
+	  initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
+	  reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
+	+ change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
+	  reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
+
+20040516
+	+ modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
+	  wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
+	+ correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
+	  one cell.
+
+20040508
+	+ replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
+	  simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
+	  changes.
+	+ fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
+
+20040501
+	+ modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
+	  multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
+	  (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
+	+ add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
+	  comparisons.  This modifies infocmp to only report extended
+	  capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
+	  with tic.  Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
+	  information without an option.
+	+ modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
+	  of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
+
+20040424
+	+ minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
+
+20040417
+	+ modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
+	+ free some memory leaks in tic.
+	+ remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
+	  beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
+	+ remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
+	  that extend beyond the screen.  Solaris curses does this.
+	+ add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
+	  curses.
+	+ add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
+
+20040403
+	+ modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
+	  to an unsigned char.
+	+ add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
+	  values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
+
+20040328
+	+ fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
+
+20040327
+	+ modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
+	  current locale rather than using getenv().  This fixes a case in tin
+	  which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
+	  is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
+	+ add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
+	+ add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
+	  string.  This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
+	  color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
+	+ correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
+	  original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
+	  20030802 (Debian #237629).
+
+20040320
+	+ modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
+	  A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
+	  being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
+	  raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
+
+20040313
+	+ fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
+	  by Jim Idle).
+	+ remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
+	  some apropos script (Debian #237831).
+
+20040306
+	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
+	  set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
+	  mode is shown in that test.
+	+ change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
+	+ correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
+	  did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
+
+20040228
+	+ modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
+	  multibyte string.
+	+ split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it.  X/Open states
+	  that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
+	  insert-functions.  Currently it does not wrap.
+	+ check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
+	  Stanislav Ievlev).
+	+ split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
+	+ fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
+	  which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
+	  by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
+
+20040221
+	+ some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
+	  (request by Mike Aubury).
+	+ add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
+	  stdbool.h, e.g.,
+	  	#define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
+		#include <curses.h>
+	  (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
+
+20040214
+	+ modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
+	  the name of the terminfo library.  This would allow a packager to
+	  build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
+	  with Stanislav Ievlev).
+	+ improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
+	  $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
+	+ add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
+	  its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
+	  ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
+	  (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
+
+20040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+	+ update TO-DO.
+
+20040207 pre-release
+	+ minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
+	  and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
+	+ correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
+	  range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests.  In POSIX
+	  locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
+	  did.
+	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
+	  OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
+	  verified by Scott Corscadden).
+
+20040131 pre-release
+	+ modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
+	  to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
+	  (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
+	+ document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
+	+ document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
+	+ documented interface changes in INSTALL.
+	+ corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
+	  (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
+	+ updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
+	+ fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
+	+ minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
+
+20040125 pre-release
+	+ amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
+	  of cells for a possibly multi-cell character.  The 20030614 change
+	  forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
+	  greater than zero.  However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
+	  range 128-255 can give this return value.  The logic now simply
+	  ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
+	  modifying the displayed value.
+
+20040124 pre-release
+	+ looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
+	+ modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
+	  that works better for cross-compiling.
+
+20040117 pre-release
+	+ modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
+	  work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
+	  zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
+	+ add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
+	  to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
+	+ add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
+	+ add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
+	  Bianchi).
+	+ modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
+	  (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz, Debian
+	  #227586).
+	+ correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
+	  exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss, Debian #224443).
+	+ modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
+	+ remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
+	+ make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
+	+ improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
+	  CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
+	+ add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
+	  simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
+	+ add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
+	  patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
+	+ fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
+	  HPUX .so/.sl case.
+	+ resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
+	  NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
+	+ make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
+	  will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
+	+ rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool.  The
+	  intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
+	  compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
+	  does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
+
+20040110 pre-release
+	+ change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
+	+ revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
+	  Sittler).
+	+ simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
+	  configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
+	  Ievlev).
+	+ remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
+	  Ievlev).
+	+ modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
+	  such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
+	  (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
+	+ move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
+	  of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
+
+20040103
+	+ adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
+	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
+	+ add pecho_wchar().
+	+ remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
+	  available) on older platforms.
+
+20031227
+	+ add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
+	+ modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
+	  soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
+	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
+	  for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
+	+ modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
+	  rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
+	  by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf:  970719).
+	+ re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
+
+20031220
+	+ add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
+	  behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
+	  behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
+	+ remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
+	  work with Tru64 4.0d.
+	+ add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
+	  list).
+
+20031213
+	+ add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
+	  continuation lines.  ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
+	  applications do not.
+	+ add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
+	  "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
+	  files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
+	+ add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
+	  usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
+	+ fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
+	  Mike Castle).
+
+20031206
+	+ folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
+	  since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
+	  non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
+	+ remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
+	  <inger@altlinux.org>).
+	+ add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
+	+ modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
+	  George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
+	+ add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
+	  awkward for some cases.
+	+ remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
+	  corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
+	  20000101).
+	+ improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
+	  adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
+	  __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
+	+ small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
+	+ correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
+	  (cf: 20031101).
+
+20031129
+	+ modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
+	  values (Philippe Blain).
+	+ improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
+	  restarting (Philippe Blain).
+	+ correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
+	  <mooz@welho.com>).
+
+20031122
+	+ add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
+	+ allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
+	+ save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
+	  to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
+	  opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
+	+ modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
+	  $BROKEN_LINKER
+
+20031108
+	+ add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
+	  appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
+	+ fix some spelling in comments (reports by jmc, Jonathon Gray).
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20031101
+	+ fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
+	  Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
+	+ use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
+	+ amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
+	  BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
+	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
+	  recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
+	  <ps.m@gmx.net>).
+	+ fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
+	  David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
+	  under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
+	+ modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
+	  ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
+
+20031025
+	+ update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
+	+ add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
+	+ check for missing op/oc in tic.
+	+ correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
+	  tic to show cancelled capabilities.  These functions were ignoring
+	  the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
+	+ correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
+	+ add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
+	  Bienia).
+	+ regenerated html documentation.
+	+ correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
+	  leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
+	+ remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
+
+20031018
+	+ updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
+	+ fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
+	  and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
+	  pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
+	+ minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
+	  generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
+	+ modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
+	  require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
+	  Koblinger Egmont).
+
+20031004
+	+ add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
+	+ updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
+
+20030927
+	+ update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
+	+ modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
+	  where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
+	+ improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
+	  on white.
+	+ plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
+	  (report by Philippe Blain).
+
+20030920
+	+ add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
+	  libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
+	  --with-shared option.  The Darwin ld program does not work well
+	  with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
+	+ modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
+	+ modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
+	> Philippe Blain:
+	+ improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
+	  return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
+	  range.
+	+ improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
+	  change is found.
+	+ improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
+	  in the clr_bol logic.
+
+20030913
+	> Philippe Blain:
+	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
+	  move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
+	  be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
+	  Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
+	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
+	  Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
+	  putchar() which goes to stdout.  Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
+	+ in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
+	  Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
+	  successful (typeMalloc can fail).
+	+ simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
+
+20030906
+	+ modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
+	  work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
+	+ modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
+	  cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
+
+20030830
+	+ alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
+	  --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
+	  Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
+	+ modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
+	  parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
+	  pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki).  We note that
+	  libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
+	  able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
+	  --with-install-prefix is used.
+
+20030823
+	> Philippe Blain:
+	+ move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
+	+ make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
+	  assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
+
+20030816
+	+ modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
+	  whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
+	  a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
+	+ improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
+	  is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
+	  after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
+	> Philippe Blain:
+	+ remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
+	+ correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
+
+20030809
+	+ fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
+	+ close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
+	+ free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
+	+ fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
+	+ correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
+	  happens to be an empty string.  This applies to the "configure
+	  --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
+
+20030802
+	+ modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
+	  Daniel Jacobowitz).
+	> Philippe Blain:
+	+ change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
+	  the size of the scroll-region.
+	+ correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
+
+20030726
+	+ correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
+	  Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
+	+ re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
+	  _GNU_SOURCE check.
+
+20030719
+	+ use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
+	  paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
+	  (request by Vincent Lefevre).
+	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
+	+ add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
+	  Wilson).
+	> cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
+	  + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
+	    and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
+	  + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
+	    status of cygwin/mingw port.  Fix compiler warning.
+	  + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
+	    DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
+	  + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
+	    primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
+	    usage and to prevent circular links.
+	    (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
+	    (rxvt-color): new alias
+	    (rxvt-xpm): new alias
+	    (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
+	    (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto.  rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
+	    with a "native" MSWin GUI.	Each takes different acsc codes,
+	    which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
+	    (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window.	 Lots of fixes.
+	    (cygwinDBG): ditto.
+	  + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
+	    and static libs.
+
+20030712
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub
+	+ add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
+	  GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
+
+20030705
+	+ modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++.  Some
+	  platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
+	  would not accept gcc warning options.
+	+ add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
+	  get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
+	+ add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
+	+ correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
+	  20030628 (report by Tomohiro KUBOTA).
+	+ work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
+	  support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
+	  Gabor Z Papp).
+	+ add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
+
+20030628
+	+ rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
+	  respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
+	  data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
+	  Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
+	+ remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
+	  strings into wide-characters.  Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
+	  20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
+	  characters (report by Tomohiro KUBOTA).
+
+20030621
+	+ write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
+	  getcurx(), etc.
+	+ modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
+	  multibyte character directly to waddch().  In this case, waddch()
+	  must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
+	  KUBOTA <kubota@debian.org>).
+
+20030614
+	+ modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
+	  two cells.
+	+ modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
+	  are used in multibyte values.  This fixes a problem displaying
+	  double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
+	  <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
+	+ add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
+	+ modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
+
+20030607
+	+ add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
+	  properly in a UTF-8 locale.
+	+ add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
+	  by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
+	+ use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
+	  appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
+	+ fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
+	  is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
+	  <beren@mac.com>).
+	+ simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
+	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
+	+ remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
+	  versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+
+20030531
+	+ regenerated html manpages.
+	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
+	  for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
+	  (Debian #195230).
+	+ modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
+	  description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
+	  name.
+	+ fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
+	+ add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
+
+20030524
+	+ modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
+	  characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
+	+ add tkterm entry -TD
+	+ modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
+	  2-character name (report by Don Libes).
+	+ corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
+	+ fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
+	  tell().
+	+ fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
+	  these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
+	+ modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
+	  feature is broken.
+	+ modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
+	  they return function pointers:  field_init, field_term, form_init,
+	  form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
+
+20030517
+	+ prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
+	  be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
+	  by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
+	+ change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
+	  by Debian #192860).
+	+ add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
+	  are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
+	  current test programs.
+	+ corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
+	  convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
+	+ corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
+	  + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
+	    failed.
+	  + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
+	    key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
+	    mentioned in the terminfo.
+	+ modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
+	  drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
+
+20030510
+	+ make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
+	  by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
+	+ correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
+	  "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
+	+ correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
+	  (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
+	+ fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by jmc
+	  <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
+
+20030503
+	+ fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
+	  REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
+	  the editing position before making modifications.
+	+ add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
+	+ modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
+	  to compile rather than using the list of programs.
+
+20030419
+	+ modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
+	  defined, noting that Solaris does this.
+	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
+	  20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
+	  string.
+	+ modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
+	  the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
+	  command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
+	+ modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
+	  not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
+	  terminfo as is done in "screen".
+
+20030412
+	+ add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
+	+ fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
+	  code, from recent rewrite.
+	+ modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
+	  as in 'e' test.
+	+ modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
+	  ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
+
+20030405
+	+ modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
+	  already been read.  This ensures that it does not reinvoke
+	  def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
+	  such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
+
+20030329
+	+ add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
+	+ correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
+	  slk_wset().
+	+ first draft of slk_wset() function.
+
+20030322
+	+ improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
+	  1023-byte limit.
+	+ built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
+	  by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
+	  calls.
+	+ adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
+	  ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
+	  etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
+
+20030315
+	+ minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
+	  a file when ^W is given.
+	+ add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
+	  trace code.
+
+20030308
+	+ correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
+	  infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
+	  strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
+	+ add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
+	  to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
+	+ correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
+	  i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
+	+ modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
+	  for errors.
+
+20030301
+	+ restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
+	+ add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
+	  L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
+
+20030222
+	+ corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
+	+ if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
+	  for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
+	  baudrate was not known.
+	+ in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
+	  glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
+	+ modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
+	  provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
+	  corresponding capability might be
+		title=\E]2;%p1%s^G,
+	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
+	  preprocessor.  This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
+	  insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
+	  by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
+
+20030215
+	+ add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
+	  on preprocessor definitions.  Also work around for gcc fixinclude
+	  bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
+	  apparently typedef'd.
+	+ if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
+	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
+
+20030208
+	+ add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
+	+ update configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
+	  which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
+	  Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
+	+ make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent.  Before,
+	  depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
+	  cached for reallocating.
+
+20030201
+	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
+	+ correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
+	  not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
+	  <wr6@uni.de>).
+	+ correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
+	  variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
+	  2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
+	  results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
+	  <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
+	+ do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
+	  the gpm library does not make this check (from bug report for dialog
+	  by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
+
+20030125
+	+ modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
+	  emx-base to the latter -TD
+	+ add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
+	  implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
+
+20030118
+	+ revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
+	  case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
+	  attributes, e.g., reverse.
+	+ improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
+	  in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
+
+20030111
+	+ improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
+	  attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
+	  within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
+	  function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
+	+ add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
+	  work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
+	  on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
+	  Polterak).
+	+ change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
+	  (basic regular expression).  One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
+	  misformatted on FreeBSD (from a FreeBSD bug report by Kazuo Horikawa
+	  <horikawa@FreeBSD.org>).
+	+ correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
+
+20030105
+	+ improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
+	  variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
+	+ demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
+	  use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
+	  specialized type for the middle initial/name.
+	+ fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
+	  of sed 4.0
+	> Philippe Blain:
+	+ optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
+	  is indeed a "blank".
+	+ simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
+	  sections as small as one line.
+	+ improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
+	  to use it.
+	+ use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
+	  the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
+	  affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
+
+20021231
+	+ rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
+	  global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
+
+20021228
+	+ change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
+	  (report by Philippe Blain).
+	+ modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
+	  is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
+	  <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
+	+ rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
+	  alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
+	  locale.
+	+ correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
+	  special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
+	  by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
+	> Philippe Blain:
+	+ correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
+	+ correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
+
+20021221
+	+ change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
+	  enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
+	  by Philippe Blain).
+	+ use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
+	  problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
+	  Polterak).
+	+ implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
+	  crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13).  This only works with
+	  the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
+	  simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
+
+20021214
+	+ allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
+	  overridden from the environment.
+	+ make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
+	  the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
+	+ modify ncurses/modules to allow
+		configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
+	  to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
+	+ fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
+	  Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
+	+ correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
+	  force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
+	  by Sam Varshavchik).
+	+ small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
+	  gnatmake adds to its version-message.
+	> Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
+	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
+	  compiling.
+	+ use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
+	  comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
+	  traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
+	+ change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
+	  when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
+
+20021206
+	+ modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
+	  possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
+	  <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
+	+ modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
+	  tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
+	+ correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
+	  in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
+	+ repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
+	  2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
+	+ modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
+	  --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
+	+ fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
+	+ modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
+	  with bug reports.  libtool still gets confused if the installed
+	  ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
+	  point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
+	+ reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
+	  prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
+	  conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
+	  Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
+	+ rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
+	  test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
+
+20021123
+	+ add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
+	+ add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
+	+ add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
+	+ modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
+	  winsch() internal function.
+	+ modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
+	  more than one spacing character.
+
+20021116
+	+ fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
+	+ change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
+	  (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
+	  but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
+	  acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
+	+ add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
+	  lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
+	+ add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
+	  Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
+	+ add mterm terminfo entries -TD
+
+20021109
+	+ split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
+	  keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
+	  vt220+keypad.  The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
+	  kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
+	  <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
+	+ add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
+	+ improve checks in tic for color capabilities
+
+20021102
+	+ check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
+	  (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
+	+ rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
+	  tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
+	  Blain).
+	+ remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
+	  experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature.  The #undef confuses
+	  dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
+	+ fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
+	  feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
+
+20021026
+	+ implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
+	  generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
+	  or 1003.  These are returned to the application as the
+	  REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented.  Tested both
+	  with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
+	  <Larry@Riedel.org>).
+	+ modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
+	  one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
+	  mode.  In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
+	  1002 and 1003.  If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
+	  name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
+	+ correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
+	  where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
+	+ correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
+	  --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
+	+ add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
+	  setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
+
+20021019
+	+ remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
+	  already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
+	+ add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
+	+ replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
+	+ update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
+	+ remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
+	  Frederic L W Meunier).
+
+20021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+	+ modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
+	  with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
+	+ add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
+	  by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
+	  the debug trace in that case.
+	+ modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
+	  applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
+	+ modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
+	  traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
+	  the two.
+	+ document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
+	  whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
+
+20021005 pre-release
+	+ correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
+	  a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
+	  <michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
+	+ modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
+	+ correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
+	  formats such as "%.*s".
+	+ correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
+	  (report Floyd Davidson).
+	+ change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
+	  consistency.
+	+ correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
+	  character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
+	  <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
+
+20020928 pre-release
+	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
+	  it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
+	  compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
+	  Chernov).
+	+ modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
+	  linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
+	+ restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
+	  used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
+	  (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
+	+ improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
+	  to returnBool() and returnAttr().
+	+ add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
+	  of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
+	+ add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
+	+ correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
+	+ add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
+	+ modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
+	+ correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
+	  demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
+	+ correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
+	  the attributes (broken in 20010602).
+	+ modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
+	  curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
+
+20020921 pre-release
+	+ redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
+	+ workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
+	  result in core dump.
+	+ documented getbegx(), etc.
+	+ minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
+	  delimiter rather than '@'.
+	> Philippe Blain:
+	+ add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
+	  actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
+	  to the lines given for the destination window.
+
+20020914 pre-release
+	+ modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
+	  overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
+	  then applications that use that header for wide-character support
+	  must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
+	+ modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
+	  pads (request by Philippe Blain).
+	+ correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
+	  by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
+	> Philippe Blain:
+	+ corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
+	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
+	+ remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
+
+20020907 pre-release
+	+ change configure script to allow install of widec-character
+	  (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
+	  latter is a compatible subset of the former.
+	+ fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
+	  html manpages on Debian.
+	+ fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
+	+ update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
+	+ change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
+	> Philippe Blain:
+	+ change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
+	  a variable from the stack.
+	+ correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
+	  confusion.
+	+ modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
+	+ modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
+	  _idcok window fields.
+	+ better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
+
+20020901 pre-release
+	+ change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub
+	+ retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
+	+ make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
+	  match XSI.
+	+ modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
+	  normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
+	+ add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
+	  string.  This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
+	  is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
+	+ modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
+	  ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
+	+ moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
+	  use in resizeterm().
+	+ add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
+	  (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
+	+ amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
+	  otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
+	> Philippe Blain:
+	+ removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
+	+ check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
+	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
+	+ prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
+	+ prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
+	+ use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
+	  _nc_doalloc().
+
+20020824
+	+ add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
+	  calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
+	  by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
+	+ fix an overlooked case for bugzilla #68199 (Philippe Blain).
+	+ ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
+	  lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
+
+20020817
+	+ modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
+	  pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
+	  modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables.  Fixes Redhat
+	  bugzilla #68199 dated 2002-07-07.
+	+ add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
+	  FreeBSD bug report.  If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
+	  the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
+	  be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
+	+ correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
+	  rather than comma.
+	+ remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
+	  for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
+	  unsatisfactory.
+
+20020810
+	+ add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
+	  when translating to termcap.
+	+ add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
+	+ modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
+	  entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
+	  tc clauses.
+	+ correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
+	  Philippe Blain).
+	+ remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
+	  using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
+	  Philippe Blain).
+	+ document TABSIZE variable.
+	+ add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
+	  override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
+	  assume_default_colors().
+	+ correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
+	  logic.
+	+ correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
+	  Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
+	+ modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
+	  the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
+	  window (completes Debian #87678, #101699)
+
+20020803
+	+ fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
+	  Philippe Blain).
+	+ revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
+	  logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
+	  Philippe Blain)
+	+ remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
+	  the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
+	  (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
+
+20020727
+	+ finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
+	  to resizeterm().
+	+ simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
+
+20020720
+	+ check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
+	  reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
+	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
+	  problem with identifying C++ bool type.
+	+ correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
+	  which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
+	  current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
+	+ modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
+	  autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
+	  configure definitions.
+	+ remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
+	  include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
+	  fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
+	+ update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
+	  SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
+	+ correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
+	  inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
+	  in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
+	  Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
+	+ change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
+	+ modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
+
+20020713
+	+ add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
+	+ altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
+	  cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent.  (More
+	  work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
+	+ improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
+	+ remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
+	  times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
+	  filesystems.
+	+ modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
+	  t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
+	+ updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
+	+ update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+20020706
+	+ add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
+	+ modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
+	  infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
+	  is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
+	  the Caps file.
+	+ reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
+	  functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
+	+ add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
+
+20020629
+	+ correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
+	+ set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
+	  only ones).
+	+ add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
+	  Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
+	+ correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
+	  Blain).
+	+ modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
+	  in UTF-8 locale.  Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
+	  narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
+	+ fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
+	  gnat 3.14
+	+ modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
+	+ fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
+	  POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
+	  they were set before).  Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
+	  match.
+
+20020622
+	+ add charset to generated html.
+	+ add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
+	  <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
+	+ add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
+	+ modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
+	  default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
+	  work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
+	  INSTALL notes.
+
+20020615
+	+ modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
+	  key code in get_wch().
+	+ extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
+	  stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
+	+ improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
+	  value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
+	+ correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
+	  to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
+
+20020601
+	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
+	  not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps.  This makes
+	  hds200 fit.
+	+ more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
+	  differences between delay values in sgr strings.
+	+ move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
+	  accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
+
+20020525
+	+ add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
+	+ fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
+	+ make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
+	+ correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
+	+ improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
+	+ add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
+	+ add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
+	  Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
+	+ add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
+	  Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.
+
+20020523
+	+ correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported
+	  by Mike Castle).
+
+20020518
+	+ fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which
+	  falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
+	  <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
+	+ modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
+	  option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
+	+ adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
+	  (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
+
+20020511
+	+ implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
+	  character versions as well.
+	+ implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
+	  killchar().
+	+ modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
+	  VDISABLE.
+	+ correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by
+	  Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck
+	  <scott@gossamer-threads.com>).
+	+ improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often
+	  if gettimeofday() is available.
+
+20020429
+	+ workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy
+	  Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>).
+
+20020427
+	+ correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with
+	  Solaris and Tru64.
+	+ reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs
+	  subsets so configure --with-termlib works again.  This was broken by
+	  logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin
+	  dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com).
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20020421
+	+ modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on
+	  platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS.
+	+ modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h
+	  with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition.
+	+ amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an
+	  alias for 'function'.
+
+20020420
+	+ correct form of prototype for ripoffline().
+	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented
+	  can be linked.
+
+20020413
+	+ add manpages: curs_get_wstr.3x, curs_in_wchstr.3x
+	+ implement wgetn_wstr().
+	+ implement win_wchnstr().
+	+ remove redefinition of unget_wch() in lib_gen.c (reported by
+	  Jungshik Shin <jshin@jtan.com>).
+
+20020406
+	+ modified several of the test programs to allow them to compile with
+	  vendor curses implementations (Solaris, AIX).
+
+20020323
+	+ modified test/configure to allow configuring against ncursesw.
+	+ change WACS_xxx definition to use address, to work like Tru64 curses.
+
+20020317
+	+ add 'e' and 'm' toggles to 'a', 'A' tests in ncurses.c to demonstrate
+	  effect of echo/noecho and meta modes.
+	+ add 'A' test to ncurses.c to demonstrate wget_wch() and related
+	  functions.
+	+ add manpage: curs_get_wch.3x
+	+ implement unget_wch().
+	+ implement wget_wch().
+
+20020310
+	+ regenerated html manpages.
+	+ add manpages: curs_in_wch.3x, curs_ins_wch.3x, curs_ins_wstr.3x
+	+ implement wins_wch().
+	+ implement win_wch().
+	+ implement wins_nwstr(), wins_wstr().
+
+20020309
+	+ add manpages: curs_addwstr.3x, curs_winwstr.3x
+	+ implement winnwstr(), winwstr().
+
+20020223
+	+ add manpages: curs_add_wchstr.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x
+	+ document wunctrl, key_name.
+	+ implement key_name().
+	+ remove const's in lib_box.c incorrectly leftover after splitting off
+	  lib_box_set.c
+	+ update llib-lncurses, llib-ncursesw, fix configure script related to
+	  these.
+
+20020218
+	+ remove quotes on "SYNOPSIS" in man/curs_box_set.3x, which resulted
+	  in spurious symlinks on install.
+
+20020216
+	+ implement whline_set(), wvline_set(), add manpage curs_border_set.
+	+ add subtest 'b' to 'F' and 'f' in ncurses.c to demonstrate use of
+	  box() and box_set() functions.
+	+ add subtest 'u' to 'F' in ncurses.c, to demonstrate use of addstr()
+	  given UTF-8 string equivalents of WACS_xxx symbols.
+	+ minor fixes to several manpages based on groff -ww output.
+	+ add descriptions of external variables of termcap interface to
+	  the manpage (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>).
+	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
+	+ correct configure option --with-bool, which was executed as
+	  --with-ospeed.
+	+ add quotes for parameters of --with-bool and --with-ospeed configure
+	  options.
+	> patch by Sven Verdoolaege (report by Gerhard Haering
+	  <haering_linux@gmx.de>):
+	+ correct typos in definitions of several wide-character macros:
+	  waddwstr, wgetbkgrnd, mvaddwstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchnstr,
+	  mvwaddwstr.
+	+ pass $(CPPFLAGS) to MKlib_gen.sh, thereby fixing a missing definition
+	  of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, e.g., on Solaris
+
+20020209
+	+ implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales.  When in UTF-8
+	  locale, ignore narrow version of acs.  Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c
+	  to demonstrate.
+	+ correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing
+	  list item).
+
+20020202
+	+ add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the
+	  format.
+	+ implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n
+	  conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with
+	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
+	+ modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making
+	  shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs
+	  (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+	+ add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications
+	  such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes
+	  Debian #131263, cf: 20011215).
+	+ add entrypoints to resizeterm.c which provide better control over the
+	  process:  is_term_resized() and resize_term().  The latter restores
+	  the original design of resizeterm() before KEY_RESIZE was added in
+	  970906.  Do this to accommodate 20010922 changes to view.c, but allow
+	  for programs with their own sigwinch handler, such as lynx (reported
+	  by Russell Ruby <russ@math.orst.edu>).
+
+20020127
+	+ fix a typo in change to mk-1st.awk, which broke the shared-library
+	  makefile rules (reported by Martin Mokrejs).
+
+20020126
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub
+	+ finish changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
+	+ fix a typo in mvwchat() macro (reported by Cy <yam@homerow.net).
+
+20020119
+	+ add case in lib_baudrate.c for B921600 (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
+	+ correct missing sed-editing stage in manpage installs which is used
+	  to rename manpages, broken in 20010324 fix for Debian #89939 (Debian
+	  #78866).
+	+ remove -L$(libdir) from linker flags, probably not needed any more
+	  since HPUX is handled properly (reported by NIIBE Yutaka
+	  <gniibe@m17n.org>).
+	+ add configure check for mbstate_t, needed for wide-character
+	  configuration.  On some platforms we must include <wchar.h> to
+	  define this (reported by Daniel Jacobowitz).
+	+ incorporate some of the changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
+
+20020112a
+	+ workaround for awk did not work with mawk, adjusted shell script.
+
+20020112
+	+ add Caps.osf1r5, as an example.
+	+ modify behavior of can_clear_with() so that if an application is
+	  running in a non-bce terminals with default colors enabled, it
+	  returns true, allowing the user to select/paste text without picking
+	  up extraneous trailing blanks (adapted from patch by Daniel
+	  Jacobowitz <dmj+@andrew.cmu.edu>).
+	+ modify generated curses.h to ifdef-out prototypes for extensions if
+	  they are disabled, and to define curses_version() as a string in that
+	  case.  This is needed to make the programs such as tic build in that
+	  configuration.
+	+ modified generated headers.sh to remove a gzip'd version of the
+	  target file if it exists, in case non-gzip'd manpages are installed
+	  into a directory where gzip'd ones exist.  In that case, the latter
+	  would be found.
+	+ corrected a redundant initialization of signal handlers from 20010922
+	  changes.
+	+ clarified bug-reporting address in terminfo.src (report by John H
+	  DuBois III <spcecdt@armory.com>).
+	> several fixes from Robert Joop:
+	+ do not use "-v" option of awk in MKkey_defs.sh because it does not
+	  work with SunOS nawk.
+	+ modify definitions for libutf8 in curses.h to avoid redefinition
+	  warnings for mblen
+	+ quoted references to compiler in shell command in misc/Makefile, in
+	  case it uses multiple tokens.
+
+20011229
+	+ restore special case from 20010922 changes to omit SA_RESTART when
+	  setting up SIGWINCH handler, which is needed to allow wgetch() to be
+	  interrupted by that signal.
+	+ update configure macro CF_WITH_PATHLIST, to omit some double quotes
+	  not needed with autoconf 2.52
+	+ revert configure script to autoconf 2.13 patched with
+		autoconf-2.13-19990117.patch.gz (or later)
+	  from
+		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
+	  because autoconf 2.52 macro AC_PROG_AWK does not work on HPUX 11.0
+	  (report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).  This also fixes a
+	  different problem configuring with Mac OS X (reported by Marc Smith
+	  <marc.a.smith@home.com>).
+
+20011222
+	+ modify include/edit_cfg.h to eliminate BROKEN_LINKER symbol from
+	  term.h
+	+ move prototype for _nc_vsscanf() into curses.h.in to omit
+	  HAVE_VSSCANF symbol from curses.h, which was dependent upon the
+	  ncurses_cfg.h file which is not installed.
+	+ use ACS_LEN rather than SIZEOF(acs_map) in trace code of lib_acs.c,
+	  to work with broken linker configuration, e.g., cygwin (report by
+	  Robert Joop <rj@rainbow.in-berlin.de>).
+	+ make napms() call _nc_timed_wait() rather than poll() or select(),
+	  to work around broken implementations of these on cygwin.
+
+20011218
+	+ drop configure macro CF_WIDEC_SHIFT, since that was rendered obsolete
+	  by Sven Verdoolaege's rewrite of wide-character support.  This makes
+	  libncursesw incompatible again, but makes the header files almost the
+	  same as in the narrow-character configuration.
+	+ simplify definitions that combine wide/narrow versions of bkgd, etc.,
+	  to eliminate differences between the wide/narrow versions of curses.h
+	+ correct typo in configure macro CF_FUNC_VSSCANF
+	+ correct location of call to _nc_keypad() from 20011215 changes which
+	  prevented keypad() from being disabled (reported by Lars Hecking).
+
+20011215
+	+ rewrote ncurses 'a' test to exercise wgetch() and keypad() functions
+	  better, e.g., by adding a 'w' command to create new windows which
+	  may have different keypad() settings.
+	+ corrected logic of keypad() by adding internal screen state to track
+	  whether the terminal's keypad-mode has been set.  Use this in
+	  wgetch() to update the keypad-mode according to whether the
+	  associated window's keypad-mode has been set with keypad().  This
+	  corrects a related problem restoring terminal state after handling
+	  SIGTSTP (reported by Mike Castle).
+	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52
+		autoconf-2.52-patch.gz
+	  at
+		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
+		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
+	+ minor changes to quoting in configure script to allow it to work
+	  with autoconf 2.52
+
+20011208
+	+ modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making
+	  them independent.
+	+ modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make
+	  it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect
+	  implementation in cygwin package).
+	+ correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which
+	  happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package
+	  for ncurses).
+	+ modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop
+	  6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>).
+	+ add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will
+	  compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not,
+	  force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by
+	  Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> indicates that Solaris 8 with
+	  64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields).
+	+ modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in
+	  the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found
+	  in the C++ runtime.
+	+ modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the
+	  convention used on OS X and Darwin.  Rather than something like
+	  libncurses.dylib.5.2, Darwin would name it libncurses.  5.dylib.
+	  There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library
+	  version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans
+	  <jevans@apple.com>).
+	+ use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy
+	  versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <jp@eyup.org>).
+	+ correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548).
+	+ replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one
+	  that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and
+	  AmigaOS.
+
+20011201
+	+ modify script that generates fallbacks.c to compile a temporary
+	  copy of the terminfo source in case the host does not contain all of
+	  the entries requested for fallbacks (request by Greg Roelofs).
+	+ modify configure script to accommodate systems such as Mac OS X whose
+	  <stdbool.h> header defines a 'bool' type inconsistent with ncurses,
+	  which normally makes 'bool' consistent with C++.  Include <stdbool.h>
+	  from curses.h to force consistent usage, define a new type
+	  NCURSES_BOOL and related that to the exported 'bool' as either a
+	  typedef or definition, according to whether <stdbool.h> is present
+	  (based on a bug report for tin 1.5.9 by Aaron Adams <adamsa@mac.com>).
+
+20011124
+	+ added/updated terminfo entries for M$ telnet and KDE konsole -TD
+
+20011117
+	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
+	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
+	+ add putty terminfo entry -TD
+	+ if configuring for wide-curses, define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, since
+	  this may not otherwise be defined to make test/view.c compile.
+
+20011110
+	+ review/correct several missing/generated items in curses.wide, sorted
+	  the lists to make subsequent diff's easier to track.
+
+20011103
+	+ add manual pages for add_wch(), echo_wchar(), getcchar(),
+	  mvadd_wch(), mvwadd_wch(), setcchar(), wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar().
+	+ implement wecho_wchar()
+	+ modify _tracedump() to handle wide-characters by mapping them to '?'
+	  and control-characters to '.', to make the trace file readable.  Also
+	  dynamically allocate the buffer used by _tracedump() for formatting
+	  the results.
+	+ modify T_CALLED/T_RETURN macros to ease balancing call/return lines
+	  in a trace by using curly braces.
+	+ implement _nc_viscbuf(), for tracing cchar_t arrays.
+	+ correct trace-calls in setcchar() and getcchar() functions, which
+	  traced the return values but not the entry to each function.
+	+ correct usage message in test/view.c, which still mentioned -u flag.
+
+20011027
+	+ modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with
+	  fallbacks only.  In this case, we do not build tic and toe.
+	+ add configure --with-termpath option, to override default TERMPATH
+	  value of /etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap.
+	+ cosmetic change to tack: make menu descriptions agree with menu
+	  titles.
+
+20011020
+	+ rewrote limit-checks in wscrl() and associated _nc_scroll_window(),
+	  to ensure that if the parameter of wscrl() is larger than the size of
+	  the scrolling region, then the scrolling region will be cleared
+	  (report by Ben Kohlen <bckohlen@yahoo.com>).
+	+ add trace/varargs.c, using this to trace parameters in lib_printw.c
+	+ implement _tracecchar_t2() and _tracecchar_t().
+	+ split-out trace/visbuf.c
+	+ correct typo in lib_printw.c changes from 20010922 (report by Mike
+	  Castle).
+
+20011013
+	+ modify run_tic.sh to check if the build is a cross-compile.  In that
+	  case, do not use the build's tic to install the terminfo database
+	  (report by Rafael Rodriguez Velilla <rrv@tid.es>).
+	+ modify mouse click resolution so that mouseinterval(-1) will disable
+	  it, e.g., to handle touchscreens via a slow connection (request by
+	  Byron Stanoszek <gandalf@winds.org>).
+	+ correct mouseinterval() default value shown in curs_mouse.3x
+	+ remove conflicting definition of mouse_trafo() (reported by Lars
+	  Hecking, using gcc 2.95.3).
+
+20011001
+	+ simpler fix for signal_name(), to replace the one overlooked in
+	  20010929 (reported by Larry Virden).
+
+20010929
+	+ add -i option to view.c, to test ncurses' check for non-default
+	  signal handler for SIGINT, etc.
+	+ add cases for shared-libraries on Darwin/OS X (patch by Rob Braun
+	  <bbraun@synack.net>).
+	+ modify tset to restore original I/O modes if an error is encountered.
+	  Also modify to use buffered stderr consistently rather than mixing
+	  with write().
+	+ change signal_name() function to use if-then-else rather than case
+	  statement, since signal-values aren't really integers (reported by
+	  Larry Virden).
+	+ add limit checks in wredrawln(), fixing a problem where lynx was
+	  repainting a pad which was much larger than the screen.
+
+20010922
+	+ fix:  PutRange() was counting the second part of a wide character as
+	  part of a run, resulting in a cursor position that was one too far
+	  (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
+	+ modify resizeterm() to not queue a KEY_RESIZE if there was no
+	  SIGWINCH, thereby separating the two styles of SIGWINCH handling
+	  in test/view.c
+	+ simplified lib_tstp.c, modify it to use SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH.
+	+ eliminate several static buffers in the terminfo compiler, using
+	  allocated buffers.
+	+ modify MKkeyname.awk so that keyname() does not store its result into
+	  a static buffer that is overwritten by the next call.
+	+ reorganize the output of infocmp -E and -e options to compile cleanly
+	  with gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings.
+	+ remove redefinition of chgat/wchgat/mvwchgat from curses.wide
+
+20010915
+	+ add label to test/view.c, showing the name of the last key or signal
+	  that made the screen repaint, to make it clearer when a sigwinch
+	  does this.
+	+ use ExitProgram() consistently in the test-programs to make it
+	  simpler to test leaks with dmalloc, etc.
+	+ move hashtab static data out of hashmap.c into SCREEN struct.
+	+ make NO_LEAK code compile with revised WINDOWLIST structs.
+
+20010908
+	+ modify tgetent() to check if exit_attribute_mode resets the alternate
+	  character set, and if so, attempt to adjust the copy of the termcap
+	  "me" string which it will return to eliminate that part.  In
+	  particular, 'screen' would lose track of line-drawing characters
+	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>, analysis by
+	  Michael Schroeder).
+
+20010901
+	+ specify DOCTYPE in html manpages.
+	+ add missing macros for several "generated" functions:  attr_get(),
+	  attr_off(), attr_on(), attr_set(), chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat() and
+	  mouse_trafo().
+	+ modify view.c to agree with non-experimental status of ncurses'
+	  sigwinch handler:
+	  + change the sense of the -r option, making it default to ncurses'
+	    sigwinch handler.
+	  + add a note explaining what functions are unsafe in a signal
+	    handler.
+	  + add a -c option, to set color display, for testing.
+	+ unset $data variable in MKterminfo.sh script, to address potential
+	  infinite loop if shell malfunction (report by Samuel Mikes
+	  <smikes@cubane.com>, for bash 2.05.0 on a Linux 2.0.36 system).
+	+ change kbs in mach terminfo entries to ^?  (Marcus Brinkmann
+	  <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>).
+	+ correct logic for COLORFGBG environment variable: if rxvt is compiled
+	  with xpm support, the variable has three fields, making it slightly
+	  incompatible with itself.  In either case, the background color is
+	  the last field.
+
+20010825
+	+ move calls to def_shell_mode() and def_prog_mode() before loop with
+	  callbacks in lib_set_term.c, since the c++ demo otherwise initialized
+	  the tty modes before saving them (patch by John David Anglin
+	  <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>).
+	+ duplicate logic used to initialize trace in newterm(), in initscr()
+	  to avoid confusing trace of initscr().
+	+ simplify allocation of WINDOW and WINDOWLIST structs by making the
+	  first a part of the second rather than storing a pointer.  This saves
+	  a call to malloc for each window (discussion with Philippe Blain).
+	+ remove unused variable 'used_ncv' from lib_vidattr.c (Philippe
+	  Blain).
+	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to accommodate archive programs that are
+	  different for C++ than for C, and add cases for vendor's C++
+	  compilers on Solaris and IRIX (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+	+ correct manpage description of criteria for deciding if the terminal
+	  supports xterm mouse controls.
+	+ add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling:
+	  --with-build-cc, --with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and
+	  --with-build-libs (request by Greg Roelofs).
+	+ change criteria for deciding if configure is cross-compiling from
+	  host/build mismatch to host/target mismatch (request by Greg Roelofs
+	  <greg.roelofs@philips.com>).
+	+ correct logic for infocmp -e and -E options which writes the data for
+	  the ext_Names[] array.  This is needed if one constructs a fallback
+	  table for a terminfo entry which uses extended termcap names, e.g.,
+	  AX in a color xterm.
+	+ fix undefined NCURSES_PATHSEP when configure --disable-database
+	  option is given.
+
+20010811
+	+ fix for VALID_BOOLEAN() macro when char is not signed.
+	+ modify 'clean' rule for C++ binding to work with Sun compiler, which
+	  caches additional information in a subdirectory of the objects.
+	+ added llib-ncursesw.
+
+20010804
+	+ add Caps.keys example for experimental extended function keys
+	  (adapted from a patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
+	+ correct parameter types of vidputs() and vidattr() to agree with
+	  header files (report by William P Setzer).
+	+ fix typos in several man-pages (patch by William P Setzer).
+	+ remove unneeded ifdef for __GNUG__ in CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC configure
+	  macro, which made ncurses C++ binding fail to build with other
+	  C++ compilers such as HPUX 11.x (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+	+ workaround for bug in HPUX 11.x C compiler: add a blank after
+	  NCURSES_EXPORT macro in form.h (report by Albert Chin-A-Young)
+	+ ignore blank lines in Caps* files in MKkey_defs.sh script (report by
+	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
+	+ correct definition of key_end in Caps.aix4, which left KEY_END
+	  undefined (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+	+ remove a QNX-specific fallback prototype for vsscanf(), which is
+	  obsolete with QNX RTP.
+	+ review/fix some of the T() and TR() macro calls, having noticed that
+	  there was no data for delwin() in a trace of dialog because there was
+	  no returnVoid call for wtimeout().  Also, traces in lib_twait.c are
+	  now selected under TRACE_IEVENT rather than TRACE_CALLS.
+
+20010728
+	+ add a _nc_access() check before opening files listed via $TERMPATH.
+	+ using modified man2html, regenerate some of the html manpages to fix
+	  broken HREF's where the link was hyphenated.
+
+20010721
+	+ add some limit/pointer checks to -S option of tputs.
+	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
+	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
+	+ add a note in curs_termcap.3x regarding a defect in the XSI
+	  description of tgetent (based on a discussion with Urs Jansen
+	  regarding the HPUX 11.x implementation, whose termcap interface is
+	  not compatible with existing termcap programs).
+	+ modify manhtml rule in dist.mk to preserve copyright notice on the
+	  generated files, as well as to address HTML style issues reported by
+	  tidy and weblint.  Regenerated/updated corresponding html files.
+	+ comment out use of Protected_Character and related rarely used
+	  attributes in ncurses Ada95 test/demo to compile with wide-character
+	  configuration.
+
+20010714
+	+ implement a simple example in C++ demo to test scanw().
+	+ corrected stdio function used to implement scanw() in cursesw.cc
+	+ correct definition of RemAttr() macro from 20010602 changes, which
+	  caused C++ SillyDemo to not show line-drawing characters.
+	+ modify C++ binding, adding getKey() which can be overridden by user
+	  to substitute functions other than getch() for keyboard processing
+	  of forms and menus (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+20010707
+	+ fix some of the trace calls which needed modification to work with
+	  new wide-character structures.
+	+ modify magic-cookie code in tty_update.c to compile with new
+	  wide-character structures (report by <George.R.Goffe@seagate.com>).
+	+ ensure that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined in curses.priv.h if
+	  compiling for wide-character configuration.
+	+ make addwnstr() handle non-spacing characters (patch by Sven
+	  Verdoolaege).
+
+20010630
+	+ add configure check to define _GNU_SOURCE, needed to prop up glibc
+	  header files.
+	+ split-out include/curses.wide to solve spurious redefinitions caused
+	  by defining _GNU_SOURCE, and move includes for <signal.h> before
+	  <curses.h> to work around misdefinition of ERR in glibc 2.1.3 header
+	  file.
+	+ extended ospeed change to NetBSD and OpenBSD -TD
+	+ modify logic in lib_baudrate.c for ospeed, for FreeBSD to make it
+	  work properly for termcap applications (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
+
+20010623
+	+ correct an overlooked CharOf/UChar instance (reports by Eugene Lee
+	  <eugene@anime.net>, Sven Verdoolaege).
+	+ correct unneeded ifdef for wunctrl() (reported by Sven Verdoolaege)
+
+20010618
+	+ change overlooked several CharOf/UChar instances.
+	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
+	+ correct a typo in wunctrl(), which made it appear that botwc() was
+	  needed (no such function: use btowc()).
+	+ reimplement wide-character demo in test/view.c, using new functions.
+	+ implement getcchar(), setcchar(), wadd_wchnstr() and related macros.
+	+ fix a syntax problem with do/if/while in PUTC macro (curses.priv.h).
+
+20010616
+	+ add parentheses in macros for malloc in test.priv.h, fixes an
+	  expression in view.c (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.co.at>).
+	+ add Caps.uwin, as an example.
+	+ change the way curses.h is generated, making the list of function
+	  key definitions extracted from the Caps file.
+	+ add #undef's before possible redefinition of ERR and OK in curses.h
+	+ modify logic in tic, toe, tput and tset which checks for basename of
+	  argv[0] to work properly on systems such as OS/2 which have
+	  case-independent filenames and/or program suffixes, e.g., ".ext".
+
+20010609
+	+ add a configure check, if --enable-widec is specified, for putwc(),
+	  which may be in libutf8.
+	+ remove some unnecessary text from curs_extend.3x and
+	  default_colors.3x which caused man-db to make incorrect symbolic
+	  links (Debian bug report #99550).
+	+ add configure check if cast for _IO_va_list is needed to compile
+	  C++ vscan code (Debian bug report #97945).
+	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
+	+ correct code that used non-standard auto-initialization of a struct,
+	  which gcc allows (report by Larry Virden).
+	+ use putwc() in PUTC() macro.
+	+ make addstr() work for the special case where the codeset is
+	  non-stateful (eg. UTF-8), as well as stateful codesets.
+
+20010603
+	+ correct loop expression in NEXT_CHAR macro for lib_addstr.c changes
+	  from 20010602 (report by Mike Castle).
+
+20010602
+	+ modify mvcur() to avoid emitting newline characters when nonl() mode
+	  is set.  Normally this is not a problem since the actual terminal
+	  mode is set to suppress nl/crlf translations, however it is useful to
+	  allow the caller to manipulate the terminal mode to avoid staircasing
+	  effects after spawning a process which writes messages (for lynx
+	  2.8.4) -TD
+	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>:
+	+ remove redundant type-conversion in fifo_push()
+	+ correct definition of addwstr() macro in curses.h.in
+	+ remove _nc_utf8_outch()
+	+ rename most existing uses of CharOf() to UChar(), e.g., where it is
+	  used to prevent sign-extension in ctype macros.
+	+ change some chtype's to attr_t's where the corresponding variables
+	  are used to manipulate attributes.
+	+ UpdateAttr() was applied to both attributes (attr_t) and characters
+	  (chtype).  Modify macro and calls to it to make these distinct.
+	+ add CharEq() macro, use in places where wide-character configuration
+	  implementation uses a struct for cchar_t.
+	+ moved struct ldat into curses.priv.h, to hide implementation details.
+	+ change CharOf() macro to use it for masking A_CHARTEXT data from
+	  chtype's.
+	+ add L() macro to curses.priv.h, for long-character literals.
+	+ replace several assignments from struct ldat entries to chtype or
+	  char values with combinations of CharOf() and AttrOf() macros.
+	+ add/use intermediate ChAttrOf() and ChCharOf() macros where we know
+	  we are using chtype data.
+	+ add/use lowlevel attribute manipulation macros AddAttr(), RemAttr()
+	  and SetAttr().
+	+ add/use SetChar() macro, to change a cchar_t based on a character and
+	  attributes.
+	+ convert most internal use of chtype to NCURSES_CH_T, to simplify use
+	  of cchar_t for wide-character configuration.  Similarly, use ARG_CH_T
+	  where a pointer would be more useful.
+	+ add stubs for tracing cchar_t values.
+	+ add/use macro ISBLANK()
+	+ add/use constructors for cchar_t's: NewChar(), NewChar2().
+	+ add/use macros CHREF(), CHDEREF(), AttrOfD(), CharOfD() to facilitate
+	  passing cchar_t's by address.
+	+ add/use PUTC_DATA, PUTC() macros.
+	+ for wide-character configuration, move the window background data to
+	  the end of the WINDOW struct so that whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
+	  is defined or not, the offsets in the struct will not change.
+	+ modify addch() to work with wide-characters.
+	+ mark several wide-character functions as generated in curses.h.in
+	+ implement wunctrl(), wadd_wch(), wbkgrndset(), wbkgrnd(),
+	  wborder_set() and waddnwstr().
+
+20010526
+	+ add experimental --with-caps=XXX option to customize to similar
+	  terminfo database formats such as AIX 4.x
+	+ add Caps.aix4 as an example.
+	+ modify Caps to add columns for the the KEY_xxx symbols.
+	+ modify configure --with-widec to suppress overwrite of libcurses.so
+	  and curses.h
+	+ add checks to toe.c to avoid being confused by files and directories
+	  where we would expect the reverse, e.g., source-files in the
+	  top-level terminfo levels as is the case for AIX.
+
+20010519
+	+ add top-level 'depend' rule for the C sources, assuming that the
+	  makedepend program is available.  As a side-effect, this makes
+	  the generated sources, as in "make sources" (prompted by a report
+	  by Mike Castle that "make -j" fails because the resulting parallel
+	  processes race to generate ncurses/names.c).
+	+ modify configure script so that --disable-overwrite option's action
+	  to add a symbolic link for libcurses applies to the static library as
+	  well as the shared library when both are configured (report by Felix
+	  Natter <f.natter@ndh.net>).
+	+ add ELKS terminfo entries (Federico Bianchi
+	  <bianchi@www.arte.unipi.it>)
+	+ add u6 (CSR) to Eterm (Michael Jennings).
+
+20010512
+	+ modify test/ncurses.c to work with xterm-256color, which has fewer
+	  color pairs than colors*colors (report by David Ellement
+	  <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).
+
+20010505
+	+ corrected screen.xterm-xfree86 entry.
+	+ update comment in Caps regarding IBM (AIX) function-key definitions.
+
+20010421
+	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to link with libncurses++w.a when configured
+	  for wide-characters (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
+	+ add check in _nc_trace_buf() to refrain from freeing a null pointer.
+	+ improve CF_PROG_INSTALL macro using CF_DIRNAME.
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub from autoconf 2.49e (alpha).
+
+20010414
+	+ add secondary check in tic.c, similar_sgr() to see if the reason
+	  for mismatch was that the individual capabilities used a time-delay
+	  while sgr did not.  Used this to cleanup mismatches, e.g., in vt100,
+	  and remove time-delay from Apple_Terminal entries.
+	+ add Apple_Terminal terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler
+	  <bsittler@iname.com>).
+	+ correct definitions of shifted editing keys for xterm-xfree86 -TD
+	+ fix a bug in test/bs.c from 20010407 (patch by Erik Sigra).
+	+ prevent relative_move() from doing an overwrite if it detects 8-bit
+	  characters when configured for UTF-8 (reported by Sven Verdoolaege
+	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
+
+20010407
+	+ add configure checks for strstream.h vscan function, and similar
+	  stdio-based function which may be used in C++ binding for gcc 3.0
+	  (reports by George Goffe, Lars Hecking, Mike Castle).
+	+ rewrite parts of configure.in which used changequote().  That feature
+	  is broken in the latest autoconf alphas (e.g., 2.49d).
+	+ add a missing pathname for ncurses_dll.h, needed when building in
+	  a directory outside the source tree (patch by Sven Verdoolaege
+	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
+	> fix 2 bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Erik Sigra <sigra@home.se>):
+	+ no ships were ever placed in the last row or in the last column.
+	  This made the game very easy to win, because you never had to waste
+	  any shots there, but the computer did.
+	+ the squares around a sunken ship that belonged to the player were not
+	  displayed as already hit by the computer, like it does for the
+	  player.
+
+20010331
+	+ add some examples of customizing screen's terminfo:
+	  screen.xterm-xfree86, screen.xterm-r6, screen.teraterm -TD
+	+ modify screen's terminfo entry to match the khome/kend in screen
+	  3.09.08 (Debian bug report #92215).
+	+ correct a memory leak in forms library (report by Stefan Vogtner
+	  <stefan@vogtner.de>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+20010324
+	+ change symbols used to guard against repeated includes to begin
+	  consistently with "NCURSES_" rather than a leading underscore.  There
+	  are other symbols defined in the header files which begin with a
+	  leading underscore, but they are part of the legacy interface.
+	+ reorder includes in c++ binding so that rcs identifiers can be
+	  compiled-in.
+	+ add .cc.ii rule to c++ makefile, to get preprocessor output for
+	  debugging.
+	+ correct configure script handling of @keyword@ substitutions when the
+	  --with-manpage-renames option is given (cf:  20000715, fixes Debian
+	  bug #89939).
+	+ report stack underflow/overflow in tparm() when tic -cv option is
+	  given.
+	+ remove spurious "%|" operator from xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry,
+	  (reported by Adam Costello <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian bug #89222).
+
+20010310
+	+ cleanup of newdemo.c, fixing some ambiguous expressions noted by gcc
+	  2.95.2, and correcting some conflicting color pair initializations.
+	+ add missing copyright notice for cursesw.h
+	+ review, make minor fixes for use of '::' for referring to C-language
+	  interface from C++ binding.
+	+ modify configure check for g++ library slightly to accommodate
+	  nonstandard version number, e.g., <vendor>-2.7 (report by Ronald Ho
+	  <rho@mipos2.intel.com>).
+	+ add configure check for c++ <sstream> header, replace hardcoded
+	  ifdef.
+	+ workaround for pre-release of gcc 3.0 libstdc++, which has dropped
+	  vscan from strstreambuf to follow standard, use wrapper for C vscanf
+	  instead (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@excite.com> and Matt Taggart
+	  <taggart@carmen.fc.hp.com>, fixes Debian .
+
+20010303
+	+ modify interface of _nc_get_token() to pass 'silent' parameter to it,
+	  to make quieter loading of /etc/termcap (patch by Todd C Miller).
+	+ correct a few typos in curs_slk.3x and curs_outopts.3x manpages
+	  (patch by Todd C Miller).
+
+20010224
+	+ compiler-warning fixes (reported by Nelson Beebe).
+
+20010210
+	+ modify screen terminfo entry to use new 3.9.8 feature allowing xterm
+	  mouse controls -TD
+
+20010203
+	+ broaden patterns used to match OS/2 EMX in configure script to cover
+	  variant used in newer config.guess/config.sub
+	+ remove changequote() calls from configure script, since this feature
+	  is broken in the autoconf 2.49c alpha, maintainers decline to fix.
+	+ remove macro callPutChar() from tty_update.c, since this is no longer
+	  needed (reported by Philippe Blain).
+	+ add a null-pointer check in tic.c to handle the case when the input
+	  file is really empty.  Modify the next_char() function in comp_scan.c
+	  to allow arbitrarily long lines, and incidentally supply a newline to
+	  files that do not end in a newline.  These changes improve tic's
+	  recovery from attempts to read binary files, e.g., its output from
+	  the terminfo database (reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
+
+20010127
+	+ revert change to c++/demo.cc from 20001209, which changed definition
+	  of main() apparently to accommodate cygwin linker, but broke the demo
+	  program.
+	+ workaround for broken egcs 2.91.66 which calls member functions
+	  (i.e., lines() and colors() of NCursesWindow before calling its
+	  constructor.  Add calls to initialize() in a few constructors which
+	  did not do this already.
+	+ use the GNAT preprocessor to make the necessary switch between TRACE
+	  and NO_TRACE configurations (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
+	+ modify kterm terminfo entry to use SCS sequence to support alternate
+	  character set (it does not work with SI/SO).
+	+ --with-ospeed=something didn't work.  configure.in checked for a
+	  $enableval where it should check for $withval.  Also,
+	  ncurses/llib-lncurses still had a hardcoded short.
+
+20010114
+	+ correction to my merge of Tom Riddle's patch that broke tic in some
+	  conditions (reported by Enoch Wexler <enoch@wexler.co.il>) -TD
+
+20010113
+	+ modify view.c to test halfdelay().  Like other tests, this recognizes
+	  the 's' and space commands for stopping/starting polled input, shows
+	  a freerunning clock in the header.  If given a parameter to 's', that
+	  makes view.c use halfdelay() with that parameter rather than
+	  nodelay().
+	+ fix to allow compile with the experimental configure option
+	  --disable-hashmap.
+	+ modify postprocess_termcap() to avoid overwriting key_backspace,
+	  key_left, key_down when processing a non-base entry (report/patch by
+	  Tom Riddle).
+	+ modify _nc_wrap_entry(), adding option to reallocate the string
+	  table, needed in _nc_merge_entry() when merging termcap entries.
+	  (adapted from report/patch by Tom Riddle <ftr@oracom.com>).
+	+ modify a few configure script macros to keep $CFLAGS used only for
+	  compiler options, preprocessor options in $CPPFLAGS.
+
+20001230
+	+ correct marker positions in lrtest.c after receiving a sigwinch.
+	+ fix ifdef's in ncurses.c to build against pre-5.2 for testing.
+	+ fixes to tclock for resizing behavior, redundant computation (report
+	  and patch by A M Kuchling <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>).
+
+20001216
+	+ improved scoansi terminfo entry -TD
+	+ modify configure script and makefile in Ada95/src to compile a stub
+	  for the trace functions when ncurses does not provide those.
+
+20001209
+	+ add ncurses_dll.h and related definitions to support generating DLL's
+	  with cygwin (adapted from a patch by Charles Wilson
+	  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>, changed NCURSES_EXPORT macro to make it
+	  work with 'indent').
+
+20001202
+	+ correct prototypes for some functions in curs_termcap.3x, matching
+	  termcap.h, which matches X/Open.
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ a revised version of the Ada enhancements sent in by "H.
+	  Nanosecond", aka Eugene V Melaragno <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>.  This
+	  patch includes
+	  - small fixes to the existing ncurses binding
+	  - addition of some more low-level functions to the binding, including
+	    termcap and terminfo functions
+	  - An Ada implementation of the "ncurses" test application originally
+	    written in C.
+
+20001125
+	+ modify logic in lib_setup.c to allow either lines or columns value
+	  from terminfo to be used if the screen size cannot be determined
+	  dynamically rather than requiring both (patch by Ehud Karni
+	  <ehud@unix.simonwiesel.co.il>).
+	+ add check in lib_tgoto.c's is_termcap() function to reject null or
+	  empty strings (reported by Valentin Nechayev <netch@netch.kiev.ua> to
+	  freebsd-bugs).
+	+ add definition from configure script that denotes the path-separator,
+	  which is normally a colon.  The path-separator is a semicolon on
+	  OS/2 EMX and similar systems which may use a colon within pathnames.
+	+ alter logic to set default for --disable-overwrite option to set it
+	  to 'yes' if the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr/local, thereby
+	  accommodating the most common cause of problems: gcc's nonstandard
+	  search rules.  Other locations such as /usr/local/ncurses will
+	  default to overwriting (report by Lars Hecking <lhecking@nmrc.ie>).
+
+20001118
+	+ modify default for --disable-overwrite configure option to disable
+	  if the --prefix or $prefix value is not /usr.
+	+ add cygwin to systems for which ncurses is installed by default into
+	  /usr rather than /usr/local.
+
+20001111
+	+ minor optimization in comp_error.c and lib_termname.c, using
+	  strncat() to replace strncpy() (patch by Solar Designer).
+	+ add a use_terminfo_vars() check for $HOME/.termcap, and check for
+	  geteuid() to use_terminfo_vars() (patch by Solar Designer
+	  <solar@false.com>).
+	+ improved cygwin terminfo entry, based on patch by
+	  <ernie_boyd@yahoo.com>.
+	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to allow for the possibility that linking
+	  aliases on a filesystem that ignores case would not succeed because
+	  the source and destination differ only by case, e.g., NCR260VT300WPP0
+	  on cygwin (report by Neil Zanella).
+	+ fix a typo in the curs_deleteln.3x man page (patch by Bernhard
+	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
+
+20001104
+	+ add configure option --with-ospeed to assist packagers in transition
+	  to 5.3 change to ospeed type.
+	+ add/use CharOf() macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on
+	  platforms where this is a problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris.
+	+ change trace output to binary format.
+	+ correct a missing quote adjustment in CF_PATH_SYNTAX autoconf
+	  macro, for OS/2 EMX configuration.
+	+ rearrange a few configure macros, moving preprocessor options to
+	  $CPPFLAGS (a now-obsolete version of autoconf did not consistently
+	  use $CPPFLAGS in both the compile and preprocessor checks).
+	+ add a check in relative_move() to guard against buffer overflow in
+	  the overwrite logic.
+
+20001028
+	+ add message to configure script showing g++ version.
+	+ resync config.guess, config.sub
+	+ modify lib_delwin.c, making it return ERR if the window did not exist
+	  (suggested by Neil Zanella).
+	+ add cases for FreeBSD 3.1 to tdlint and makellib scripts, used this
+	  to test/review ncurses library.  (Would use lclint, but it doesn't
+	  work).
+	+ reorganized knight.c to avoid forward references.  Correct screen
+	  updates when backtracking, especially to the first cell.  Add F/B/a
+	  commands.
+
+20001021 5.2 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+	+ update generated html files from manpages.
+	+ modify dist.mk to use edit_man.sh to substitute autoconf'd variables
+	  in html manpages.
+	+ fix an uninitialized pointer in read_termcap.c (report by Todd C
+	  Miller, from report/patch by Philip Guenther <guenther@gac.edu>).
+	+ correct help-message and array limit in knight.c (patch by Brian
+	  Raiter <breadbox@muppetlabs.com>).
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ fix to avoid warning by GNAT-3.13p about use of inconsistent casing
+	  for some identifiers defined in the standard package.
+	+ cosmetic change to forms/fty_enum.c
+
+20001014
+	+ correct an off-by-one position in test/railroad.c which could cause
+	  wrapping at the right margin.
+	+ test/repair some issues with libtool configuration.  Make
+	  --disable-echo force libtool --silent.  (Libtool does not work for
+	  OS/2 EMX, works partly for SCO - libtool is still very specific to
+	  gcc).
+	+ change default of --with-manpage-tbl to "no", since for most of the
+	  platforms which do have tbl installed, the system "man" program
+	  understands how to run tbl automatically.
+	+ minor improvement to force_bar() in comp_parse.c (Bernhard
+	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
+	+ modify lib_tparm.c to use get_space() before writing terminating
+	  null character, both for consistency as well as to ensure that if
+	  save_char() was called immediately before, that the allocated memory
+	  is enough (patch by Sergei Ivanov).
+	+ add note about termcap ML capability which is duplicated between two
+	  different capabilities:  smgl and smglr (reported by Sergei Ivanov
+	  <svivanov@pdmi.ras.ru>).
+	+ correct parameter counts in include/Caps for dclk as well as some
+	  printer-specific capabilities: csnm, defc, scs, scsd, smgtp, smglp.
+	> patch by Johnny C Lam <lamj@stat.cmu.edu>:
+	+ add support for building with libtool (apparently version 1.3.5,
+	  since old versions do not handle -L../lib), using new configure
+	  option --with-libtool.
+	+ add configure option --with-manpage-tbl, which causes the manpages to
+	  be preprocessed by tbl(1) prior to installation,
+	+ add configure option --without-curses-h, which causes the
+	  installation process to install curses.h as ncurses.h and make
+	  appropriate changes to headers and manpages.
+
+20001009
+	+ correct order of options/parameters in run_tic.in invocation of tic,
+	  which did not work with standard getopt() (reported by Ethan
+	  Butterfield <primus@veris.org>).
+	+ correct logic for 'reverse' variable in lib_vidattr.c, which was
+	  setting it true without checking if newmode had A_REVERSE set, e.g.,
+	  using $TERM=ansi on OS/2 EMX (see 20000917).
+	> patch by Todd 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.  Change compiler
+	  options in that script to use multithreading, needed for the mouse.
+	+ modify OS/2 mouse support, retrying as a 2-button mouse if code fails
+	  to set up a 3-button mouse.
+	+ improve code for OS/2 mouse support, using _nc_timed_wait() to
+	  replace select() call.
+
+20001007
+	+ change type of ospeed variable back to short to match its use in
+	  legacy applications (reported by Andrey A Chernov).
+	+ add case to configure script for --enable-rpath on IRIX (patch by
+	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
+	+ minor fix to position_check() function, to ensure it gets the whole
+	  cursor report before decoding.
+	+ add configure option --disable-assumed-color, to allow pre-5.1
+	  convention of default colors used for color-pair 0 to be configured
+	  (see assume_default_colors()).
+	+ rename configure option --enable-hashmap --disable-hashmap, and
+	  reorder the configure options, splitting the experimental and
+	  development
+	+ add configure option --disable-root-environ, which tells ncurses to
+	  disregard $TERMINFO and similar environment variables if the current
+	  user is root, or running setuid/setgid (based on discussion with
+	  several people).
+	+ modified misc/run_tic.in to use tic -o, to eliminate dependency on
+	  $TERMINFO variable for installs.
+	+ add table entry for plab_norm to tput, so it passes in strings
+	  for that capability.
+	+ modify parse_format() in lib_tparm.c to ignore precision if it is
+	  longer than 10000 (report by Jouko Pynnonen).
+	+ rewrote limit checks in lib_mvcur.c using new functions
+	  _nc_safe_strcat(), etc.  Made other related changes to check lengths
+	  used for strcat/strcpy (report by Jouko Pynnonen
+	  <jouko@solutions.fi>).
+
+20000930
+	+ modify several descriptions, including those for setaf, setab, in
+	  include/Caps to indicate that the entries are parameterized.  This
+	  information is used to tell which strings are translated when
+	  converting to termcap.  Fixes a problem where the generated termcap
+	  would contain a spurious "%p1" for the terminfo "%p1%d".
+	+ modify ld -rpath options (e.g., Linux, and Solaris) to use an
+	  absolute pathname for the build tree's lib directory (prompted by
+	  discussion with Albert Chin-A-Young).
+	+ modify "make install.man" and "make uninstall.man" to include tack's
+	  man-page.
+	+ various fixes for install scripts used to support configure --srcdir
+	  and --with-install-prefix (reported by Matthew Clarke
+	  <Matthew_Clarke@mindlink.bc.ca>).
+	+ make configure script checks on variables $GCC and $GXX consistently
+	  compare against 'yes' rather than test if they are nonnull, since
+	  either may be set to the corresponding name of the C or C++ compiler
+	  (report/patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+
+20000923
+	+ modify rs2 capability in xterm-r6 and similar where cursor
+	  save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video attributes.
+	  The cursor restore would undo that (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.
+	+ some cleanup of logic in _nc_signal_handler() to verify if SIGWINCH
+	  handler is setup.  Separated the old/new sigaction data for SIGTSTP
+	  from the other signals.
+
+20000917
+	+ add S0, E0 extensions to screen's terminfo entry, which is another
+	  way to solve the misconfiguration issue -TD
+	+ completed special case for tgoto from 20000916
+
+20000916
+	+ update xterm terminfo entries to match XFree86 xterm patch #146 -TD
+	+ add Matrix Orbital terminfo entries (from Eric Z Ayers
+	  <eric@ale.org>).
+	+ add special case to lib_tparm.c to allow 'screen' program to use a
+	  termcap-style parameter "%." to tgoto() for switching character sets.
+	+ use LN_S substitution in run_tic.in, to work on OS/2 EMX which has
+	  no symbolic links.
+	+ updated notes in README.emx regarding autoconf patches.
+	+ replace a lookup table in lib_vidattr.c used to decode no_color_video
+	  with a logic expression (suggested by Philippe Blain).
+	+ add a/A toggle to ncurses.c 'b' test, which clears/sets alternate
+	  character set attribute from the displayed text.
+	+ correct inequality in parameter analysis of rewritten lib_tparm.c
+	  which had the effect of ignoring p9 in set_attributes (sgr), breaking
+	  alternate character set (reported by Piotr Majka <charvel@link.pl>).
+	+ correct ifdef'ing for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF which would not compile
+	  with Sun WorkShop compilers since these tokens were empty (cf:
+	  20000902, reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+
+20000909
+	+ correct an uninitialized parameter to open_tempfile() in tic.c which
+	  made "tic -I" give an ambiguous error message about tmpnam.
+	+ add special case in lib_vidattr.c to reset underline and standout for
+	  devices that have no sgr0 defined (patch by Don Lewis
+	  <Don.Lewis@tsc.tdk.com>).  Note that this will not work for bold
+	  mode, since there is no exit-bold-mode capability.
+	+ improved patch for Make_Enum_Type (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ modify tparm to disallow arithmetic on strings, analyze the varargs
+	  list to read strings as strings and numbers as numbers.
+	+ modify tparm's internal function spop() to treat a null pointer as
+	  an empty string.
+	+ modify tput program so it can be renamed or invoked via a link as
+	  'reset' or 'init', producing the same effect as 'tput reset' or 'tput
+	  init'.
+	+ add private entrypoint _nc_basename(), use to consolidate related
+	  code in progs, as well as accommodating OS/2 EMX pathnames.
+	+ remove NCURSES_CONST line from edit_cfg.sh to compensate for its
+	  removal (except via AC_SUBST) from configure.in, making
+	  --enable-const work again (reported by Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ regen'd configure to pick up "hpux*" change from 20000902.
+
+20000902
+	+ modify tset.c to check for transformed "reset" program name, if any.
+	+ add a check for null pointer in Make_Enum_Type() (reported by Steven
+	  W Orr <steveo@world.std.com>).
+	+ change functions _nc_parse_entry() and postprocess_termcap() to avoid
+	  using strtok(), because it is non-reentrant (reported by Andrey A
+	  Chernov <ache@nagual.pp.ru>).
+	+ remove "hpux10.*" case from CF_SHARED_OPTS configure script macro.
+	  This differed from the "hpux*" case by using reversed symbolic
+	  links, which made the 5.1 version not match the configuration of
+	  5.0 shared libraries (reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+	+ correct a dependency in Ada95/src/Makefile.in which prevented
+	  building with configure --srcdir (patch by H Nanosecond
+	  <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>).
+	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in to avoid warning if GCC_PRINTF or
+	  GCC_SCANF was not previously defined (reported by Pavel Roskin
+	  <proski@gnu.org>).
+	+ add MKncurses_def.sh to generate fallback definitions for
+	  ncurses_cfg.h, to quiet gcc -Wundef warnings, modified ifdef's in
+	  code to consistently use "#if" rather than "#ifdef".
+
+20000826
+	+ add QNX qansi entries to terminfo -TD
+	+ add os2 entry to misc/emx.src (<jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
+	+ add configure option --with-database to allow specifying a different
+	  terminfo source-file to install.  On OS/2 EMX, this defaults to
+	  misc/emx.src
+	+ change misc/run_tic.sh to derive it from misc/run_tic.in, to simplify
+	  setting .exe extension on OS/2 EMX.
+	+ add .exe extension in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in,
+	  Ada95/samples/Makefile.in, for OS/2 EMX (reported by
+	  <jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
+	+ add configure check for filesystems (such as OS/2 EMX) which do not
+	  distinguish between upper/lowercase filenames, use this to fix tags
+	  rules in makefiles.
+	+ initialize fds[] array to 0's in _nc_timed_wait(); apparently poll()
+	  only sets the revents members of that array when there is activity
+	  corresponding to the related file (report by Glenn Cooper
+	  <gcooper@qantas.com.au>, using Purify on Solaris 5.6).
+	+ change configure script to use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM rather than
+	  AC_CANONICAL_HOST, which means that configure --target will set
+	  a default program-prefix.
+	+ add note on cross-compiling to INSTALL (which does not rely on the
+	  AC_CANONICAL_* macros).
+
+20000819
+	+ add cases for EMX OS/2 to config.guess, config.sub
+	+ new version of config.guess, config.sub from lynx 2.8.4dev.7
+	+ add definitions via transform.h to allow tic and tput to check for
+	  the transformed aliases rather than the original infotocap, etc.
+	+ simplify transform-expressions in progs/Makefile.in, make the
+	  uninstall rule work for transformed program names.
+	+ change symbol used by --install-prefix configure option from
+	  INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR (the latter has become common usage
+	  although the name is misleading).
+	+ modify programs to use curses_version() string to report the version
+	  of ncurses with which they are compiled rather than the
+	  NCURSES_VERSION string.  The function returns the patch level in
+	  addition to the major and minor version numbers.
+
+20000812
+	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to make transformed program names
+	  a parameter to that macro rather than embedding them in the macro.
+	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in lynx
+	  2.8.4dev.7).
+	+ add configure option --with-default-terminfo-dir=DIR to allow
+	  specifying the default terminfo database directory (request by Albert
+	  Chin-A-Young).
+	+ minor updates for terminfo.src from FreeBSD termcap change-history.
+	+ correct notes in README and INSTALL regarding documentation files
+	  that were moved from misc directory to doc (report by Rich Kulawiec
+	  <rsk@gsp.org>).
+	+ change most remaining unquoted parameters of 'test' in configure
+	  script to use quotes, for instance fixing a problem in the
+	  --disable-database option (reported by Christian Mondrup
+	  <scancm@biobase.dk>).
+	+ minor adjustments to work around some of the incompatibilities/bugs
+	  in autoconf 2.29a alpha.
+	+ add -I/usr/local/include when --with-ncurses option is used in
+	  test/configure script.
+	+ correct logic in adjust_cancels(), which did not check both
+	  alternatives when reclassifying an extended name between boolean,
+	  number and string, causing an infinite loop in tic.
+
+20000730
+	+ correct a missing backslash in curses.priv.h
+
+20000729
+	+ change handling of non_dest_scroll_region in tty_update.c to clear
+	  text after it is shifted in rather than before shifting out.  Also
+	  correct row computation (reported by Ruediger Kuhlmann
+	  <uck4@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>).
+	+ add/use new trace function to display chtype values from winch() and
+	  getbkgd().
+	+ add trace mask TRACE_ATTRS, alter several existing _tracef calls that
+	  trace attribute changes under TRACE_CALLS to use this.
+	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh so that functions returning chtype will call
+	  returnChar().
+	+ add returnChar() trace, for functions returning chtype.
+	+ change indent.pro to line up parenthesis.
+
+20000722
+	+ fix a heap problem with the c++ binding (report by
+	  <alexander_liberson@ninewest.com>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ minor adjustment to ClrToEOL() to handle an out-of-bounds parameter.
+	+ modify the check for big-core to force a couple of memory accesses,
+	  which may work as needed for older/less-capable machines (if not,
+	  there's still the explicit configure option).
+	> fixes based on diff's for Amiga and BeOS found at
+	  http://www.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~kuhlmann/cross/ncurses/
+	+ alter definition of NCURSES_CONST to make it non-empty.
+	+ add amiga-vnc terminfo entry.
+	+ redefine 'TEXT' in menu.h for AMIGA, since it is reported to have
+	  an (unspecified) symbol conflict.
+	+ replaced case-statement in _nc_tracebits() for CSIZE with a table to
+	  simplify working around implementations that define random
+	  combinations of the related macros to zero.
+	+ modify configure test for tcgetattr() to allow for old
+	  implementations, e.g., on BeOS, which only defined it as a macro.
+	> patches by Bruno Haible:
+	+ when checking LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables for UTF-8
+	  locale, ignore those which are set to an empty value, as per SUSV2.
+	+ encode 0xFFFD in UTF-8 with 3 bytes, not 2.
+	+ modify _nc_utf8_outch() to avoid sign-extension when checking for
+	  out-of-range value.
+
+20000715
+	+ correct manlinks.sed script to avoid using ERE "\+", which is not
+	  understood by older versions of sed (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+	+ implement configure script options that transform installed program
+	  names, e.g., --program-prefix, including the manpage names and cross
+	  references (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>).
+	+ correct several mismatches between manpage filename and ".TH"
+	  directives, renaming dft_fgbg.3x to default_colors.3x and
+	  menu_attribs.3x to menu_attributes.3x (report by Todd C Miller).
+	+ correct missing includes for <string.h> in several places, including
+	  the C++ binding.  This is not noted by gcc unless we use the
+	  -fno-builtin option (reported by Igor Schein <igor@txc.com>).
+	+ modified progs/tset.c and tack/sysdep.c to build with sgttyb
+	  interface if neither termio or termios is available.  Tested this
+	  with FreeBSD 2.1.5 (which does have termios - but the sgttyb does
+	  work).
+
+20000708 5.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+	+ document configure options in INSTALL.
+	+ add man-page for ncurses trace functions.
+	+ correct return value shown in curs_touch.3x for is_linetouched() and
+	  is_wintouched(), in curs_initscr.3x for isendwin(), and in
+	  curs_termattr.3x for has_ic() and has_il().
+	+ add prototypes for touchline() and touchwin(), adding them to the
+	  list of generated functions.
+	+ modify fifo_push() to put ERR into the fifo just like other values to
+	  return from wgetch().  It was returning without doing that, making
+	  end-of-file condition incorrectly return a 0 (reported by Todd C
+	  Miller).
+	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS for progs and tack (see 971115), since they
+	  are needed for SCO OpenServer.
+	+ move _nc_disable_period from free_ttype.c to comp_scan.c to appease
+	  dynamic loaders on SCO and IRIX64.
+	+ add "-a" option to test/ncurses.c to invoke assume_default_colors()
+	  for testing.
+	+ correct assignment in assume_default_colors() which tells ncurses
+	  whether to use default colors, or the assumed ones (reported by Gary
+	  Funck <gary@Intrepid.Com>).
+	+ review/correct logic in mk-1st.awk for making symbolic links for
+	  shared libraries, in particular for FreeBSD, etc.
+	+ regenerate misc/*.def files for OS/2 EMX dll's.
+	+ correct quoting of values for CC_SHARED_OPTS in aclocal.m4 for
+	  cases openbsd2*, openbsd*, freebsd* and netbsd* (patch by Peter
+	  Wemm) (err in 20000610).
+	+ minor updates to release notes, as well as adding/updating URLs for
+	  examples cited in announce.html
+	> several fixes from Philippe Blain <philippe.blain2@freesbee.fr>:
+	+ correct placement of ifdef for NCURSES_XNAMES in function
+	  _nc_free_termtype(), fixes a memory leak.
+	+ add a call to _nc_synchook() to the end of function whline() like
+	  that in wvline() (difference was in 1.9.4).
+	+ make ClearScreen() a little faster by moving two instances of
+	  UpdateAttr() out of for-loops.
+	+ simplify ClrBottom() by eliminating the tstLine data, using for-loops
+	  (cf: 960428).
+
+20000701 pre-release
+	+ change minor version to 1, i.e., ncurses 5.1
+	+ add experimental configure option --enable-colorfgbg to check for
+	  $COLORTERM variable as set by rxvt/aterm/Eterm.
+	+ add Eterm terminfo entry (Michael Jennings <mej@valinux.com>).
+	+ modify manlinks.sed to pick aliases from the SYNOPSIS section, and
+	  several manpages so manlinks.sed can find aliases for creating
+	  symbolic links.
+	+ add explanation to run_tic.sh regarding extended terminal
+	  capabilities.
+	+ change message format for edit_cfg.sh, since some people interpret
+	  it as a warning.
+	+ correct unescaped '$' in sysv5uw7*|unix_sv* rule for CF_SHARED_OPTS
+	  configure macro (report by Thanh Ma <Thanh.Ma@casi-rusco.com>).
+	+ correct logic in lib_twait.c as used by lib_mouse.c for GPM mouse
+	  support when poll() is used rather than select() (prompted by
+	  discussion with David Allen <DAllen24@aol.com>).
+
+20000624 pre-release
+	+ modify TransformLine() to check for cells with different color pairs
+	  that happen to render the same display colors.
+	+ apply $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to cost-computation in mvcur().
+	+ improve cost computation in PutRange() by accounting for the use
+	  of parm_right_cursor in mvcur().
+	+ correct cost computation in EmitRange(), which was not using the
+	  normalized value for cursor_address.
+	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in TIN 1.5.6).
+
+20000617
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in PCRE 3.2).
+	+ resync changes to gnathtml against version 1.22, regenerated html
+	  files under doc/html/ada using this (1.22.1.1).
+	+ regenerated html files under doc/html/man after correcting top and
+	  bottom margin options for man2html in dist.mk
+	+ minor fixes to test programs ncurses 'i' and testcurs program to make
+	  the subwindow's background color cover the subwindow.
+	+ modify configure script so AC_MSG_ERROR is temporarily defined to a
+	  warning in AC_PROG_CXX to make it recover from a missing C++ compiler
+	  without requiring user to add --without-cxx option (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.  Correct
+	  the display in the menu tack/test/edit/c (patch by Daniel Weaver).
+	+ xterm-16color does allow bold+colors, removed ncv#32 from that
+	  terminfo entry.
+
+20000506
+	+ correct assignment to SP->_has_sgr_39_49 in lib_dft_fgbg.c, which
+	  broke check for screen's AX capability (reported by Valeriy E Ushakov
+	  <uwe@ptc.spbu.ru>).
+	+ change man2html rule in dist.mk to workaround bug in some
+	  man-programs that ignores locale when rendering hyphenation.
+	+ change web- and ftp-site to dickey.his.com
+
+20000429
+	+ move _nc_curr_token from parse_entry.c to comp_scan.c, to work around
+	  problem linking tack on MacOS X DP3.
+	+ include <sys/time.h> in lib_napms.c to compile on MacOS X DP3
+	  (reported by Gerben Wierda <wierda@holmes.nl>).
+	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to check for ncv fixes when pair-0 is not
+	  default colors.
+	+ add -d option to ncurses.c, to turn on default-colors for testing.
+	+ add a check to _nc_makenew() to ensure that newwin() and newpad()
+	  calls do not silently fail by passing too-large limits.
+	+ add symbol NCURSES_SIZE_T to use rather than explicit 'short' for
+	  internal window and pad sizes.  Note that since this is visible in
+	  the WINDOW struct, it would be an ABI change to make this an 'int'
+	  (prompted by a question by Bastian Trompetter
+	  <btrompetter@firemail.de>, who attempted to create a 96000-line pad).
+
+20000422
+	+ add mgterm terminfo entry from NetBSD, minor adjustments to sun-ss5,
+	  aixterm entries -TD
+	+ modify tack/ansi.c to make it more tolerant of bad ANSI replies.  An
+	  example of an illegal ANSI resonse can be found using Microsoft's
+	  Telnet client.  A correct display can be found using a VT-4xx
+	  terminal or XFree86 xterm with:
+		XTerm*VT100*decTerminalID:  450
+	  (patch by Daniel Weaver).
+	+ modify gdc.c to recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' '
+	  for resume.  Add '-n' option to force gdc's standard input to
+	  /dev/null, to both illustrate the use of newterm() for specifying
+	  alternate inputs as well as for testing signal handling.
+	+ minor fix for configure option --with-manpage-symlinks, for target
+	  directories that contain a period ('.') (reported by Larry Virden).
+
+20000415
+	+ minor additions to beterm entry (feedback from Rico Tudor) -TD
+	+ corrections/updates for some IBM terminfo entries -TD
+	+ modify _nc_screen_wrap() so that when exiting curses mode with
+	  non-default colors, the last line on the screen will be cleared to
+	  the screen's default colors (request by Alexander 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).  This affects multi-entry in-core operations
+	  such as "infocmp -Fa".
+
+20000319
+	+ remove a spurious pointer increment in _nc_infotocap() changes from
+	  20000311.  Add check for '.' in format of number, since that also
+	  is not permitted in termcap.
+	+ correct typo in rxvt-basic terminfo from temporary change made while
+	  integrating 20000318.
+
+20000318
+	+ revert part of the vt220 change (request by Todd C Miller).
+	+ add ansi-* terminfo entries from Eric's version.
+	+ add -a option to tic and infocmp, which retains commented-out
+	  capabilities during source translation/comparison, e.g., captoinfo
+	  and infotocap.
+	+ modify cardfile.c to display an empty card if no input data file is
+	  found, fixes a core dump in that case (reported by Bruno Haible).
+	+ correct bracketing in CF_MATH_LIB configure macro, which gave wrong
+	  result for OS/2 EMX.
+	+ supply required parameter for _nc_resolve_uses() call in
+	  read_termcap.c, overlooked in 20000311 (reported by Todd C Miller).
+	> patches by Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>:
+	+ fix a compiler warning in fty_enum.c
+	+ correct LIB_PREFIX expression for DEPS_CURSES in progs, tack
+	  makefiles, which resulted in redundant linking (cf: 20000122).
+
+20000311
+	+ make ifdef's for BROKEN_LINKER consistent (patch by Todd C Miller).
+	+ improved tack/README (patch by Daniel Weaver).
+	+ modify tput.c to ensure that unspecified parameters are passed to
+	  tparm() as 0's.
+	+ add a few checks in infocmp to guard against buffer overflow when
+	  displaying string capabilities.
+	+ add check for zero-uses in infocmp's file_comparison() function
+	  before calling _nc_align_termtype().  Otherwise one parameter is
+	  indexed past the end of the uses-array.
+	+ add an option -q to infocmp to specify the less verbose output,
+	  keeping the existing format as the default, though not retaining the
+	  previous behavior that made the -F option compare each entry to
+	  itself.
+	+ adapted patch by Eric Raymond to make infocmp -F less verbose
+	  (the submitted patch was unusable because it did not compile
+	  properly):
+	  + modify write_entry.c to ensure that absent or cancelled booleans
+	    are written as FALSE, for consistency with infocmp which now
+	    assumes this.  Note that for the small-core configuration, tic
+	    may not produce the same result as before.
+	  + change some private library interfaces used by infocmp, e.g.,
+	    _nc_resolve_uses().
+	  + add a check in _nc_infotocap() to ensure that cm-style capabilities
+	    accept only %d codes when converting the format from terminfo to
+	    termcap.
+	  + modify ENTRY struct to separate the data in 'parent' into the name
+	    and link values (the original idea to merge both into 'parent' was
+	    not good).
+	  + discard repair_acsc(tterm);
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ drop support for gnat 3.10
+	+ move generated documentation and html files under ./doc directory,
+	  adding makefile rules for this to dist.mk
+
+20000304
+	+ correct conflicting use of tparm() in 20000226 change to tic, which
+	  made it check only one entry at a time.
+	+ fix errors in ncurses-intro.html and hackguide.html shown by Dave
+	  Raggett's tidy.
+	+ make the example in ncurses-intro.html do something plausible, and
+	  corrected misleading comment (reported by Neil Zanella).
+	+ modify pnoutrefresh() to set newscr->_leaveok as wnoutrefresh() does,
+	  to fix a case where the cursor position was not updated as in
+	  Solaris  (patch by David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>).
+	+ add a limit-check for wresize() to ensure that a subwindow does not
+	  address out of bounds.
+	+ correct offsets used for subwindows in wresize() (patch by Michael
+	  Andres <ma@suse.de>).
+	+ regenerate html'ized manual pages with man2html 3.0.1 (patch by
+	  Juergen Pfeifer).  This generated a file with a space in its name,
+	  which I removed.
+	+ fix a few spelling errors in tack.
+	+ modify tack/Makefile.in to match linker options of progs/Makefile.in;
+	  otherwise it does not build properly for older HPUX shared library
+	  configurations.
+	+ add several terminfo entries from esr's "11.0".
+
+20000226
+	+ make 'tput flash' work properly for xterm by flushing output in
+	  delay_output() when using napms(), and modifying xterm's terminfo to
+	  specify no padding character.  Otherwise, xterm's reported baud rate
+	  can mislead ncurses into producing too few padding characters
+	  (Debian #58530).
+	+ add a check to tic for consistency between sgr and the separate
+	  capabilities such as smso, use this to check/correct several
+	  terminfo entries (Debian #58530).
+	+ add a check to tic if cvvis is the same as cnorm, adjusted several
+	  terminfo entries to remove the conflict (Debian #58530).
+	+ correct prototype shown in attr_set()/wattr_set() manpages (fixes
+	  Debian #53962).
+	+ minor clarification for curs_set() and leaveok() manpages.
+	+ use mkstemp() for creating temporary file for tic's processing of
+	  $TERMCAP contents (fixes Debian #56465).
+	+ correct two errors from integrating Alexander's changes:  did not
+	  handle the non-bce case properly in can_erase_with() (noted by
+	  Alexander), and left fg/bg uninitialized in the pair-zero case of
+	  _nc_do_color() (reported by Dr Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> and
+	  Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@cordeiro.com>).
+
+20000219
+	+ store default-color code consistently as C_MASK, even if given as
+	  -1 for convenience (adapted from patches by Alexander Lukyanov).
+	> patches by Alexander Lukyanov:
+	+ change can_clear_with() macro to accommodate logic for
+	  assume_default_colors(), making most of the FILL_BCE logic
+	  unnecessary.  Made can_clear_with() an inline function to make it
+	  simpler to read.
+
+20000212
+	+ corrected form of recent copyright dates.
+	+ minor corrections to xterm-xf86-v333 terminfo entry -TD
+	> patches by Alexander Lukyanov:
+	+ reworded dft_fgbg.3x to avoid assuming that the terminal's default
+	  colors are white on black.
+	+ fix initialization of tstLine so that it is filled with current blank
+	  character in any case.  Previously it was possible to have it filled
+	  with old blank.  The wrong over-optimization was introduced in 991002
+	  patch.  (it is not very critical as the only bad effect is not using
+	  clr_eos for clearing if blank has changed).
+
+20000205
+	+ minor corrections/updates to several terminfo entries: rxvt-basic,
+	  vt520, vt525, ibm5151, xterm-xf86-v40 -TD
+	+ modify ifdef's for poll() to allow it to use <sys/poll.h>, thereby
+	  allowing poll() to be used on Linux.
+	+ add CF_FUNC_POLL macro to check if poll() is able to select from
+	  standard input.  If not we will not use it, preferring select()
+	  (adapted from patch by Michael Pakovic <mpakovic@fdn.com>).
+	+ update CF_SHARED_OPTS macro for SCO Unixware 7.1 to allow building
+	  shared libraries (reported/tested by Thanh <thanhma@mediaone.net>).
+	+ override $LANGUAGE in build to avoid incorrect ordering of keynames.
+	+ correct CF_MATH_LIB parameter, must be sin(x), not sqrt(x).
+
+20000122
+	+ resync CF_CHECK_ERRNO and CF_LIB_PREFIX macros from tin and xterm.
+	+ modify CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to parameterize the test function
+	  used, for reuse in dialog and similar packages.
+	+ correct tests for file-descriptors in OS/2 EMX mouse support.  A
+	  negative value could be used by FD_SET, causing the select() call
+	  to wait indefinitely.
+
+20000115
+	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of delete_character)
+	  to work when assume_default_colors() is not specified.
+	+ modify warning message from _nc_parse_entry() regarding extended
+	  capability names to print only if tic/infocmp/toe have the -v flag
+	  set, and not at all in ordinary user applications.  Otherwise, this
+	  warning would be shown for screen's extended capabilities in programs
+	  that use the termcap interface (reported by Todd C Miller).
+	+ modify use of _nc_tracing from programs such as tic so their debug
+	  level is not in the same range as values set by trace() function.
+	+ small panel header cleanup (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ add 'railroad' demo for termcap interface.
+	+ modify 'tic' to write its usage message to stderr (patch by Todd C
+	  Miller).
+
+20000108
+	+ add prototype for erase() to curses.h.in, needed to make test
+	  programs build with c++/g++.
+	+ add .c.i and .c.h suffix rules to generated makefiles, for debugging.
+	+ correct install rule for tack.1; it assumed that file was in the
+	  current directory (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>).
+	+ modify terminfo/termcap translation to suppress acsc before trying
+	  sgr if the entry would be too large (patch by Todd C Miller).
+	+ document a special case of incompatiblity between ncurses 4.2 and
+	  5.0, add a section for this in INSTALL.
+	+ add TRACE_DATABASE flag for trace().
+
+20000101
+	+ update mach, add mach-color terminfo entries based on Debian diffs
+	  for ncurses 5.0 -TD
+	+ add entries for xterm-hp, xterm-vt220, xterm-vt52 and xterm-noapp
+	  terminfo entries -TD
+	+ change OTrs capabilities to rs2 in terminfo.src -TD
+	+ add obsolete and extended capabilities to 'screen' terminfo -TD
+	+ corrected conversion from terminfo rs2 to termcap rs (cf: 980704)
+	+ make conversion to termcap ug (underline glitch) more consistently
+	  applied.
+	+ fix out-of-scope use of 'personal[]' buffer in 'toe' (this error
+	  was in the original pre-1.9.7 version, when $HOME/.terminfo was
+	  introduced).
+	+ modify 'toe' to ignore terminfo directories to which it has no
+	  permissions.
+	+ modify read_termtype(), fixing 'toe', which could dump core when it
+	  found an incomplete entry such as "dumb" because it did not
+	  initialize its buffer for _nc_read_file_entry().
+	+ use -fPIC rather than -fpic for shared libraries on Linux, not
+	  needed for i386 but some ports (from Debian diffs for 5.0).
+	+ use explicit VALID_NUMERIC() checks in a few places that had been
+	  overlooked, and add a check to ensure that init_tabs is nonzero,
+	  to avoid divide-by-zero (reported by Todd C Miller).
+	+ minor fix for CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK configure macro, for HPUX 10.x (from
+	  tin).
+
+19991218
+	+ reorder tests during mouse initialization to allow for gpm to run in
+	  xterm, or for xterm to be used under OS/2 EMX.  Also drop test for
+	  $DISPLAY in favor of kmous=\E[M or $TERM containing "xterm" (report
+	  by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>).
+	+ modify raw() and noraw() to clear/restore IEXTEN flag which affects
+	  stty lnext on systems such as FreeBSD (report by Bruce Evans
+	  <bde@zeta.org.au>, via Jason Evans <jasone@canonware.com>).
+	+ fix a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in failed() function
+	  of tset.c (reported by Todd C Miller).
+	+ add manual-page for ncurses extensions, documented curses_version(),
+	  use_extended_names().
+
+19991211
+	+ treat as untranslatable to termcap those terminfo strings which
+	  contain non-decimal formatting, e.g., hexadecimal or octal.
+	+ correct commented-out capabilities that cannot be translated to
+	  termcap, which did not check if a colon must be escaped.
+	+ correct termcap translation for "%>" and "%+", which did not check
+	  if a colon must be escaped, for instance.
+	+ use save_string/save_char for _nc_captoinfo() to eliminate fixed
+	  buffer (originally for _nc_infotocap() in 960301 -TD).
+	+ correct expression used for terminfo equivalent of termcap %B,
+	  adjust regent100 entry which uses this.
+	+ some cleanup and commenting of ad hoc cases in _nc_infotocap().
+	+ eliminate a fixed-buffer in tic, used for translating comments.
+	+ add manpage for infotocap
+
+19991204
+	+ add kvt and gnome terminfo entries -TD
+	+ correct translation of "%%" by infotocap, which was emitted as "%".
+	+ add "obsolete" termcap strings to terminfo.src
+	+ modify infocmp to default to showing obsolete capabilities rather
+	  than terminfo only.
+	+ modify write_entry.c so that if extended names (i.e., configure
+	  --enable-tcap-names) are active, then tic will also write "obsolete"
+	  capabilities that are present in the terminfo source.
+	+ modify tic so that when running as captoinfo or infotocap, it
+	  initializes the output format as in -C and -I options, respectively.
+	+ improve infocmp and tic -f option by splitting long strings that do
+	  not have if-then-else construct, but do have parameters, e.g., the
+	  initc for xterm-88color.
+	+ refine MKtermsort.sh slightly by using bool for the *_from_termcap
+	  arrays.
+
+19991127
+	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of clear_screen,
+	  clr_eol, clr_eos, scrolling) to work when assume_default_colors() is
+	  not specified.
+	+ several small changes to xterm terminfo entries -TD.
+	+ move logic for _nc_windows in lib_freeall.c inside check for nonnull
+	  SP, since it is part of that struct.
+	+ remove obsolete shlib-versions, which was unintentionally re-added
+	  in 970927.
+	+ modify infocmp -e, -E options to ensure that generated fallback.c
+	  type for Booleans agrees with term.h (reported by Eric Norum
+	  <eric@cls.usask.ca>).
+	+ correct configure script's use of $LIB_PREFIX, which did not work
+	  for installing the c++ directory if $libdir did not end with "/lib"
+	  (reported by Huy Le <huyle@ugcs.caltech.edu>).
+	+ modify infocmp so -L and -f options work together.
+	+ modify the initialization of SP->_color_table[] in start_color() so
+	  that color_content() will return usable values for COLORS greater
+	  than 8.
+	+ modify ncurses 'd' test in case COLORS is greater than 16, e.g., for
+	  xterm-88color, to limit the displayed/computed colors to 16.
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ simplify coding of the panel library according to suggestions by
+	  Philippe Blain.
+	+ improve macro coding for a few macros in curses.priv.h
+
+19991113
+	+ modify treatment of color pair 0 so that if ncurses is configured
+	  to support default colors, and they are not active, then ncurses
+	  will set that explicitly, not relying on orig_colors or orig_pair.
+	+ add new extension, assume_default_colors() to provide better control
+	  over the use of default colors.
+	+ modify test programs to use more-specific ifdef's for existence of
+	  wresize(), resizeterm() and use_default_colors().
+	+ modify configure script to add specific ifdef's for some functions
+	  that are included when --enable-ext-funcs is in effect, so their
+	  existence can be ifdef'd in the test programs.
+	+ reorder some configure options, moving those extensions that have
+	  evolved from experimental status into a new section.
+	+ change configure --enable-tcap-names to enable this by default.
+
+19991106
+	+ install tack's manpage (reported by Robert Weiner
+	  <robert@progplus.com>)
+	+ correct worm.c's handling of KEY_RESIZE (patch by Frank Heckenbach).
+	+ modify curses.h.in, undef'ing some symbols to avoid conflict with C++
+	  STL (reported by Matt Gerassimoff <mgeras@ticon.net>)
+
+19991030
+	+ modify linux terminfo entry to indicate that dim does not mix with
+	  color (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@enteract.com>).
+	+ correct several typos in terminfo entries related to missing '['
+	  in CSI's -TD
+	+ fix several compiler warnings in c++ binding (reported by Tim
+	  Mooney for alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f
+	+ rename parameter of _nc_free_entries() to accommodate lint.
+	+ correct lint rule for tack, used incorrect list of source files.
+	+ add case to config.guess, config.sub for Rhapsody.
+	+ improve configure tests for libg++ and libstdc++ by omitting the
+	  math library (which is missing on Rhapsody), and improved test for
+	  the math library itself (adapted from path by Nelson H. F. Beebe).
+	+ explicitly initialize to zero several data items which were
+	  implicitly initialized, e.g., cur_term.  If not explicitly
+	  initialized, their storage type is C (common), and causes problems
+	  linking on Rhapsody 5.5 using gcc 2.7.2.1 (reported by Nelson H. F.
+	  Beebe).
+	+ modify Ada95 binding to not include the linker option for Ada
+	  bindings in the Ada headers, but in the Makefiles instead (patch by
+	  Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+19991023 5.0 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+	+ effective with release of 5.0, change NCURSES_VERSION_PATCH to
+	  4-digit year.
+	+ add function curses_version(), to return ncurses library version
+	  (request by Bob van der Poel).
+	+ remove rmam, smam from cygwin terminfo entry.
+	+ modify FreeBSD cons25 terminfo entry to add cnorm and cvvis, as well
+	  as update ncv to indicate that 'dim' conflicts with colors.
+	+ modify configure script to use symbolic links for FreeBSD shared
+	  libraries by default.
+	+ correct ranf() function in rain and worm programs to ensure it does
+	  not return 1.0
+	+ hide the cursor in hanoi.c if it is running automatically.
+	+ amend lrtest.c to account for optimizations that exploit margin
+	  wrapping.
+	+ add a simple terminfo demo, dots.c
+	+ modify SIGINT/SIGQUIT handler to set a flag used in _nc_outch() to
+	  tell it to use write() rather than putc(), since the latter is not
+	  safe in a signal handler according to POSIX.
+	+ add/use internal macros _nc_flush() and NC_OUTPUT to hide details
+	  of output-file pointer in ncurses library.
+	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS (see 971115), since they are needed for SCO
+	  OpenServer.
+	+ correct CC_SHARED_OPTS for building shared libraries for SCO
+	  OpenServer.
+	+ remove usleep() from alternatives in napms(), since it may interact
+	  with alarm(), causing a process to be interrupted by SIGALRM (with
+	  advice from Bela Lubkin).
+	+ modify terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4 to build/work with
+	  GNAT 3.10 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ remove part of CF_GPP_LIBRARY configure-script macro, which did not
+	  work with gcc 2.7.2.3
+	+ minor fix to test/tclock.c to avoid beeping more than once per second
+	+ add 's' and ' ' decoding to test/rain.c
+
+991016	pre-release
+	+ corrected BeOS code for lib_twait.c, making nodelay() function work.
+
+991009	pre-release
+	+ correct ncurses' value for cursor-column in PutCharLR(), which was
+	  off-by-one in one case (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
+	+ fix some minor errors in position_check() debugging code, found while
+	  using this to validate the PutCharLR() patch.
+	+ modify firework, lrtest, worm examples to be resizable, and to
+	  recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' ' for resume.
+	+ restore reverted change to  terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
+	  add a note on building with gnat 3.10p to Ada95/TODO.
+	+ add a copy of the standalone configure script for the test-directory
+	  to simplify testing on SCO and Solaris.
+
+991002	pre-release
+	+ minor fixes for _nc_msec_cost(), color_content(), pair_content(),
+	  _nc_freewin(), ClrBottom() and onscreen_mvcur() (analysis by Philippe
+	  Blain, comments by Alexander Lukyanov).
+	+ simplify definition of PANEL and eliminate internal functions
+	  _nc_calculate_obscure(), _nc_free_obscure() and _nc_override(),
+	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, based on analysis by Philippe Blain
+	  <bledp@voila.fr>)).
+	+ change renaming of dft_fgbg.3x to use_default_colors.3ncurses in
+	  man_db.renames, since Debian is not concerned with 14-character
+	  filename limitation (from Debian bug report by Josip Rodin
+	  <joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>).
+	+ corrected scoansi terminfo entry by testing with scoterm and console.
+	+ revert change from 990614 to terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
+	  since this does not work for gnat 3.10p
+	+ modify tclock example to be resizable (if ncurses' sigwinch handler
+	  is used), and in color.
+	+ use $(CC) rather than 'gcc' in MK_SHARED_LIB symbols, used for Linux
+	  shared library rules.
+
+990925	pre-release
+	+ add newer NetBSD console terminfo entries
+	+ add amiga-8bit terminfo entry (from Henning 'Faroul' Peters
+	  <Faroul@beyond.kn-bremen.de>)
+	+ remove -lcurses -ltermcap from configure script's check for the gpm
+	  library, since they are not really necessary (a properly configured
+	  gpm library has no dependency on any curses library), and if the
+	  curses library is not installed, this would cause the test to fail.
+	+ modify tic's -C option so that terminfo "use=" clauses are translated
+	  to "tc=" clauses even when running it as captoinfo.
+	+ modify CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY configure macro to perform its check only
+	  for GNU C++, since that library conflicts with SGI's libC on IRIX-6.2
+	+ modify CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro to support build on NetBSD with
+	  ELF libraries (patch by Bernd Ernesti <bernd@arresum.inka.de>).
+	+ correct a problem in libpanel, where the _nc_top_panel variable was
+	  not set properly when bottom_panel() is called to hide a panel which
+	  is the only one on the stack (report/analysis by Michael Andres
+	  <ma@suse.de>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+990918	pre-release
+	+ add acsc string to HP 70092 terminfo entry (patch by Joerg Wunsch
+	  <j@interface-business.de>).
+	+ add top-level uninstall.data and uninstall.man makefile rules.
+	+ correct logic of CF_LINK_FUNCS configure script, from BeOS changes so
+	  that hard-links work on Unix again.
+	+ change default value of cf_cv_builtin_bool to 1 as suggested by
+	  Jeremy Buhler, making it less likely that a conflicting declaration
+	  of bool will be seen when compiling with C++.
+
+990911	pre-release
+	+ improved configure checks for builtin.h
+	+ minor changes to C++ binding (remove static initializations, and make
+	  configure-test for parameter initializations) for features not
+	  allowed by vendor's C++ compilers (reported by Martin Mokrejs, this
+	  applies to SGI, though I found SCO has the same characteristics).
+	+ corrected quoting of ETIP_xxx definitions which support old versions
+	  of g++, e.g., those using -lg++
+	+ remove 'L' code from safe_sprintf.c, since 'long double' is not
+	  widely portable.  safe_sprintf.c is experimental, however, and
+	  exists mainly as a fallback for systems without snprintf (reported
+	  by Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>, for IRIX 6.2)
+	+ modify definition of _nc_tinfo_fkeys in broken-linker configuration
+	  so that it is not unnecessarily made extern (Jeffrey C Honig).
+
+990904	pre-release
+	+ move definition for builtin.h in configure tests to specific check
+	  for libg++, since qt uses the same filename incompatibly.
+	+ correct logic of lib_termcap.c tgetstr function, which did not copy
+	  the result to the buffer parameter.  Testing shows Solaris does
+	  update this, though of course tgetent's buffer is untouched (from
+	  mpc.lists.freebsd.current newsgroup item by Peter Edwards
+	  <peter.edwards@ireland.com>).
+	+ corrected beterm terminfo entry, which lists some capabilities which
+	  are not actually provided by the BeOS Terminal.
+	+ add special logic to replace select() calls on BeOS, whose select()
+	  function works only for sockets.
+	+ correct missing escape in mkterm.h.awk.in, which caused part
+	  of the copyright noticed to be omitted (reported by Peter
+	  Wemm <peter@netplex.com.au>).
+	> several small changes to make the c++ binding and demo work on OS/2
+	  EMX (related to a clean reinstall of EMX):
+	+ correct library-prefix for c++ binding; none is needed.
+	+ add $x suffix to make_hash and make_keys so 'make distclean' works.
+	+ correct missing $x suffix for tack, c++ demo executables.
+	+ split CF_CXX_LIBRARY into CF_GPP_LIBRARY (for -lg++) and
+	  CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY (for -lstdc++)
+
+990828	pre-release
+	+ add cygwin terminfo entry -TD
+	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT configure macro to set .exe extension for cygwin.
+	+ add configure option --without-cxx-binding, modifying the existing
+	  --without-cxx option to check only for the C++ compiler
+	  characteristics.  Whether or not the C++ binding is needed, the
+	  configure script checks for the size/type of bool, to make ncurses
+	  match.  Otherwise C++ applications cannot use ncurses.
+
+990821	pre-release
+	+ updated configure macros CF_MAKEFLAGS, CF_CHECK_ERRNO
+	+ minor corrections to beterm terminfo entry.
+	+ modify lib_setup.c to reject values of $TERM which have a '/' in
+	  them.
+	+ add ifdef's to guard against CS5, CS6, CS7, CS8 being zero, as more
+	  than one is on BeOS.  That would break a switch statement.
+	+ add configure macro CF_LINK_FUNCS to detect and work around BeOS's
+	  nonfunctional link().
+	+ improved configure macros CF_BOOL_DECL and CF_BOOL_SIZE to detect
+	  BeOS's bool, which is declared as an unsigned char.
+
+990814	pre-release
+	+ add ms-vt100 terminfo entry -TD
+	+ minor fixes for misc/emx.src, based on testing with tack.
+	+ minor fix for test/ncurses.c, test 'a', in case ncv is not set.
+
+990731	pre-release
+	+ minor correction for 'screen' terminfo entry.
+	+ clarify description of errret values for setupterm in manpage.
+	+ modify tput to allow it to emit capabilities for hardcopy terminals
+	  (patch by Goran Uddeborg <goeran@uddeborg.pp.se>).
+	+ modify the 'o' (panel) test in ncurses.c to show the panels in color
+	  or at least in bold, to test Juergen's change to wrefresh().
+	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ Fixes a problem using wbkgdset() with panels.  It has actually
+	  nothing to with panels but is a problem in the implementation of
+	  wrefresh().  Whenever a window changes its background attribute to
+	  something different than newscr's background attribute, the whole
+	  window is touched to force a copy to newscr.  This is an unwanted
+	  side-effect of wrefresh() and it is actually not necessary.  A
+	  changed background attribute affects only further outputs of
+	  background it doesn't mean anything to the current content of the
+	  window.  So there is no need to force a copy.  (reported by Frank
+	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>).
+	+ an upward compatible enhancement of the NCursesPad class in the C++
+	  binding.  It allows one to add a "viewport" window to a pad and then
+	  to use panning to view the pad through the viewport window.
+
+990724	pre-release
+	+ suppress a call to def_prog_mode() in the SIGTSTP handler if the
+	  signal was received while not in curses mode, e.g., endwin() was
+	  called in preparation for spawning a shell command (reported by Frank
+	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
+	+ corrected/enhanced xterm-r5, xterm+sl, xterm+sl-twm terminfo entries.
+	+ change test for xterm mouse capability:  it now checks only if the
+	  user's $DISPLAY variable is set in conjunction with the kmous
+	  capability being present in the terminfo.  Before, it checked if any
+	  of "xterm", "rxvt" or "kterm" were substrings of the terminal name.
+	  However, some emulators which are incompatible with xterm in other
+	  ways do support the xterm mouse capability.
+	+ reviewed and made minor changes in ncurses to quiet g++ warnings
+	  about shadowed or uninitialized variables.  g++ incorrectly warns
+	  about uninitialized variables because it does not take into account
+	  short-circuit expression evaluation.
+	+ change ncurses 'b' test to start in color pair 0 and to show in the
+	  right margin those attributes which are suppressed by no_color_video,
+	  i.e., "(NCV)".
+	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h so that __attribute__ is not redefined
+	  when compiling with g++, but instead disabled the macros derived for
+	  __attribute__ since g++ does not consistently recognize the same
+	  keywords as gcc (reported by Stephan K Zitz <zitz@erf.net>).
+	+ update dependencies for term.h in ncurses/modules (reported by
+	  Ilya Zakharevich).
+
+990710	pre-release
+	+ modify the form demo in ncurses.c to illustrate how to manipulate the
+	  field appearance, e.g, for highlighting or translating the field
+	  contents.
+	+ correct logic in write_entry from split-out of home_terminfo in
+	  980919, which prevented update of $HOME/.terminfo (reported by Philip
+	  Spencer <pspencer@fields.utoronto.ca>).
+
+990703	pre-release
+	+ modify linux terminfo description to make use of kernel 2.2.x mods
+	  that support cursor style, e.g., to implement cvvis (patch by Frank
+	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
+	+ add special-case in setupterm to retain previously-saved terminal
+	  settings in cur_term, which happens when curses and termcap calls are
+	  mixed (from report by Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@dhc.net>).
+	+ suppress initialization of key-tries in _nc_keypad() if we are only
+	  disabling keypad mode, e.g., in endwin() called when keypad() was
+	  not.
+	+ modify the Ada95 makefile to ensure that always the Ada files from
+	  the development tree are used for building and not the eventually
+	  installed ones (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+990626	pre-release
+	+ use TTY definition in tack/sysdep.c rather than struct termios
+	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
+	+ add a fallback for strstr, used in lib_mvcur.c and tack/edit.c,
+	  not present on sysV68 (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
+	+ correct definition in comp_hash.c to build with configure
+	  --with-rcs-ids option.
+
+990619	pre-release
+	+ modified ifdef's for sigaction and sigvec to ensure we do not try to
+	  handle SIGTSTP if neither is available (from report by Philippe De
+	  Muyter).
+	> patch by Philippe De Muyter:
+	+ in tic.c, use `unlink' if `remove' is not available.
+	+ use only `unsigned' as fallback value for `speed_t'.  Some files used
+	  `short' instead.
+
+990616	pre-release
+	+ fix some compiler warnings in tack.
+	+ add a check for predefined bool type in CC, based on report that
+	  BeOS predefines a bool type.
+	+ correct logic for infocmp -e option (i.e., the configure
+	  --with-fallbacks option), which I'd not updated when implementing
+	  extended names (cf:  990301).  The new implementation adds a -E
+	  option to infocmp.
+	> 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.  Add
+	  insert_padding in insert mode after each char.  This adds new costs
+	  to the SP struct.
+
+980912
+	+ modify test-driver in lib_mvcur.s to use _nc_setbuffer, for
+	  consistent treatment.
+	+ modify ncurses to restore output to unbuffered on endwin, and resume
+	  buffering in refresh (see lib_set_term.c and NC_BUFFERED macro).
+	+ corrected HTML version numbers (according to the W3C validator, they
+	  never were HTML 2.0-compliant, but are acceptable 3.0).
+
+980905
+	+ modify MKterminfo.sh to generate terminfo.5 with tables sorted by
+	  capability name, as in SVr4.
+	+ modified term.h, termcap.h headers to avoid redundant declarations.
+	+ change 'u_int' type in tset.c to unsigned, making this compile on
+	  Sequent PRX 4.1 (reported by Michael Sterrett <msterret@coat.com>).
+
+980829
+	+ corrections to mailing addresses, and moving the magic line that
+	  causes the man program to invoke tbl to the first line of each
+	  manpage (patch by Rick Ohnemus <rick@ecompcon.com>).
+	+ add Makefile.os2 and supporting scripts to generate dll's on OS/2 EMX
+	  (from J.J.G.Ripoll, with further integration by TD).
+	+ correct a typo in icl6404 terminfo entry.
+	+ add xtermm and xtermc terminfo entries.
+	> from esr's terminfo version:
+	+ Added Francesco Potorti's tuned Wyse 99 entries.
+	+ dtterm enacs correction from Alexander V Lukyanov.
+	+ Add ncsa-ns, ncsa-m-ns and ncsa-m entries from esr version.
+
+980822
+	+ document AT&T acs characters in terminfo.5 manpage.
+	+ use EMX _scrsize() function if terminfo and environment do not
+	  declare the screen size (reported by Ilya Zakharevich
+	  <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>).
+	+ remove spurious '\' characters from eterm and osborne terminfo
+	  entries (prompted by an old Debian bug report).
+	+ correct reversed malloc/realloc calls in _nc_doalloc (reported by
+	  Hans-Joachim Widmaier <hjwidmai@foxboro.com>).
+	+ correct misplaced parenthesis which caused file-descriptor from
+	  opening termcap to be lost, from 980725 changes (reported by Andreas
+	  Jaeger).
+
+980815
+	+ modify lib_setup.c to eliminate unneeded include of <sys/ioctl.h>
+	  when termios is not used (patch by Todd C Miller).
+	+ add function _nc_doalloc, to ensure that failed realloc calls do not
+	  leak memory (reported by Todd C Miller).
+	+ improved ncsa-telnet terminfo entry.
+
+980809
+	+ correct missing braces around a trace statement in read_entry.c,
+	  from 980808 (reported by Kim DeVaughn <kimdv@best.com> and Liviu
+	  Daia).
+
+980808
+	+ fix missing include <errno.h> in ditto.c (reported by Bernhard
+	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@k5.sucks.eu.org>)
+	+ add NCSA telnet terminfo entries from Francesco Potorti
+	  <F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it>, from Debian bug reports.
+	+ make handling of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables more compatible with
+	  Solaris by allowing them to individually override the window size
+	  as obtained via ioctl.
+
+980801
+	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to allow for terminal types (e.g., xterm-color)
+	  which may reset all attributes in the 'op' capability, so that colors
+	  are set before turning on bold and other attributes, but still after
+	  turning attributes off.
+	+ add 'ditto.c' to test directory to illustrate use of newterm for
+	  initializing multiple screens.
+	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to recover from failed attempt to link alias
+	  for a terminfo on a filesystem which does not preserve character case
+	  (reported by Peter L Jordan <PJordan@chla.usc.edu>).
+
+980725
+	+ updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3
+	+ change name-comparisons in lib_termcap to compare no more than 2
+	  characters (gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8, verified
+	  with Solaris curses).
+	+ fix typo in curs_insstr.3x (patch by Todd C Miller)
+	+ use 'access()' to check if ncurses library should be permitted to
+	  open or modify files with fopen/open/link/unlink/remove calls, in
+	  case the calling application is running in setuid mode (request by
+	  Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>, responding to Duncan Simpson
+	  <dps@io.stargate.co.uk>).
+	+ arm100 terminfo entries from Dave Millen <dmill@globalnet.co.uk>).
+	+ qnxt2 and minitel terminfo entries from esr's version.
+
+980718
+	+ use -R option with ldconfig on FreeBSD because otherwise it resets
+	  the search path to /usr/lib (reported by Dan Nelson).
+	+ add -soname option when building shared libraries on OpenBSD 2.x
+	  (request by QingLong).
+	+ add configure options --with-manpage-format and
+	  --with-manpage-renames (request by QingLong).
+	+ correct conversion of CANCELLED_NUMERIC in write_object(), which was
+	  omitting the high-order byte, producing a 254 in the compiled
+	  terminfo.
+	+ modify return-values of tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tigetflag,
+	  tigetnum and tigetstr to be compatible with Solaris (gleaned from
+	  Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8).
+	+ modify _nc_syserr_abort to abort only when compiled for debugging,
+	  otherwise simply exit with an error.
+
+980711
+	+ modify Ada95 'gen' program to use appropriate library suffix (e.g.,
+	  "_g" for a debug build).
+	+ update Ada95 'make clean' rule to include generics .ali files
+	+ add a configure test to ensure that if GNAT is found, that it can
+	  compile/link working Ada95 program.
+	+ flush output in beep and flash functions, fixing a problem with
+	  getstr (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov)
+	+ fix egcs 1.0.2 warning for etip.h (patch by Chris Johns).
+	+ correct ifdef/brace nesting in lib_sprintf.c (patch by Bernhard
+	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@Pool.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE>).
+	+ correct typo in wattr_get macro from 980509 fixes (patch by Dan
+	  Nelson).
+
+980704
+	+ merge changes from current XFree86 xterm terminfo descriptions.
+	+ add configure option '--without-ada'.
+	+ add a smart-default for termcap 'ac' to terminfo 'acs_chars' which
+	  corresponds to vt100.
+	+ change translation for termcap 'rs' to terminfo 'rs2', which is
+	  the documented equivalent, rather than 'rs1'.
+
+980627
+	+ slow 'worm' down a little, for very fast machines.
+	+ corrected firstchar/lastchar computation in lib_hline.c
+	+ simplify some expressions with CHANGED_CELL, CHANGED_RANGE and
+	  CHANGED_TO_EOL macros.
+	+ modify init_pair so that if a color-pair is reinitialized, we will
+	  repaint the areas of the screen whose color changes, like SVr4 curses
+	  (reported by Christian Maurer <maurer@inf.fu-berlin.de>).
+	+ modify getsyx/setsyx macros to comply with SVr4 man-page which
+	  says that leaveok() affects their behavior (report by Darryl Miles,
+	  patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
+
+980620
+	+ review terminfo.5 against Solaris 2.6 curses version, corrected
+	  several minor errors/omissions.
+	+ implement tparm %l format.
+	+ implement tparm printf-style width and precision for %s, %d, %x, %o
+	  as per XSI.
+	+ implement tparm dynamic variables (reported by Xiaodan Tang).
+
+980613
+	+ update man-page for for wattr_set, wattr_get (cf:  980509)
+	+ correct limits in hashtest, which would cause nonprinting characters
+	  to be written to large screens.
+	+ correct configure script, when --without-cxx was specified:  the
+	  wrong variable was used for cf_cv_type_of_bool.  Compilers up to gcc
+	  2.8 tolerated the missing 'int'.
+	+ remove the hardcoded name "gcc" for the GNU Ada compiler.  The
+	  compiler's name might be something like "egcs" (patch by Juergen
+	  Pfeifer).
+	+ correct curs_addch.3x, which implied that echochar could directly
+	  display control characters (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
+	+ fix typos in ncurses-intro.html (patch by Sidik Isani
+	  <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
+
+980606
+	+ add configure test for conflicting use of exception in math.h and
+	  other headers.
+	+ minor optimization to 'hash()' function in hashmap.c, reduces its
+	  time by 10%.
+	+ correct form of LD_SHARED_OPTS for HP-UX 10.x (patch by Tim Mooney).
+	+ fix missing quotes for 'print' in MKunctrl.awk script (reported by
+	  Mihai Budiu <mihaib@gs41.sp.cs.cmu.edu>).
+	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
+	+ correct problem on Solaris (with poll() function) where getch could
+	  hang indefinitely even if timeout(x) was called.  This turned out to
+	  be because milliseconds was not updated before 'goto retry' in
+	  _nc_timed_wait.
+	+ simplified the function _nc_timed_wait and fixed another bug, which
+	  was the assumption of !GOOD_SELECT && HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY in *timeleft
+	  assignment.
+	+ removed the cycle on EINTR, as it seems to be useless.
+
+980530
+	+ add makefile-rule for test/keynames
+	+ modify run_tic.sh and shlib to ensure that user's .profile does not
+	  override the $PATH used to run tic (patch by Tim Mooney).
+	+ restore LD_SHARED_OPTS to $(LD_SHARED_FLAGS) when linking programs,
+	  needed for HP-UX shared-library path (recommended by Tim Mooney).
+	+ remove special case of HP-UX -L options, use +b options to embed
+	  $(libdir) in the shared libraries (recommended by Tim Mooney).
+	+ add checks for some possible buffer overflows and unchecked
+	  malloc/realloc/calloc/strdup return values (patch by Todd C Miller
+	  <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>)
+
+980523
+	+ correct maxx/maxy expression for num_columns/num_lines in derwin
+	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
+	+ add /usr/share/lib/terminfo and /usr/lib/terminfo as compatibilty
+	  fallbacks to _nc_read_entry(), along with --with-terminfo-dirs
+	  configure option (suggested by Mike Hopkirk).
+	+ modify config.guess to recognize Unixware 2.1 and 7 (patch by Mike
+	  Hopkirk <hops@sco.com>).
+	+ suppress definition of CC_SHARED_OPTS in LDFLAGS_SHARED in c++
+	  Makefile.in, since this conflicts when g++ is used with HP-UX
+	  compiler (reported by Tim Mooney).
+	+ parenthesize 'strcpy' calls in c++ binding to workaround redefinition
+	  in some C++ implementations (reported by several people running
+	  egcs with glibc 2.0.93, analysis by Andreas Jaeger.
+
+980516
+	+ modify write_entry.c so that it will not attempt to link aliases
+	  with embedded '/', but give only a warning.
+	+ put -L$(libdir) first when linking programs, except for HP-UX.
+	+ modify comp_scan.c to handle SVr4 terminfo description for att477,
+	  which contains a colon in the description field.
+	+ modify configure script to support SCO osr5.0.5 shared libraries
+	  (from comp.unix.sco.programmer newsgroup item by Mike Hopkirk
+	  <hops@sco.com>).
+	+ eliminate extra GoTo call in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
+	  Lukyanov).
+	+ minor adjustments of const/NCURSES_CONST from IRIX compile.
+	+ add updates based on esr's 980509 version of terminfo.src.
+
+980509
+	+ correct macros for wattr_set, wattr_get, separate wattrset macro from
+	  these to preserve behavior that allows attributes to be combined with
+	  color pair numbers.
+	+ add configure option --enable-no-padding, to allow environment
+	  variable $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to eliminate non-mandatory padding,
+	  thereby making terminal emulators (e.g., for vt100) a little more
+	  efficient (request by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
+	+ modify configure script to embed ABI in shared libraries for HP-UX
+	  10.x (detailed request by Tim Mooney).
+	+ add test/example of the 'filter()' function.
+	+ add nxterm and xterm-color terminfo description (request by Cristian
+	  Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>).
+	+ modify rxvt terminfo description to clear alternate screen before
+	  switching back to normal screen, for compatibility with applications
+	  which use xterm (reported by Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@io.com>).
+	+ modify linux terminfo description to reset color palette (reported
+	  by Telford Tendys <telford@eng.uts.edu.au>).
+	+ correction to doupdate, for case where terminal does not support
+	  insert/delete character.  The logic did not check that there was a
+	  difference in alignment of changes to old/new screens before
+	  repainting the whole non-blank portion of the line.  Modified to fall
+	  through into logic that reduces by the portion which does not differ
+	  (reported by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
+	+ minor performance improvement to wnoutrefresh by moving some
+	  comparisons out of inner loop.
+
+980425
+	+ modify configure script to substitute NCURSES_CONST in curses.h
+	+ updated terminfo entries for xterm-xf86-v40, xterm-16color,
+	  xterm-8bit to correspond to XFree86 3.9Ag.
+	+ remove restriction that forces ncurses to use setaf/setab if the
+	  number of colors is greater than 8.  (see 970524 for xterm-16color).
+	+ change order of -L options (so that $(libdir) is searched first) when
+	  linking tic and other programs, to workaround HP's linker.
+	  Otherwise, the -L../lib is embedded when linking against shared
+	  libraries and the installed program does not run (reported by Ralf
+	  Hildebrandt).
+	+ modify configuration of shared libraries on Digital Unix so that
+	  versioning is embedded in the library, rather than implied by
+	  links (patch by Tim Mooney).
+
+980418
+	+ modify etip.h to avoid conflict with math.h on HP-UX 9.03 with gcc
+	  2.8.1 which redefines 'exception' (reported by Ralf Hildebrandt
+	  <R.Hildebrandt@tu-bs.de>).
+	+ correct configure tests in CF_SHARED_OPTS which used $CC value to
+	  check for gcc, rather than autoconf's $GCC value.  This did not
+	  work properly if the full pathname of the compiler were given
+	  (reported by Michael Yount <yount@csf.Colorado.edu>).
+	+ revise check for compiler options to force ANSI mode since repeating
+	  an option such as -Aa causes HP's compiler to fail on its own headers
+	  (reported by Clint Olsen <olsenc@ichips.intel.com>).
+
+980411
+	+ ifdef'd has_key() and mcprint() as extended functions.
+	+ modified several prototypes to correspond with 1997 version of
+	  X/Open Curses (affects ABI since developers have used attr_get).
+	+ remove spurious trailing blanks in glibc addon-scripts (patch by
+	  H.J.Lu).
+	+ insert a few braces at locations where gcc-2.8.x asks to use them to
+	  avoid ambigous else's, use -fpic rather than -fPIC for Linux (patch
+	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+980404
+	+ split SHLIB_LIST into SHLIB_DIRS/SHLIB_LIST to keep -L options
+	  before -l to accommodate Solaris' linker (reported by Larry Virden).
+
+980328
+	+ modify lib_color.c to eliminate dependency on orig_colors and
+	  orig_pair, since SVr4 curses does not require these either, but
+	  uses them when they are available.
+	+ add detailed usage-message to infocmp.
+	+ correct a typo in att6386 entry (a "%?" which was "?").
+	+ add -f option to infocmp and tic, which formats the terminfo
+	  if/then/else/endif so that they are readable (with newlines and
+	  tabs).
+	+ fixes for glibc addon scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
+
+980321
+	+ revise configure macro CF_SPEED_TYPE so that termcap.h has speed_t
+	  declared (from Adam J. Richter <adam@yggdrasil.com>)
+	+ remove spurious curs_set() call from leaveok() (J.T.Conklin).
+	+ corrected handling leaveok() in doupdate() (patch by Alexander V.
+	  Lukyanov).
+	+ improved version of wredrawln (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ correct c++/Makefile.in so install target do not have embedded ../lib
+	  to confuse it (patch by Thomas Graf <graf@essi.fr>).
+	+ add warning to preinstall rule which checks if the installer would
+	  overwrite a curses.h or termcap.h that is not derived from ncurses.
+	  (The recommended configuration for developers who need both is to
+	  use --disable-overwrite).
+	+ modify preinstall rule in top-level Makefile to avoid implicit
+	  use of 'sh', to accommodate Ultrix 4.4 (reported by Joao Palhoto
+	  Matos <jmatos@math.ist.utl.pt>, patch by Thomas Esser
+	  <te@informatik.uni-hannover.de>)
+	+ refine ifdef's for TRACE so that libncurses has fewer dependencies
+	  on libtinfo when TRACE is disabled.
+	+ modify configure script so that if the --with-termlib option is used
+	  to generate a separate terminfo library, we chain it to the ncurses
+	  library with a "-l" option (reported by Darryl Miles and Ian T.
+	  Zimmerman).
+
+980314
+	+ correct limits and window in wredrawln function (reported/analysis by
+	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ correct sed expression in configure script for --with-fallback
+	  option (patch by Jesse Thilo).
+	+ correct some places in configure script where $enableval was used
+	  rather than $withval (patch by Darryl Miles <dlm@g7led.demon.co.uk>).
+	+ modify some man-pages so no '.' or '..' falls between TH and SH
+	  macros, to accommodate man_db program (reported by Ian T. Zimmerman
+	  <itz@rahul.net>).
+	+ terminfo.src 10.2.1 from Eric's webpage.
+	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ add copyright notices (and rcs id's) on remaining man-pages.
+	+ corrected prototypes for slk_* functions, using chtype rather than
+	  attr_t.
+	+ implemented the wcolor_set() and slk_color() functions
+	+ the slk_attr_{set,off,on} functions need an additional void*
+	  parameter according to XSI.
+	+ fix the C++ and Ada95 binding as well as the man pages to
+	  reflect above enhancements.
+
+980307
+	+ use 'stat()' rather than 'access()' in toe.c to check for the
+	  existence of $HOME/.terminfo, since it may be a file.
+	+ suppress configure CF_CXX_LIBRARY check if we are not using g++
+	  2.7.x, since this is not needed with g++ 2.8 or egcs (patch by
+	  Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ turn on hashmap scrolling code by default, intend to remedy defects
+	  by 4.3 release.
+	+ minor corrections to terminfo.src changelog.
+
+980302	4.2 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
+	+ correct Florian's email address in ncurses-intro.html
+	+ terminfo.src 10.2.0 from Eric.
+
+980228	pre-release
+	+ add linux-koi8r replace linux-koi8, which is not KOI8 (patch by
+	  QingLong <qinglong@Bolizm.ihep.su>).
+	+ minor documentation fixes (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ add setlocale() call to ncurses.c (reported by Claes G. Lindblad
+	  <claesg@algonet.se>).
+	+ correct sign-extension in lib_insstr.c (reported by Sotiris
+	  Vassilopoulos <svas@leon.nrcps.ariadne-t.gr>)
+
+980221	pre-release
+	+ regenerated some documentation overlooked in 980214 patch
+	  (ncurses-intro.doc, curs_outopts.3x.html)
+	+ minor ifdef change to C++ binding to work with gcc 2.8.0 (patch by
+	  Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ change maintainer's mailing address to florian@gnu.org, change
+	  tentative mailing list address to bug-ncurses-request@gnu.org (patch
+	  by Florian La Roche).
+	+ add definition of $(REL_VERSION) to c++/Makefile.in (reported by Gran
+	  Hasse <gh@raditex.se>).
+	+ restore version numbers to Ada95 binding, accidentally deleted by
+	  copyright patch (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).

+	  that empty strings don't return a null result from tparam_internal
+	+ add QNX-specific prototype for vsscanf()
+	+ move initialization of SP->_keytry from init_keytry() to newterm() to

+	> patches by Fred Fish <fnf@ninemoons.com>
+	+ misc/Makefile.in (install.data):  Avoid trying to install the CVS
+	  directory.
+	+ aclocal.m4 (install.includes):  Remove files in the include directory
+	  where we are going to install new ones, not the original source
+	  files.
+	+ misc/terminfo.src:  Add entry for "beterm", derived from termcap

+	+ aclocal.m4: Assume bool types are unsigned.
+	+ progs/infocmp.c: workaround mwcc 32k function data limit
+
+980117
+	+ correct initialization of color-pair (from 970524) in xmas.c, which

+	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
+	+ add multithread options for objects build on EMX, for compatibility

+	+ test for 'remove()', use 'unlink() if not found (patch by Philippe De
+	  Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>).
+	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ Improve a feature of the forms driver.  For invisible fields
+	  (O_VISIBLE off) only the contents but not the attributes are cleared.
+	  We now clear both.  (Reported by Javier Kohan
+	  <jkohan@adan.fceia.unr.edu.ar>)
+	+ The man page form_field_opts.3x makes now clear, that invisible
+	  fields are also always inactive.
+	+ adjust ifdef's to compile the C++ binding with the just released
+	  gcc-2.8.0 c++ and the corresponding new C++ libraries.
+
+980110
+	+ correct "?" command in ncurses.c; it was performing non-screen writes
+	  while the program was in screen mode.  (It "worked" in 1.9.9e because
+	  that version sets OPOST and OCRNL incorrectly).
+	+ return error from functions in lib_kernel, lib_raw and lib_ti if
+	  cur_term is null, or if underlying I/O fails.
+	+ amend change to tputs() so that it does not return an error if
+	  cur_term is null, since some applications depend on being able to use
+	  tputs without initializing the terminal (reported by Christian J.
+	  Robinson <infynity@cyberhighway.net>).
+
+980103
+	+ add a copy of emx.src from J.J.G.Ripoll's OS/2 EMX version of ncurses
+	  1.9.9e, together with fixes/additions for the "ansi" terminal type.
+	+ add tic check for save/restore cursor if change_scroll_region is
+	  defined (from O'Reilly book).
+	+ modify read_termcap.c to handle EMX-style pathnames (reported by
+	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
+	+ modify lib_raw.c to use EMX's setmode (from J.J.G.Ripoll, who says
+	  EMX's curses does this).
+	+ modify _nc_tic_expand() to generate \0 rather than \200.
+	+ move/revise 'expand()' from dump_entry.c to ncurses library as
+	  _nc_tic_expand(), for use by tack.
+	+ decode \a as \007 for terminfo, as per XSI.
+	+ correct translation of terminfo "^@", to \200, like \0.
+	+ modify next_char() to treat <cr><lf> the same as <newline>, for
+	  cross-platform compatibility.
+	+ use new version of autoconf (971230) to work around limited
+	  environment on CLIX, due to the way autoconf builds --help message.
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ check that the Ada95 binding runs against the correct version of
+	  ncurses.
+	+ insert constants about the library version into the main spec-file of
+	  the Ada95 binding.
+
+971227
+	+ modify open/fopen calls to use binary mode, needed for EMX.
+	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.10 mods for OS/2
+	  EMX from J.J.G.Ripoll.
+	+ generated ncurses_cfg.h with patch (971222) to autoconf 2.12 which
+	  bypasses limited sed buffer length.
+	> several changes from Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll <worm@arrakis.es>
+	  (J.J.G.Ripoll) to support OS/2 EMX:
+	+ add a _scrolling flag to SP, to set when we encounter a terminal
+	  that simply cannot scroll.
+	+ corrected logic in _nc_add_to_try(), by ensuring that strings with
+	  embedded \200 characters are matched.
+	+ don't assume the host has 'link()' function, for linking terminfo
+	  entries.
+
+971220
+	+ if there's no ioctl's to support sigwinch handler, disable it.
+	+ add configure option --disable-ext-funcs to remove the extended
+	  functions from the build.
+	+ add configure option --with-termlib to generate the terminfo
+	  functions as a separate library.
+	+ add 'sources' rule to facilitate cross-compiling.
+	+ review/fix order of mostlyclean/clean/distclean rules.
+	+ modify install-rule for headers to first remove old header, in
+	  case there was a symbolic link that confuses the install script.
+	+ corrected substitution for NCURSES_CONST in term.h (cf: 971108)
+	+ add null pointer checks in wnoutrefresh(), overlap() (patch by
+	  Xiaodan Tang <xtang@qnx.com>)
+	+ correct tputs(), which could dereference a null cur_term if invoked
+	  before terminal is initialized (patch by Christopher Seawood
+	  <cls@seawood.org>)
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ makes better use of "pragma Inline" in the Ada95 binding
+	+ resynchronizes the generated html manpages
+
+971213
+	+ additional fixes for man-pages section-references
+	+ add (for debugging) a check for ich/ich1 conflict with smir/rmir
+	  to tic, etc.
+	+ remove hpa/vpa from rxvt terminal description because they are not
+	  implemented correctly, added sgr0.
+	+ change ncurses 's' to use raw mode, so ^Q works (reported by Rudolf
+	  Leitgeb <leitgeb@leland.stanford.edu>)
+
+971206
+	+ modify protection when installing libraries to (normally) not
+	  executable.  HP-UX shared libraries are an exception.
+	+ add configure check for 'tack'.
+	+ implement script for renaming section-references in man-page install,
+	  for Debian configuration.
+	+ add validity-check for SP in trace code in baudrate() (reported by
+	  Daniel Weaver).
+	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov (fixes to match sol25 curses)
+	+ modify 'overlay()' so that copy applies target window background to
+	  characters.
+	+ correct 'mvwin()' so that it does not clear the previous locations.
+	+ correct lib_acs.c so that 8-bit character is not sign expanded in
+	  case of wide characters in chtype.
+	+ correct control-char test in lib_addch.c for use with wide chars
+	+ use attribute in the chtype when adding a control character in
+	  lib_addch.c control char was added with current attribute
+
+971129
+	+ save/restore errno in _tracef() function
+	+ change treatment of initialize_color to use a range of 0..1000
+	  (recommended by Daniel Weaver).
+	+ set umask in mkinstalldirs, fixing problems reported by users who
+	  have set root's umask to 077.
+	+ correct bug in tic that caused capabilities to be reprinted at the
+	  end of output when they had embedded comments.
+	+ rewrote wredrawln to correspond to XSI, and split-out since it is
+	  not often used (from report by Alexander V. Lukyanov, 970825)
+	+ rewrote Dan Nelson's change to make it portable, as well as to
+	  correct logic for handling backslashes.
+	+ add code to _nc_tgetent() to make it work more like a real tgetent().
+	  It removes all empty fields, and removes all but the first in a group
+	  of duplicate caps.  The code was pulled from the BSD libtermcap code
+	  in termcap.c (patch by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>
+	+ don't include --enable-widec in the --with-develop configure option,
+	  since it is not binary-compatible with 4.1 (noted by Alexander V.
+	  Lukyanov)
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ further improvements of the usage of elaboration pragmas in the Ada95
+	  binding
+	+ enhanced Ada95 sample to use the user_data mechanism for panels.
+	+ a fix for the configuration script to make gnat-3.10 the required
+	  version.
+	+ resync of the html version of the manpages
+
+971122
+	> fixes/updates for terminfo.src:
+	+ add vt220-js, pilot, rbcomm, datapoint entries from esr's 27-jun-97
+	  version.
+	+ add hds200 description (Walter Skorski)
+	+ add EMX 0.9b descriptions
+	+ correct rmso/smso capabilities in wy30-mc and wy50-mc (Daniel Weaver)
+	+ rename xhpterm back to hpterm.
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ Improves the usage of elaboration pragmas for the Ada95 binding.
+	+ Adds a translation of the test/rain.c into Ada95 to the samples.
+	  This has been contributed to the project by Laurent Pautet
+	  (pautet@gnat.com)
+
+971115
+	+ increase MAX_NAME_SIZE to 512 to handle extremely long alias list
+	  in HP-UX terminfo.
+	+ correction & simplification of delay computation in tputs, based on
+	  comments from Daniel Weaver.
+	+ replace test for SCO with more precise header tests.
+	+ add configure test for unsigned literals, use in NCURSES_BITS macro.
+	+ comment-out the -PIC, etc., flags from c++, progs and test makefiles
+	  since they probably are not needed, and are less efficient (noted by.
+	  Ju"rgen Fluk)
+	+ add -L$(libdir) to loader options, after -L../lib so that loaders
+	  that record this information will tend to do the right thing if
+	  the programs are moved around after installing them (suggested by.
+	  Ju"rgen Fluk).
+	+ add -R option to loader options for programs for Solaris if the
+	  --enable-rpath option is specified for the libraries.
+
+971112
+	+ correct installed filename for shared libraries on *BSD (reported by
+	  Ju"rgen Fluk).
+
+971108
+	+ cleanup logic for deciding when tputs() should call delay_output(),
+	  based on comments from Daniel Weaver.
+	+ modified tputs() to avoid use of float.
+	+ correct use of trailpad in tputs(), which used the wrong variable
+	  in call to delay_output().
+	+ correct inverted expression for null-count in delay_output()
+	  (analysis by Daniel Weaver).
+	+ apply --enable-rpath option to Solaris (requested by Larry Virden).
+	+ correct substitution of EXTRA_CFLAGS for gcc 2.6.3
+	+ correct check for error-return by _nc_tgetent(), which returns 0
+	  for success.
+	+ add configure test for BSD 4.4 cgetent() function, modify
+	  read_termcap.c to use the host's version of that if found, using the
+	  terminal database on FreeBSD (reported by Peter Wemm).
+	+ add u8, u9 strings to sun-il description for Daniel Weaver.
+	+ use NCURSES_CONST in panel's user-pointer.
+	+ modify edit_cfg.sh and MKterm.h.awk.in to substitute NCURSES_CONST
+	  so that will work on NeXT.
+	+ use _nc_set_screen() rather than assignments to SP to fix port to
+	  NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
+
+971101
+	+ force mandatory padding in bell and flash_screen, as specified in
+	  XSI.
+	+ don't allow padding_baud_rate to override mandatory delays (reported
+	  by Daniel Weaver).
+	+ modify delay_output() to use _nc_timed_wait() if no baudrate has been
+	  defined, or if the cur_term pointer is not initialized.  XSI treats
+	  this as unspecified.  (requested by Daniel Weaver).
+	+ change getcap-cache ifdef's to eliminate unnecessary chdir/mkdir
+	  when that feature is not configured.
+	+ remove _nc_err_abort() calls when write_entry.c finds a directory but
+	  cannot write to it, e.g., when translating part/all of /etc/termcap
+	  (reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>).
+	  (this dates back to 951102, in 1.9.7a).
+	+ minor ifdef fixes to compile with atac and glibc 2.0.5c
+	+ add check for -lgen when configuring regexpr.h
+	+ modify Solaris shared-library option "-d y" to "-dy" to workaround
+	  incompatibility of gcc 2.7.2 vs vendor's tools.
+
+971026
+	+ correct ifdef's for struct winsize vs struct ttysize in lib_setup.c
+	  to compile on SCO.
+	+ remove dangling backslash in panel/Makefile.in
+	+ modify MKkeyname.awk to work with SCO's nawk, which dumps core in the
+	  length() function.
+	+ correct length of allocation in _nc_add_to_try(), to allow for
+	  trailing null.
+	+ correct logic in _nc_remove_key(), which was discarding too many
+	  nodes (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
+
+971025
+	+ add definition for $(REL_VERSION) to test/Makefile.in, so *BSD
+	  shared libraries link properly (see 970524).
+	+ modify Linux shared-library generation to include library
+	  dependencies (e.g., -lncurses and -lgpm) in the forms, menu and
+	  panel libraries (suggested by Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ modify configure script to use config.guess and config.sub rather
+	  than uname, which is unreliable on some systems.
+	+ updated Makefile.glibc, test-built with glibc 2.0.5c
+	+ modify keyname() to return values consistent with SVr4 curses (patch
+	  by Ju"rgen Fluk).
+	> changes requested by Daniel Weaver:
+	+ modify delay_output() so that it uses the same output function as
+	  tputs() if called from that function.
+	+ move _baudrate from SCREEN to TERMINAL so that low-level use of
+	  tputs works when SP is not set.
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ factor lib_menu and lib_form into smaller modules
+	+ clean up the interface between panel and SCREEN
+	+ minor changes to the Ada95 mouse support implemenation
+	+ minor bugfix in C++ binding to ripoff windows
+	+ fix a few Ada95 html documentation pages
+
+971018
+	+ split-out lib_ungetch.c, make runtime link to resizeterm() to
+	  decouple those modules from lib_restart.c
+	+ add xterm-xf86-v39t description to terminfo.src
+	+ reset SP->_endwin in lib_tstp.c cleanup() function after calling
+	  endwin() to avoid unnecessary repainting if the application has
+	  established an atexit function, etc.  Encountered this problem in
+	  the c++ demo, whose destructors repaint the screen.
+	+ combine _nc_get_screensize() and resizeterm() calls as new function
+	  _nc_update_screensize().
+	+ minor fixes to allow compile with g++ (suggested by Nelson H. F.
+	  Beebe).
+	+ implement install-rules for Ada95 makefiles.
+	+ use screen_lines or MAXLINES as needed where LINES was coded,
+	  as well as screen_columns for COLS, in the ncurses library.
+	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+	+ modify logic for ripped-off lines to handle several SCREENs.
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ factors lib_slk.c into some smaller modules
+	+ factors panel.c into some smaller modules
+	+ puts the static information about the current panel stack into the
+	  SCREEN structure to allow different panel stacks on different
+	  screens.
+	+ preliminary fix for an error adjusting LINES to account for
+	  ripped-off lines.
+
+971011
+	+ move _nc_max_click_interval and other mouse interface items to SCREEN
+	  struct so that they are associated with a single terminal, and also
+	  save memory when the application does not need a mouse (roughly 3k vs
+	  0.5k on Linux).
+	+ modify mouseinterval() so that a negative parameter queries the
+	  click-interval without modifying it.
+	+ modify ncurses 'i' test to work with ncurses' apparent extension from
+	  SVr4, i.e., allows nocbreak+noecho (analysis by Alexander V.
+	  Lukyanov).
+	+ add configure options --with-ada-includes and --with-ada-objects,
+	  to drive Ada95 binding install (not yet implemented).
+	+ install C++ binding as -lncurses++ and associated headers with the
+	  other ncurses headers.
+	+ fix header uninstall if configure --srcdir is used.
+	> minor interface changes (request by Daniel Weaver <danw@znyx.com>,
+	  to support 'tack' program):
+	+ export functions _nc_trans_string() and _nc_msec_cost().
+	+ add variable _nc_nulls_sent, to record the number of padding
+	  characters output in delay_output().
+	+ move tests for generic_type and hard_copy terminals in setupterm()
+	  to the end of that function so that the library will still be
+	  initialized, though not generally useful for curses programs.
+	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+	+ modify ClrBottom() to avoid using clr_eos if there is only one line
+	  to erase.
+	+ typo in configure --help.
+	> patch by J.T.Conklin (with minor resync against Juergen's changes)
+	+ split-out lib_flash.c from lib_beep.c
+	+ split-out lib_hline.c and lib_vline.c from lib_box.c
+	+ split-out lib_wattron.c, lib_wattroff.c from lib_addch.c
+
+971005
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ correct source/target of c++/edit_cfg.sh
+
+971004
+	+ add color, mouse support to kterm terminfo entry.
+	+ modify lib_mouse.c to recognize rxvt, kterm, color_xterm also as
+	  providing "xterm"-style mouse.
+	+ updated rxvt's terminfo description to correspond to 2.21b, with
+	  fixes for the acsc (the box1 capability is incorrect, ech1 does not
+	  work).
+	+ fix logic in parse_entry.c that discarded acsc when 'synthesizing'
+	  an entry from equivalents in XENIX or AIX.  This lets ncurses handle
+	  the distribution copy of rxvt's terminfo.
+	+ modify acsc capability for linux and linux-koi8 terminfo descriptions
+	  (from Pavel Roskin <pavel@absolute.spb.su>).
+	+ corrected definition in curses.h for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I'
+	  rather than 'i' (see 970802).
+	+ updated terminfo.src with reformatted acsc entries, and repaired the
+	  trashed entries with spurious '\' characters that this exposed.
+	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to reformat acsc entries into canonical
+	  form (sorted, unique mapping).
+	+ add configure script to generate c++/etip.h
+	+ add configure --with-develop option, to enable by default most of the
+	  experimental options (requested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ rename 'deinstall' to 'uninstall', following GNU convention
+	  (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+	+ modify tactics 2 and 5 in onscreen_mvcur(), to allow them on the last
+	  line of the screen, since carriage return will not cause a newline.
+	+ remove clause from PutCharLR() that would try to use
+	  eat_newline_glitch since that apparently does not work on some
+	  terminals (e.g., M$ telnet).
+	+ correct a limit check in scroll_csr_backward()
+	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ adds dummy implementations of methods above() and below() to the
+	  NCursesPanel class.
+	+ fixes missing returncode in NCursesWindow::ripoffline()
+	+ fixes missing returncode in TestApplication::run() in demo.cc
+	+ We should at least give a comment in etip.h why it is currently a
+	  problem to install the C++ binding somewhere
+	+ makes the WINDOW* argument of wenclose() a const.
+	+ modifies several of the routines in lib_adabind.c to use a const
+	  WINDOW* argument.
+
+970927
+	+ add 'deinstall' rules.
+	+ use explicit assignments in configure --without-progs option to
+	  work around autoconf bug which doesn't always set $withval.
+	+ check for ldconfig, don't try to run it if not found.
+	+ implement simple/unoptimized case in lib_doupdate.c to handle
+	  display with magic cookie glitch, tested with ncurses.c program.
+	+ correct missing _tracef in getmouse(), to balance the returnCode
+	  macro.
+	+ simplify show_attr() in ncurses.c using termattrs().
+	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ provides missing inlines for mvw[hv]line in cursesw.h of the C++
+	  binding
+	+ fixes a typo in a comment of frm_driver.c
+	+ Enhances Ada95 Makefiles to fulfill the requirement of GNAT-3.10 that
+	  generics should be compiled.  Proper fixes to the configuration
+	  scripts are also provided.
+
+970920
+	+ several modifications to the configure script (requested by Ward
+	  Horner):
+	  + add configure options --without-progs, to suppress the build of the
+	    utility programs, e.g., for cross-compiling.
+	  + add $(HOSTCCFLAGS) and $(HOSTLDFLAGS) symbols to ncurses
+	    Makefile.in, to simplify setup for cross compiling.
+	  + add logic in configure script to recognize "--target=vxworks", and
+	    generate load/install actions for VxWorks objects.
+	+ move typedef for sigaction_t into SigAction.h to work around problem
+	  generating lint library.
+	+ modify fty_regex.c to reflect renaming of ifdef's for regular
+	  expressions.
+	+ simplify ifdef in lib_setup.c for TIOCGWINSZ since that symbol may
+	  reside in <sys/ioctl.h>.
+	+ merge testcurs.c with version from PDCurses 2.3, clarifying some of
+	  the more obscure tests, which rely upon color.
+	+ use macros getbegyx() and getmaxyx() in newdemo.c and testcurs.c
+	+ modify ncurses.c to use getbegyx() and getmaxyx() macros to cover up
+	  implementation difference wrt SVr4 curses, allow 's' test to work.
+	+ add missing endwin() to testscanw.c program (reported by Fausto
+	  Saporito <fausap@itb.it>).
+	+ fixes/updates for Makefile.glibc and related files under sysdeps
+	  (patch by H.J.Lu).
+	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ add checks for null pointers, especially WINDOW's throughout the
+	  ncurses library.
+	+ solve a problem with wrong calculation of panel overlapping (reported
+	  by Ward Horner):
+	  + make sure that a panel's window isn't a pad.
+	  + do more error checking in module lib_touch.c
+	+ missing files for Ada95 binding from the last patch
+	+ synch. of generated html pages (RCS-Id's were wrong in html files)
+	+ support for Key_Resize in Ada binding
+	+ changed documentation style in ./c++/cursesm.h
+	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+	+ undo attempt to do recursive inlining for PutChar(), noting that it
+	  did not improve timing measurably, but inflated the size of
+	  lib_doupdate.o
+
+970913
+	+ modify rain.c to use color.
+	+ correct scroll_csr_backward() to match scroll_csr_forward().
+	+ minor adjustment to llib-lncurses, to work with Solaris 2.5.1
+	+ minor fixes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure to reflect renaming
+	  of configure cache variables in 970906.
+	+ correct logic involving changes to O_VISIBLE option in
+	  Synchronize_Options function in frm_driver.c (Tony Hoffmann
+	  <Tony.Hoffmann@hia.nrc.ca>)
+	+ add $(HOSTCC) symbol to ncurses Makefile.in, to simplify setup for
+	  cross compiling (suggested by Chris Johns).
+	+ modify ifdef in lib_setup.c to only include <sys/ioctl.h> if we can
+	  use it to support screen-size calculation (reported by Chris Johns).
+	+ #undef unctrl to avoid symbol conflict in port to RTEMS (reported by
+	  Chris Johns <cjohns@plessey.com.au>)
+	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ simplified, made minor corrections to Ada95 binding to form
+	  fieldtype.
+	+ The C++ binding has been enhanced:
+	  + Improve NCursesWindow class:  added additional methods to cover
+	    more ncurses functionality.  Make refresh() and noutrefresh()
+	    virtual members to allow different implementation in the
+	    NCursesPanel class.
+	  + CAUTION:  changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
+	    NCursesWindow class.
+	  + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
+	    reimplementation of refresh() in the base class.  Added
+	    noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
+	  + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
+	    functionality.
+	  + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to etip.h
+	  + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration of
+	    menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of title lines
+	    and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
+	  + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menu's fieldlist.
+	  + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for menus.
+	  + Enhanced demo.
+	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_def.c:  take into account that copyarg and
+	  freearg for a fieldtype may be NULL, makearg must not be NULL
+	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_type.c:  in set_fieldtype_arg() makearg must
+	  not be NULL, copyarg and freearg may be NULL.
+	+ Fixed a bug in form/frm_def.c:  Allow Disconnect_Fields() if it is
+	  already disconnected.
+	+ Enhance form/frm_driver.c:  Allow growth of dynamic fields also on
+	  navigation requests.
+	+ Fixed a bug in form/fty_enum.c:  wrong position of postincrement in
+	  case-insensitiva comparision routine.
+	+ Enhanced form/lib_adabind.c with function _nc_get_field() to get a
+	  forms field by index.
+	+ Enhanced menu/m_adabind.c with function _nc_get_item() to get a menus
+	  item by index.
+	+ Fixed in curses.h.in:  make chtype argument for pechochar() constant.
+	  Mark wbkgdset() as implemented, remove wbkgdset macro, because it was
+	  broken (didn't handle colors correctly).
+	+ Enhanced lib_mouse.c: added _nc_has_mouse() function
+	+ Added _nc_has_mouse() prototype to curses.priv.h
+	+ Modified lib_bkgd.c:  hopefully correct implementation of wbkgdset();
+	  streamlined implementation of wbkgd()
+	+ Modified lib_mvwin.c:  Disable move of a pad.  Implement (costly)
+	  move of subwindows.  Fixed update behaviour of movements of regular
+	  windows.
+	+ Fixed lib_pad.c:  make chtype argument of pechochar() const.
+	+ Fixed lib_window.c:  dupwin() is not(!) in every bit a really clone
+	  of the original.  Subwindows become regular windows by doing a
+	  dupwin().
+	+ Improved manpage form_fieldtype.3x
+	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+	+ simplify the PutChar() handling of exit_am_mode, because we already
+	  know that auto_right_margin is true.
+	+ add a check in PutChar() for ability to insert to the case of
+	  shifting character to LR corner.
+	+ in terminal initialization by _nc_screen_resume(), make sure that
+	  terminal right margin mode is known.
+	+ move logic that invokes touchline(), or does the equivalent, into
+	  _nc_scroll_window().
+	+ modify scrolling logic use of insert/delete line capability, assuming
+	  that they affect the screen contents only within the current
+	  scrolling region.
+	+ modify rain.c to demonstrate SIGWINCH handler.
+	+ remove logic from getch() that would return an ERR if the application
+	  called getch() when the cursor was at the lower-right corner of the
+	  physical screen, and the terminal does not have insert-character
+	  ability.
+	+ change view.c so that it breaks out of getch() loop if a KEY_RESIZE
+	  is read, and modify logic in getch() so this fix will yield the
+	  desired behavior, i.e., the screen is repainted automatically when
+	  the terminal window is resized.
+
+970906
+	+ add configure option --enable-sigwinch
+	+ modify view.c to test KEY_RESIZE logic, with "-r" option.
+	+ modify testcurs.c to eliminate misleading display wrt cursor type
+	  by testing if the terminal supports cnorm, civis, cvvis.
+	+ several fixes for m68k/NeXT 4.0, to bring cur_term, _nc_curr_line and
+	  _nc_curr_col variables into linked programs:  move these variables,
+	  making new modules lib_cur_term and trace_buf (reported by Francisco
+	  Alberto Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu>).
+	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+	+ add pseudo-functionkey KEY_RESIZE which is returned by getch() when
+	  the SIGWINCH handler has been called since the last call to
+	  doupdate().
+	+ modify lib_twait.c to hide EINTR only if HIDE_EINTR is defined.
+	+ add SIGWINCH handler to ncurses library which is used if there is no
+	  application SIGWINCH handler in effect when the screen is
+	  initialized.
+	+ make linked list of all SCREEN structures.
+	+ move curses.h include before definition of SCREEN to use types in
+	  that structure.
+	+ correction to ensure that wgetstr uses only a newline to force a
+	  scroll (970831).
+
+970831
+	+ add experimental configure option --enable-safe-sprintf; the normal
+	  mode now allocates a buffer as large as the screen for the
+	  lib_printw.c functions.
+	+ modify wgetch to refresh screen when reading ungetch'd characters,
+	  since the application may require this - SVr4 does this.
+	+ refine treatment of newline in wgetstr to echo only when this would
+	  force the screen to scroll.
+
+970830
+	+ remove override in wgetstr() that forces keypad(), since SVr4 does
+	  not do this.
+	+ correct y-reference for erasure in wgetstr() when a wrap forces a
+	  scroll.
+	+ correct x-position in waddch() after a wrap forces a scroll.
+	+ echo newline in wgetstr(), making testscanw.c scroll properly when
+	  scanw is done.
+	+ modify vwscanw() to avoid potential buffer overflow.
+	+ rewrote lib_printw.c to eliminate fixed-buffer limits.
+	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+	+ correct an error in handling cooked mode in wgetch(); processing
+	  was in the wrong order.
+	+ simplified logic in wgetch() that handles backspace, etc., by using
+	  wechochar().
+	+ correct wechochar() so that it interprets the output character as
+	  in waddch().
+	+ modify pechochar() to use prefresh() rather than doupdate(), since
+	  the latter does not guarantee immediate refresh of the pad.
+	+ modify pechochar() so that if called with a non-pad WINDOW, will
+	  invoke wechochar() instead.
+	+ modify fifo indices to allow fifo to be longer than 127 bytes.
+
+970823
+	+ add xterm-8bit to terminfo.src
+	+ moved logic for SP->_fifohold inside check_pending() to make it
+	  work properly when we add calls to that function.
+	+ ensure that bool functions return only TRUE or FALSE, and TRUE/FALSE
+	  are assigned to bool values (patch by H.J.Lu).
+	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+	+ several fixes to getch:
+	  1.  Separate cooked and raw keys in fifo
+	  2.  Fix the case of ungetch'ed KEY_MOUSE
+	  3.  wrap the code for hiding EINTR with ifdef HIDE_EINTR
+	  4.  correctly handle input errors (i.e., EINTR) without loss of raw
+	      keys
+	  5.  recognize ESC KEY_LEFT and similar
+	  6.  correctly handle the case of receiption of KEY_MOUSE from gpm
+	+ correct off-by-one indexing error in _nc_mouse_parse(), that caused
+	  single mouse events (press/release) to be ignored in favor of
+	  composed events (click).  Improves on a fix from integrating gpm
+	  support in 961229.
+	+ add another call to check_pending, before scrolling, for
+	  line-breakout optimization
+	+ improve hashmap.c by
+	  1.  fixed loop condition in grow_hunks()
+	  2.  not marking lines with offset 0
+	  3.  fixed condition of 'too far' criteria, thus one-line hunks are
+	  ignored and two lines interchanged won't pass.
+	+ rewrote/simplified _nc_scroll_optimize() by separating into two
+	  passes, forward/backward, looking for chunks moving only in the given
+	  direction.
+	+ move logic that emits sgr0 when initializing the screen to
+	  _nc_screen_init(), now invoked from newterm.
+	+ move cursor-movement cleanup from endwin() into _nc_mvcur_wrap()
+	  function and screen cleanup (i.e., color) into _nc_screen_wrap()
+	  function.
+	+ add new functions _nc_screen_init(), _nc_screen_resume() and
+	  _nc_screen_wrap().
+	+ rename _nc_mvcur_scrolln() to _nc_scrolln().
+	+ add a copy of acs_map[] to the SCREEN structure, where it can be
+	  stored/retrieved via set_term().
+	+ move variables _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok, _nc_windows into the SCREEN
+	  structure.
+
+970816
+	+ implement experimental _nc_perform_scroll().
+	+ modify newterm (actually _nc_setupscreen()) to emit an sgr0 when
+	  initializing the screen, as does SVr4 (reported by Alexander V.
+	  Lukyanov).
+	+ added test_progs rule to ncurses/Makefile.
+	+ modify test/configure.in to check if initscr is already in $LIBS
+	  before looking for (n)curses library.
+	+ correct version-number in configure script for OSF1 shared-library
+	  options (patch by Tim Mooney).
+	+ add -DNDEBUG to CPPFLAGS for --enable-assertions (as Juergen
+	  originally patched) since the c++ demo files do not necessarily
+	  include ncurses_cfg.h
+	+ supply default value for --enable-assertions option in configure
+	  script (reported by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu>).
+	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+	+ correct/simplify logic of werase(), wclrtoeol() and wclrbot().  See
+	  example firstlast.c
+	+ optimize waddch_literal() and waddch_nosync() by factoring out
+	  common subexpressions.
+	+ correct sense of NDEBUG ifdef for CHECK_POSITION macro.
+	+ corrections to render_char(), to make handling of colored blanks
+	  match SVr4 curses, as well as to correct a bug that xor'd space
+	  against the background character.
+	+ replaced hash function with a faster one (timed it)
+	+ rewrote the hashmap algorithm to be one-pass, this avoids multiple
+	  cost_effective() calls on the same lines.
+	+ modified cost_effective() so it is now slightly more precise.
+	> patches by H.J.Lu for glibc integration:
+	+ add modules define_key, keyok, name_match, tries
+	+ add makefile rules for some of the unit tests in ncurses (mvcur,
+	  captoinfo, hardscroll, hashmap).
+	+ update Linux configure-script for wide-character definitions.
+
+970809
+	+ modify _tracebits() to show the character size (e.g., CS8).
+	+ modify tparm() to emit '\200' where the generated string would have a
+	  null (reported by From:  Ian Dall <Ian.Dall@dsto.defence.gov.au> for
+	  terminal type ncr7900).
+	+ modify install process so that ldconfig is not invoked if the
+	  package is built with an install-prefix.
+	+ correct test program for chtype size (reported by Tim Mooney).
+	+ add configure option --disable-scroll-hints, using this to ifdef the
+	  logic that computes indices for _nc_scroll_optimize().
+	+ add module ncurses/softscroll.c, to perform single-stage computation
+	  of scroll indices used in _nc_scroll_optimize().  This is faster than
+	  the existing scrolling algorithm, but tends to make too-small hunks.
+	+ eliminate fixed buffer size in _nc_linedump().
+	+ minor fixes to lib_doupdate.c to add tradeoff between clr_eol (el)
+	  and clr_bol (el1), refine logic in ClrUpdate() and ClrBottom() (patch
+	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ add test/testaddch.c, from a pending patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov.
+	+ correct processing of "configure --enable-assertions" option (patch
+	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+970802
+	+ add '-s' (single-step) option too test/hashtest.c, correct an error
+	  in loop limit for '-f' (footer option), toggle scrollok() when
+	  writing footer to avoid wrap at lower-right corner.
+	+ correct behavior of clrtoeol() immediately after wrapping cursor,
+	  which was not clearing the line at the cursor position (reported by
+	  Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>).
+	+ corrected mapping for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I' rather than 'i'
+	  (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@tezcat.com>).
+	+ many corrections to make progs/capconvert work, as well as make it
+	  reasonably portable and integrated with ncurses 4.1 (reported by Dave
+	  Furstenau <df@ravine.binary.net>).
+
+970726
+	+ add flag SP->_fifohold, corresponding logic to modify the behavior of
+	  the line breakout logic so that if the application does not read
+	  input, refreshes will not be stopped, but only slowed.
+	+ generate slk_attr_off(), slk_attr_on(), slk_attr_set(), vid_attr(),
+	  ifdef'd for wide-character support, since ncurses' WA_xxx attribute
+	  masks are identical with the A_xxx masks.
+	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to generate ifdef'd functions to support optional
+	  configuration of wide-characters.
+	+ modify tset to behave more like SVr4's tset, which does not modify
+	  the settings of intr, quit or erase unless they are given as command
+	  options (reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>).
+	+ modify tset to look in /etc/ttys or /etc/ttytype if the configuration
+	  does not have getttynam().
+	+ extend baudrate table in tset.c to match baudrate() function.
+	+ add table entries for 230400 and 460800 bd to baudrate() function.
+	+ improve breakout logic by allowing it before the first line updated,
+	  which is what SVr4 curses does (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ correct initialization of vcost in relative_move(), for cursor-down
+	  case (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	> nits gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-3:
+	+ install symbolic link for intotocap.
+	+ reference libc directly when making shared libraries.
+	+ correct renaming of curs_scr_dmp.3x in man_db.renames.
+	+ guard tgetflag() and other termcap functions against null cur_term
+	  pointer.
+
+970719
+	+ corrected initial state of software echo (error in 970405, reported
+	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ reviewed/added messages to configure script, so that all non-test
+	  options should be accompanied by a message.
+	+ add configure check for long filenames, using this to determine if
+	  it is safe to allow long aliases for terminal descriptions as does
+	  SVr4.
+	+ add configure options for widec (wide character), hashmap (both
+	  experimental).
+	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+	+ hashmap.c - improved by heuristic, so that scroll test works much
+	  better when csr is not available.
+	+ hardscroll.c - patched so that it continues to scroll other chunks
+	  after failure to scroll one.
+	+ lib_doupdate.c - _nc_mvcur_scrolln extended to handle more cases; csr
+	  is avoided as it is relative costly.  Fixed wrong coordinates in one
+	  case and wrong string in TRACE.
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ modify C++ binding to compile on AIX 4.x with the IBM C-SET++
+	  compiler.
+
+970712
+	+ remove alternate character set from kterm terminfo entry; it uses the
+	  shift-out control for a purpose incompatible with curses, i.e., font
+	  switching.
+	+ disentangle 'xterm' terminfo entry from some derived entries that
+	  should be based on xterm-r6 instead.
+	+ add cbt to xterm-xf86-xv32 terminfo entry; I added the emulation for
+	  XFree86 3.1.2F, but overlooked its use in terminfo then - T.Dickey.
+	+ correct logic in lib_mvcur.c that uses back_tab.
+
+970706
+	+ correct change from 970628 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
+	  contents of curscr are saved in newscr before clearing the screen.
+	  This is needed to make repainting work with the present logic of
+	  TransformLine().
+	+ use napms() rather than sleep() in tset.c to avoid interrupting I/O.
+
+970705
+	+ add limit checks to _nc_read_file_entry() to guard against overflow
+	  of buffer when reading incompatible terminfo format, e.g, from OSF/1.
+	+ correct some loop-variable errors in xmc support in lib_doupdate.c
+	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to add gaps, specified by user, to allow
+	  investigation of interaction with xmc (magic cookie) code.
+	+ correct typo in 970524 mods to xmas.c, had omitted empty parameter
+	  list from has_colors(), which gcc ignores, but SVr4 does not
+	  (reported by Larry Virden).
+	+ correct rmso capability in wy50-mc description.
+	+ add configure option "--enable-hard-tabs", renamed TABS_OK ifdef to
+	  USE_HARD_TABS.
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ Add bindings for keyok() and define_key() to the Ada95 packages.
+	+ Improve man pages menu_post.3x and menu_format.3x
+	+ Fix the HTML pages in the Ada95/html directory to reflect the above
+	  changes.
+
+970628
+	+ modify change from 970101 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
+	  pending changes to both curscr and newscr are flushed properly.
+	  This fixes a case where the first scrolling operation in nvi would
+	  cause the screen to be cleared unnecessarily and repainted before
+	  doing the indexing, i.e., by repeatedly pressing 'j' (reported by
+	  Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ correct error in trans_string() which added embedded newlines in a
+	  terminfo description to the stored strings.
+	+ remove spurious newlines from sgr in wyse50 (and several other)
+	  terminfo descriptions.
+	+ add configure option for experimental xmc (magic cookie) code,
+	  "--enable-xmc-glitch".  When disabled (the default), attributes that
+	  would store a magic cookie are suppressed in vidputs().  The magic
+	  cookie code is far from workable at this stage; the configuration
+	  option is a stopgap.
+	+ move _nc_initscr() from lib_initscr.c to lib_newterm.c
+	+ correct path for invoking make_keys (a missing "./").
+
+970621
+	+ correct sign-extension problem with "infocmp -e", which corrupted
+	  acsc values computed for linux fallback data.
+	+ correct dependency on ncurses/names.c (a missing "./").
+	+ modify configure script to use '&&' even for cd'ing to existing
+	  directories to work around broken shell interpreters.
+	+ correct a loop-limit in _nc_hash_map() (patch by Alexander V.
+	  Lukyanov).
+
+970615
+	+ restore logic in _nc_scroll_optimize() which marks as touched the
+	  lines in curscr that are shifted.
+	+ add new utility 'make_keys' to compute keys.tries as a table rather
+	  than a series of function calls.
+	+ correct include-dependency for tic.h used by name_match
+	+ removed buffer-allocation for name and description from m_item_new.c,
+	  since this might result in incompatibilities with SVr4.  Also fixed
+	  the corresponding Ada95 binding module (patch by Juergen Pfeifer,
+	  from report by Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>)
+	+ removed the mechanism to timestamp the generated Ada95 sources.  This
+	  resulted always in generating patches for the HTML doc, even when
+	  nothing really changed (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ improve man page mitem_new.3x (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+970614
+	+ remove ech capability from rxvt description because it does not work.
+	+ add missing case logic for infocmp -I option (reported by Lorenzo M.
+	  Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>)
+	+ correct old bug in pnoutrefresh() unmasked by fix in 970531; this
+	  caused glitches in the ncurses 'p' test since the area outside the
+	  pad was not compared when setting up indices for _nc_scroll_optimize.
+	+ rewrote tracebits() to workaround misdefinition of TOSTOP on Ultrix
+	  4.4, as well as to eliminate fixed-size buffer (reported by Chris
+	  Tanner <tannerc@aecl.ca>)
+	+ correct prototype for termattrs() as per XPG4 version 2.
+	+ add placeholder prototypes for color_set(), erasewchar(),
+	  term_attrs(), wcolor_set() as per XPG4 version 2.
+	+ correct attribution for progs/progs.priv.h and lib_twait.c
+	+ improve line-breakout logic by checking based on changed lines rather
+	  than total lines (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ correct loop limits for table-lookup of enumerated value in form
+	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ improve threshhold computation for determining when to call ClrToEOL
+	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+
+970531
+	+ add configure option --disable-database to force the library to
+	  use only the fallback data.
+	+ add configure option --with-fallbacks, to specify list of fallback
+	  terminal descriptions.
+	+ add a symbolic link for ncurses.h during install; too many programs
+	  still assume there's an ncurses.h
+	+ add new terminfo.src entry for xterm-xf86-v33.
+	+ restore terminfo.src entry for emu to using setf/setb, since it is
+	  not, after all, generating ANSI sequences.  Corrected missing comma
+	  that caused setf/setb entries to merge.
+	+ modify mousemask() to use keyok() to enable/disable KEY_MOUSE, so
+	  that applications can disable ncurses' mouse and supply their own
+	  handler.
+	+ add extensions keyok() and define_key().  These are designed to allow
+	  the user's application better control over the use of function keys,
+	  e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE.  (The define_key idea was from
+	  a mailing-list thread started by kjahds@kjahds.com Nov'1995).
+	+ restore original behavior in ncurses 'g' test, i.e., explicitly
+	  set the keypad mode rather than use the default, since it confuses
+	  people.
+	+ rewrote the newdemo banner so it's readable (reported by Hugh
+	  Daniel).
+	+ tidy up exit from hashtest (reported by Hugh Daniel).
+	+ restore check for ^Q in ncurses 'g' test broken in 970510 (reported
+	  by Hugh Daniel)
+	+ correct tput program, checking return-value of setupterm (patch by
+	  Florian La Roche).
+	+ correct logic in pnoutrefresh() and pechochar() functions (reported
+	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf.usc.edu>).  The computation
+	  of 'wide' date to eric's #283 (1.9.9), and the pechochar bug to the
+	  original implementation (1.9.6).
+	+ correct typo in vt102-w terminfo.src entry (patch by Robert Wuest
+	  <rwuest@sire.vt.com>)
+	+ move calls of _nc_background() out of various loops, as its return
+	  value will be the same for the whole window being operated on (patch
+	  by J.T.Conklin).
+	+ add macros getcur[xy] getbeg[xy] getpar[xy], which are defined in
+	  SVr4 headers (patch by J.T.Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.ORG>)
+	+ modify glibc addon-configure scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
+	+ correct a bug in hashmap.c: the size used for clearing the hashmap
+	  table was incorrect, causing stack corruption for large values of
+	  LINES, e.g., >MAXLINES/2 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ eric's terminfo 9.13.23 & 9.13.24 changes: replaced minitel-2 entry,
+	  added MGR, ansi-nt (note: the changes described for 9.13.24 have not
+	  been applied).
+	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ correct a missing error-return in form_driver.c when wrapping of a
+	  field is not possible.
+	+ correct logic in form_driver.c for configurations that do not have
+	  memccpy() (reported by Sidik Isani <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
+	+ change several c++ binding functions to inline.
+	+ modify c++ menu binding to inherit from panels, for proper
+	  initialization.
+	+ correct freeing of menu items in c++ binding.
+	+ modify c++ binding to reflect removal of const from user data pointer
+	  in forms/menus libraries.
+
+970524
+	+ add description of xterm-16color.
+	+ modify name of shared-library on *BSD to end with $(REL_VERSION)
+	  rather than $(ABI_VERSION) to match actual convention on FreeBSD
+	  (cf: 960713).
+	+ add OpenBSD to shared-library case, same as NetBSD and FreeBSD
+	  (reported by Hugh Daniel <hugh@rat.toad.com>).
+	+ corrected include-dependency in menu/Makefile so that "make install"
+	  works properly w/o first doing "make".
+	+ add fallback definition for isascii, used in infocmp.
+	+ modify xmas to use color, and to exit right away when a key is
+	  pressed.
+	+ modify gdc so that the scrolled digits function as described (there
+	  was no time delay between the stages, and the digits overwrote the
+	  bounding box without tidying up).
+	+ modify lib_color.c to use setaf/setab only for the ANSI color codes
+	  0 through 7.  Using 16 colors requires setf/setb.
+	+ modify ncurses 'c' test to work with 16 colors, as well as the normal
+	  8 colors.
+	+ remove const qualifier from user data pointer in forms and menus
+	  libraries (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ rewrote 'waddchnstr()' to avoid using the _nc_waddch_nosync()
+	  function, thereby not interpreting tabs, etc., as per spec (patch by
+	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+
+970517
+	+ suppress check for pre-existing ncurses header if the --prefix
+	  option is specified.
+	+ add configure options "--with-system-type" and
+	  "--with-system-release" to assist in checking the generated
+	  makefiles.
+	+ add configure option "--enable-rpath" to allow installers to specify
+	  that programs linked against shared libraries will have their library
+	  path embedded, allowing installs into nonstandard locations.
+	+ add flags to OSF1 shared-library options to specify version and
+	  symbol file (patch by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>)
+	+ add missing definition for ABI_VERSION to c++/Makefile.in (reported
+	  by Satoshi Adachi <adachi@wisdom.aa.ap.titech.ac.jp>).
+	+ modify link flags to accommodate HP-UX linker which embeds absolute
+	  pathnames in executables linked against shared libraries (reported by
+	  Jason Evans <jasone@mrc.uidaho.edu>, solved by Alan Shutko
+	  <ats@hubert.wustl.edu>).
+	+ drop unnecessary check for attribute-change in onscreen_mvcur() since
+	  mvcur() is the only caller within the library, and that check in turn
+	  is exercised only from lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
+	  Lukyanov).
+	+ add 'blank' parameter to _nc_scroll_window() so _nc_mvcur_scrolln()
+	  can use the background of stdscr as a parameter to that function
+	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ moved _nc_mvcur_scrolln() from lib_mvcur.c to lib_doupdate.c, to use
+	  the latter's internal functions, as well as to eliminate unnecessary
+	  cursor save/restore operations (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ omit parameter of ClrUpdate(), since it is called only for newscr,
+	  further optimized/reduced by using ClearScreen() and TransformLine()
+	  to get rid of duplicate code (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ modify scrolling algorithm in _nc_scroll_optimize() to reject hunks
+	  that are smaller than the distance to be moved (patch by Alexander V.
+	  Lukyanov).
+	+ correct a place where the panel library was not ifdef'd in ncurses.c
+	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
+	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer)
+
+970515	4.1 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
+	+ re-tag changes since 970505 as 4.1 release.
+
+970510
+	+ modify ncurses 'g' test to allow mouse input
+	+ modify default xterm description to include mouse.
+	+ modify configure script to add -Wwrite-strings if gcc warnings are
+	  enabled while configuring --enable-const (and fixed related
+	  warnings).
+	+ add toggle, status display for keypad mode to ncurses 'g' test to
+	  verify that keypad and scrollok are not inherited from parent window
+	  during a call to newwin.
+	+ correction to MKexpanded.sh to make it work when configure --srcdir
+	  is used (reported by H.J.Lu).
+	+ revise test for bool-type, ensuring that it checks if builtin.h is
+	  available before including it, adding test for sizeof(bool) equal
+	  to sizeof(short), and warning user if the size cannot be determined
+	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ add files to support configuration of ncurses as an add-on library
+	  for GNU libc (patch by H.J.Lu <hjl@lucon.org>)
+
+970506
+	+ correct buffer overrun in lib_traceatr.c
+	+ modify change to lib_vidattr.c to avoid redundant orig_pair.
+	+ turn on 'echo()' in hanoi.c, since it is initially off.
+	+ rename local 'errno' variable in etip.h to avoid conflict with global
+	  (H.J.Lu).
+	+ modify configure script to cache LD, AR, AR_OPTS (patch by H.J.Lu
+	  <hjl@lucon.org>)
+
+970505	4.1 pre-release
+	+ regenerate the misc directory html dumps without the link list, which
+	  is not useful.
+	+ correct dependency in form directory makefile which caused
+	  unnecessary recompiles.
+	+ correct substitution for ABI_VERSION in test-makefile
+	+ modify install rules for shared-library targets to remove the target
+	  before installing, since some install programs do not properly handle
+	  overwrite of symbolic links.
+	+ change order of top-level targets so that 'include' immediate
+	  precedes the 'ncurses' directory, reducing the time between new
+	  headers and new libraries (requested by Larry Virden).
+	+ modify lib_vidattr.c so that colors are turned off only before
+	  modifying other attributes, turned on after others.  This makes the
+	  hanoi.c program display correctly on FreeBSD console.
+	+ modify debug code in panel library to print user-data addresses
+	  rather than the strings which they (may) point to.
+	+ add check to ensure that C++ binding and demo are not built with g++
+	  versions below 2.7, since the binding uses templates.
+	+ modify c++ binding and demo to build and run with SGI's c++ compiler.
+	  (It also compiles with the Sun SparcWorks compiler, but the demo does
+	  not link, due to a vtbl problem).
+	+ corrections to demo.cc, to fix out-of-scope variables (Juergen
+	  Pfeifer).
+
+970503
+	+ correct memory leak in _nc_trace_buf().
+	+ add configure test for regexpr.h, for Unixware 1.x.
+	+ correct missing "./" prefixing names of generated files in ncurses
+	  directory.
+	+ use single-quotes in configure scripts assignments for MK_SHARED_LIB
+	  to workaround shell bug on FreeBSD 2.1.5
+	+ remove tabs from intermediate #define's for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF
+	  that caused incorrect result in ncurses_cfg.h
+	+ correct initialization in lib_trace.c, which omitted version info.
+	+ remove ech, el1 attributes from cons25w description; they appear to
+	  malfunction in FreeBSD 2.1.5
+	+ correct color attributes in terminfo.src and lib_color.c to match
+	  SVr4 behavior by interchanging codes 1,4, 3,6 in the setf/setb
+	  capabilities.
+	+ use curs_set() rather than checks via tigetstr() for test programs
+	  that hide the cursor: firework, rain, worm.
+	+ ensure that if the terminal lacks change_scroll_region, parm_index
+	  and parm_rindex are used only to scroll the whole screen (patch by
+	  Peter Wemm).
+	+ correct curs_set() logic, which did not return ERR if the requested
+	  attributes did not exist, nor did it assume an unknown initial state
+	  for the cursor (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ combine IDcTransformLine and NoIDcTransformLine to new TransformLine
+	  function in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ correct hashmap.c, which did not update index information (patch by
+	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+	+ patch by Juergen Pfeifer for C++ binding and demo (see c++/NEWS)
+	+ correct index in lib_instr.c (Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ correct typo in 970426 patch from Tom's cleanup of lib_overlay.c
+	  (Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+970426
+	+ corrected cost computation in PutRange(), which was using
+	  milliseconds compared to characters by adding two new members to the
+	  SCREEN struct, _hpa_ch_cost and _cup_ch_cost.
+	+ drop ncurses/lib_unctrl.c, add ncurses/MKunctrl.awk to generate a
+	  const array of strings (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov, though
+	  with a perl script 970118).
+	+ rewrote ncurses 'b' test to better exercise magic-cookie (xmc), as
+	  well as noting the attributes that are not supported by a terminal.
+	+ trace the computation of cost values in lib_mvcur.c
+	+ modify _nc_visbuf() to use octal rather than hex, corrected sign
+	  extension bug in that function that caused buffer overflow.
+	+ modify trace in lib_acs.c to use _nc_visbuf().
+	+ suppress trace within _traceattr2().
+	+ correct logic of _tracechtype2(), which did not account for repeats
+	  or redefinition within an acsc string.
+	+ modify debug-library version baudrate() to use environment variable
+	  $BAUDRATE to override speed computation.  This is needed for
+	  regression testing.
+	+ correct problems shown by "weblint -pedantic".
+	+ update mailing-list information (now ncurses@bsdi.com).
+
+970419
+	+ Improve form_field_validation.3x manpage to better describe the
+	  precision parameter for TYPE_NUMERIC and TYPE_INTEGER.  Provide more
+	  precise information how the range checking can be avoided.  (patch by
+	  Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan Henderson)
+	+ change type of min/max value of form types TYPE_INTEGER to long to
+	  match SVr4 documentation.
+	+ set the form window to stdscr in set_form_win() so that form_win()
+	  won't return null (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan
+	  Henderson <bryanh@giraffe.netgate.net>).
+
+970412
+	+ corrected ifdef'ing of inline (from 970321) for TRACE vs C++.
+	+ corrected toggle_attr_off() macro (patch by Andries.Brouwer).
+	+ modify treatment of empty token in $MANPATH to /usr/man (reported by
+	  <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>)
+	+ modify traces that record functions-called so that chtype and attr_t
+	  values are expressed symbolically, to simplify reuse of generated
+	  test-scripts on SVr4 regression testing.
+	+ add new trace functions _traceattr2() and _tracechtype2()
+
+970405
+	+ add configure option --enable-const, to support the use of 'const'
+	  where XSI should have, but did not, specify.  This defines
+	  NCURSES_CONST, which is an empty token otherwise, for strict
+	  compatibility.
+	+ make processing of configure options more verbose by echoing the
+	  --enable/--with values.
+	+ add configure option --enable-big-core
+	+ set initial state of software echo off as per XSI.
+	+ check for C++ builtin.h header
+	+ correct computation of absolute-path for $INSTALL that dropped "-c"
+	  parameter from the expression.
+	+ rename config.h to ncurses_cfg.h to avoid naming-conflict when
+	  ncurses is integrated into larger systems (from diffs by H.J.Lu for
+	  libc).
+	+ correct inequality in lib_doupdate.c that caused a single-char to not
+	  be updated when the char on the right-margin was not blank, idcok()
+	  was true (patch by Alexander V.  Lukyanov 970124, also reported by
+	  Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu> 970329).
+	+ modify 'clean' rule in include/Makefile so that files created by
+	  configure script are removed in 'distclean' rule instead.
+
+970328
+	+ correct array limit in tparam_internal(), add case to interpret "%x"
+	  (patch by Andreas Schwab)
+	+ rewrote number-parsing in ncurses.c 'd' test; it did not reset the
+	  value properly when non-numeric characters were given (reported by
+	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
+
+970321
+	+ move definition of __INTERNAL_CAPS_VISIBLE before include for
+	  progs.priv.h (patch by David MacKenzie).
+	+ add configuration summary, reordered check for default include
+	  directory to better accommodate a case where installer is configuring
+	  a second copy of ncurses (reported by Klaus Weide
+	  <kweide@tezcat.com>)
+	+ moved the #define for 'inline' as an empty token from the
+	  $(CFLAGS_DEBUG) symbol into config.h, to avoid redefinition warning
+	  (reported by Ward Horner).
+	+ modify test for bool builtin type to use 'unsigned' rather than
+	  'unknown' when cross-compiling (reported by Ward Horner).
+
+970315
+	+ add header dependencies so that "make install.libs" will succeed
+	  even if "make all" is not done first.
+	+ moved some macros from lib_doupdate.c to curses.priv.h to use in
+	  expanded functions with ATAC.
+	+ correct implementation of lib_instr.c; both XSI and SVr4 agree that
+	  the winnstr functions can return more characters than will fit on one
+	  line.
+
+970308
+	+ modify script that generates lib_gen.c to support traces of called &
+	  return.
+	+ add new configure option "--disable-macros", for testing calls within
+	  lib_gen.c
+	+ corrected logic that screens level-checking of called/return traces.
+
+970301
+	+ use new configure macro NC_SUBST to replace AC_PATH_PROG, better
+	  addressing request by Ward Horner.
+	+ check for cross-compiling before trying to invoke the autoconf
+	  AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED macro (reported by Ward Horner)
+	+ correct/simplify loop in _nc_visbuf(), 970201 changes omitted
+	  a pointer-increment.
+	+ eliminate obsolete symbol SHARED_ABI from dist.mk (noted by
+	  Florian La Roche).
+
+970215
+	+ add configure option --enable-expanded, together with code that
+	  implements an expanded form of certain complex macros, for testing
+	  with ATAC.
+	+ disable CHECK_POSITION unless --with-assertions is configured
+	  (Alexander Lukyanov pointed out that this is redundant).
+	+ use keyname() to show traced chtype values where applicable rather
+	  than _tracechar(), which truncates the value to 8-bits.
+	+ minor fixes to TRACE_ICALLS, added T_CREATE, TRACE_CCALLS macros.
+	+ modify makefiles in progs and test directories to avoid using C
+	  preprocessor options on link commands (reported by Ward Horner)
+	+ correct ifdef/include-order for nc_alloc.h vs lib_freeall.c (reported
+	  by Ward Horner)
+	+ modify ifdef's to use configure-defined symbols consistently
+	  (reported by Ward Horner)
+	+ add/use new makefile symbols AR, AR_OPTS and LD to assist in non-UNIX
+	  ports (reported by Ward Horner <whorner@tsi-telsys.com>)
+	+ rename struct try to struct tries, to avoid name conflict with C++
+	  (reported by Gary Johnson).
+	+ modify worm.c to hide cursor while running.
+	+ add -Wcast-qual to gcc warnings, fix accordingly.
+	+ use PutChar rather than PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to properly handle
+	  wrapping (Alexander Lukyanov).
+	+ correct spurious echoing of input in hanoi.c from eric's #291 & #292
+	  patches (reported by Vernon C. Hoxie <vern@zebra.alphacdc.com>).
+	+ extend IRIX configuration to IRIX64
+	+ supply missing install.libs rule needed after restructuring
+	  test/Makefile.in
+
+970208
+	+ modify "make mostlyclean" to leave automatically-generated source
+	  in the ncurses directory, for use in cross-compiles.
+	+ autogenerated object-dependencies for test directory
+	+ add configure option --with-rcs-ids
+	+ modify configuration scripts to generate major/minor/patch versions
+	  (suggested by Alexander Lukyanov).
+	+ supply missing va_end's in lib_scanw.c
+	+ use stream I/O for trace-output, to eliminate fixed-size buffer
+	+ add TRACE_ICALLS definition/support to lib_trace.c
+	+ modify Ada95 binding to work with GNAT 3.09 (Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+970201
+	+ add/modify traces for called/return values to simplify extraction
+	  for test scripts.
+	+ changed _nc_visbuf to quote its result, and to dynamically allocate
+	  the returned buffer.
+	+ invoke ldconfig after installing shared library
+	+ modify install so that overwrite applies to shared library -lcurses
+	  in preference to static library (reported by Zeyd 960928).
+	+ correct missing ';' in 961221 mod to overwrite option use of $(LN_S).
+	+ fixes to allow "make install" to work without first doing a "make
+	  all" (suggested by Larry Virden).
+
+970125
+	+ correct order of #ifdef for TABS_OK.
+	+ instrumented toe.c to test memory-leaks.
+	+ correct memory-deallocation in toe.c (patch by Jesse Thilo).
+	+ include <sys/types.h> in configuration test for regex.h (patch by
+	  Andreas Schwab)
+	+ make infocmp recognize -I option, for SVr4 compatibility (reported by
+	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
+
+970118
+	+ add extension 'use_default_colors()', modified test applications that
+	  use default background (firework, gdc, hanoi, knight, worm) to
+	  demonstrate.
+	+ correct some limit checks in lib_doupdate.c exposed while running
+	  worm.
+	+ use typeCalloc macro for readability.
+	+ add/use definition for CONST to accommodate testing with Solaris
+	  (SVr4) curses, which doesn't use 'const' in its prototypes.
+	+ modify ifdef's in test/hashtest.c and test/view.c to compile with
+	  Solaris curses.
+	+ modify _tracedump() to pad pad colors & attrs lines to match change
+	  in 970101 showing first/last changes.
+	+ corrected location of terminating null on dynamically allocated forms
+	  fields (patch by Per Foreby).
+
+970111
+	+ added headers to make view.c compile on SCO with the resizeterm()
+	  code (i.e., struct winsize) - though this compiles, I don't have a
+	  suitable test configuration since SIGWINCH doesn't pass my network to
+	  that machine - T.Dickey.
+	+ update test/configure.in to supply some default substitutions.
+	+ modify configure script to add -lncurses after -lgpm to fix problem
+	  linking against static libraries.
+	+ add a missing noraw() to test/ncurses.c (places noted by Jeremy
+	  Buhler)
+	+ add a missing wclear() to test/testcurs.c (patch by Jeremy Buhler
+	  <jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>)
+	+ modify headers to accommodate compilers that don't allow duplicate
+	  "#define" lines for NCURSES_VERSION (reported by Larry W. Virden
+	  <lvirden@cas.org>)
+	+ fix formatting glitch in curs_getch.3x (patch by Jesse Thilo).
+	+ modify lib_doupdate to make el, el1 and ed optimization use the
+	  can_clear_with macro, and change EmitRange to allow leaving cursor at
+	  the middle of interval, rather than always at the end (patch by
+	  Alexander Lukyanov originally 960929, resync 970106).
+
+970104
+	+ workaround defect in autoconf 2.12 (which terminates configuration
+	  if no C++ compiler is found) by adding an option --without-cxx.
+	+ modify several man-pages to use tbl, where .nf/.fi was used (reported
+	  by Jesse Thilo).
+	+ correct font-codes in some man-pages (patch by Jesse Thilo
+	  <Jesse.Thilo@pobox.com>)
+	+ use configure script's knowledge of existence of g++ library for the
+	  c++ Makefile (reported by Paul Jackson).
+	+ correct misleading description of --datadir configuration option
+	  (reported by Paul Jackson <pj@sam.engr.sgi.com>)
+
+970101
+	+ several corrections to _nc_mvcur_scrolln(), prompted by a bug report
+	  from Peter Wemm:
+	> the logic for non_dest_scroll_region was interchanged between the
+	  forward & reverse scrolling cases.
+	> multiple returns from the function allowed certain conditions to do
+	  part of an operation before discovering that it couldn't be
+	  completed, returning an error without restoring the cursor.
+	> some returns were ERR, where the function had completed the
+	  operation, because the insert/delete line logic was improperly
+	  tested (this was probably the case Peter saw).
+	> contrary to comments, some scrolling cases were tested after the
+	  insert/delete line method.
+	+ modify _tracedump() to show first/last changes.
+	+ modify param of ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c to 'newscr', fixes
+	  refresh problem (reported by Peter Wemm) that caused nvi to not show
+	  result of ":r !ls" until a ^L was typed.
+
+961229	(internal alpha)
+	+ correct some of the writable-strings warnings (reported by Gary
+	  Johnson <gjohnson@season.com>).  Note that most of the remaining ones
+	  are part of the XSI specification, and can't be "fixed".
+	+ improve include-dependencies in form, menu, panel directories.
+	+ correct logic of delay_output(), which would return early if
+	  there is data on stdin.
+	+ modify interface & logic of _nc_timed_wait() to support 2 file
+	  descriptors, needed for GPM.
+	+ integrate patch by Andrew Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> for GPM (mouse)
+	  support, correcting logic in wgetch() and _nc_mouse_parse() which
+	  prevented patch from working properly.
+	+ improve performance of panel algorithm (Juergen Pfeifer 961203).
+	+ strip RCS id's from generated .html files in Ada95 subtree.
+	+ resync with generated .html files (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
+	+ terminfo.src 10.1.0 from Eric.
+
+961224	4.0 release
+	+ release as 4.0 to accommodate Linux ld.so.1.8.5
+	+ correct syntax/spelling, regenerated .doc files from .html using
+	  lynx 2.5
+	+ refined forms/menus makefiles (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
+
+961221	- snapshot
+	+ remove logic in read_entry.c that attempts to refine errno by using
+	  'access()' for the directory (from patch by Florian La Roche).
+	+ correct configure test/substitution that inhibits generating
+	  include-path to /usr/include if gcc is used (reported by Florian La
+	  Roche).
+	+ modify setupterm() to allocate new TERMINAL for each call, just as
+	  solaris' curses does (Alexander Lukyanov 960829).
+	+ corrected memory leaks in read_entry.c
+	+ add configure options --with-dbmalloc, --with-dmalloc, and
+	  --disable-leaks, tested by instrumenting infocmp, ncurses programs.
+	+ move #include's for stdlib.h and string.h to *.priv.h to accommodate
+	  use of dbmalloc.
+	+ modify use of $(LN_S) to follow recommendation in autoconf 2.12,
+	  i.e., set current directory before linking.
+	+ split-out panel.priv.h, improve dependencies for forms, menus
+	  (Juergen Pfeifer 961204).
+	+ modify _nc_freewin() to reset globals curscr/newscr/stdscr when
+	  freeing the corresponding WINDOW (Purify).
+	+ modify delwin() to return ERR if the window to be deleted has
+	  subwindows, needed as a side-effect of resizeterm() (Purify).  Tested
+	  and found that SVr4 curses behaves this way.
+	+ implement logic for _nc_freeall(), bringing stub up to date.
+
+961215
+	+ modify wbkgd() so that it doesn't set nulls in the rendered text,
+	  even if its argument doesn't specify a character (fixes test case by
+	  Juergen Pfeifer for bug-report).
+	+ set window-attributes in wbkgd(), to simplify comparison against
+	  Solaris curses, which does this.
+
+961214	- snapshot
+	+ replace most constants in ncurses 'o' test by expressions, making it
+	  work with wider range of screen sizes.
+	+ add options to ncurses.c to specify 'e' test softkey format, and the
+	  number of header/footer lines to rip-off.
+	+ add ^R (repaint after resize), ^L (refresh) commands to ncurses 'p'
+	  test.
+	+ add shell-out (!) command to ncurses 'p' test to allow test of
+	  resize between endwin/refresh.
+	+ correct line-wrap case in mvcur() by emitting carriage return,
+	  overlooked in 960928, but needed due to SVr4 compatibility changes to
+	  terminal modes in 960907.
+	+ correct logic in wresize that causes new lines to be allocated,
+	  broken for the special case of increasing rows only in 960907's fix
+	  for subwindows.
+	+ modify configure script to generate $(LDFLAGS) with -L and -l options
+	  in preference to explicit library filenames.  (NOTE: this may
+	  require further amending, since I vaguely recall a dynamic loader
+	  that did not work properly without the full names, but it should be
+	  handled as an exception to the rule, since some linkers do bulk
+	  inclusion of libraries when given the full name - T.Dickey).
+	+ modify configure script to allow user-supplied $CFLAGS to set the
+	  debug-option in all libraries (requested by lots of people).
+	+ use return consistently from main(), rather than exit (reported by
+	  Florian La Roche).
+	+ add --enable-getcap-cache option to configure, normally disabled
+	  (requested by Florian La Roche).
+	+ make configure test for gettimeofday() and possibly -lbsd more
+	  efficient (requested by Florian La Roche florian@knorke.saar.de)
+	+ minor adjustments to Ada95 binding (patches by Juergen Pfeifer)
+	+ correct attributes after emitting orig_pair in lib_vidattr.c (patch
+	  by lav@yars.free.net).
+
+961208
+	+ corrected README wrt Ada95 (Juergen Pfeifer)
+
+961207	- snapshot

+	+ add entry for color_xterm
+
+961116	- snapshot

+	  <perf@efd.lth.se>).
+
+961102	- snapshot

+	+ corrected extra '\' character inserted before ',' in comp_scan.c
+	+ corrected expansion of %-format characters in dump_entry.c; some were

+	  a default.
+
+961013
+	+ revised xterm terminfo descriptions to reflect the several versions
+	  that are available.
+	+ corrected a pointer reference in dump_entry.c that didn't test if

+	+ change default xterm type to xterm-x11r6.
+	+ correct quoting in configure that made man-pages installed with

+960928	- snapshot
+	+ ifdef'd out _nc_hash_map (still slower)
+	+ add graphic characters to vt52 description.
+	+ use PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to ensure proper background, position.
+	+ simplify/correct logic in 'mvcur()' that does wrapping; it was
+	  updating the position w/o actually moving the cursor, which broke
+	  relative moves.
+	+ ensure that 'doupdate()' sets the .oldindex values back to a sane
+	  state; this was causing a spurious refresh in ncurses 'r'.
+	+ add logic to configure (from vile) to guard against builders who
+	  don't remove config.cache & config.status when doing new builds.
+	+ corrected logic for 'repeat_char' in EmitRange (from #317), which

+	  and their size counts per-screen for multi-terminal applications.
+	+ Improved error reporting for infotocap translation errors.

+
+960907	- snapshot

+	  problem reported by John M. Flinchbaugh <glynis@netrax.net>)
+	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to accommodate terminal responses to C1 codes
+	  (and split up this screen to accommodate non-ANSI terminals).
+	+ test enter_insert_mode and exit_insert_mode in has_ic().

+	+ disable ICRNL, etc., during initialization to match SVr4, removing

+	+ disable ONLCR during initialization, to match SVr4 (this is needed
+	  for cursor optimization when the cursor-down is a newline).
+	+ replaced Eric's imitation of wresize with my original (his didn't

+
+960831	- snapshot
+	+ memory leaks (Alexander V. Lukyanov).

+	+ corrected wbkgdset macro (XSI allows background character to be
+	  null), and tests that use it.
+	+ more corrections to terminfo (xterm & rxvt)
+	+ undid change to mcprint prototype (cannot use size_t in curses.h
+	  because not all systems declare it in the headers that we can safely

+	+ corrected misplaced wclrtoeol calls in addch to accommodate wrapping
+	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
+	+ modify lib_doupdate.c to use effective costs to tradeoff between

+
+960617
+	+ corrected two logic errors in read_entry.c, write_entry.c (called by

+	+ refined pathname computation in run_tic.sh and shlib.
+	+ corrected initialization of $IP in misc/run_tic.sh
+
+960615	- snapshot

+	  attributes).
+	+ modified lib_doupdate.c to use lower-level SP's current_attr state
+	  instead of curscr's state, since it is redundant.
+	+ correction to IDcTransformLine logic which controls where InsStr is

+
+### ncurses-1.9.8a -> 1.9.9e
+
+* fixed broken wsyncup()/wysncdown(), as a result wnoutrefresh() now has
+  copy-changed-lines behavior.
+* added and documented wresize() function.
+* more fixes to LOWER-RIGHT corner handling.
+* changed the line-breakout optimization code to allow some lines to be
+  emitted before the first check.
+* added option for tic to use symbolic instead of hard links (for AFS)
+* fix to restore auto-wrap mode.
+* trace level can be controlled by environment variable.
+* better handling of NULs in terminal descriptions.
+* improved compatibility with observed SVR4 behavior.
+* the refresh behavior of over-lapping windows is now more efficient and
+  behaves like SVR4.
+* use autoconf 2.7, which results in a working setup for SCO 5.0.
+* support for ESCDELAY.
+* small fixes for menu/form code.
+* the test directory has its own configure.
+* fixes to pads when optimizing scrolling.
+* fixed several off-by-one bugs.
+* fixes for termcap->terminfo translation; less restrictions more correct
+  behavior.
+
+### ncurses-1.9.7 -> 1.9.8a
+
+* teach infocmp -i to recognize ECMA highlight sequences
+* infocmp now dumps all SVr4 termcaps (not just the SVr4 ones) on -C
+* support infocmp -RBSD.
+* satisfy XSI Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
+* This represents the last big change to the public interface of ncurses. The
+  ABI_VERSION has now been set at 3.0 and should stay there barring any great
+  catastrophies or acts of God.
+* The C++ has been cleaned up in reaction to the changes to satisfy XSI's
+  requirements.
+* libncurses now gets linked to libcurses to help seamless emulation
+  (replacement) of a vendor's curses. --disable-overwrite turns this behavior
+  off.
+
+### ncurses-1.9.6 -> 1.9.7
+
+* corrected return values of setupterm()
+* Fixed some bugs in tput (it does padding now)
+* fixed a bug in tic that made it do the wrong thing on entries with more than
+  one `use' capability.
+* corrected the screen-size calculation at startup time to alter the
+  numeric capabilities as per SVr4, not just LINES and COLS.
+* toe(1) introduced; does what infocmp -T used to.
+* tic(1) can now translate AIX box1 and font[0123] capabilities.
+* tic uses much less core, the dotic.sh kluge can go away now.
+* fix read_entry() and write_entry() to pass through cancelled capabilities OK.
+* Add $HOME/.terminfo as source/target directory for terminfo entries.
+* termcap compilation now automatically dumps an entry to $HOME/.terminfo.
+* added -h option to toe(1).
+* added -R option to tic(1) and infocmp(1).
+* added fallback-entry-list feature.
+* added -i option to infocmp(1).
+* do a better job at detecting if we're on SCO.
+
+### ncurses-1.9.5 -> 1.9.6
+
+* handling of TERMCAP environment variables now works correctly.
+* various changes to shorten termcap translations to less that 1024 chars.
+* tset(1) added
+* mouse support for xterm.
+* most data tables are now const and accordingly live in shareable text space.
+* Obey the XPG4/SVr4 practice that echo() is initally off.
+* tic is much better at translating XENIX and AIX termcap entries now.
+* tic can interpret ko capabilities now.
+* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's forms library.
+* taught write_entry() how not to write more than it needs to; this change
+  reduces the size of the terminfo tree by a full 26%!
+* infocmp -T option added.
+* better warnings about historical tic quirks from tic.
+
+### ncurses 1.9.4 -> 1.9.5
+
+* menus library is now included with documentation.
+* lib_mvcur has been carefully profiled and tuned.
+* Fixed a ^Z-handling bug that was tanking lynx(1).
+* HJ Lu's patches for ELF shared libraries under Linux
+* terminfo.src 9.8.2
+* tweaks for compiling in seperate directories.
+* Thomas Dickey's patches to support NeXT's brain-dead linker
+* Eric Raymond's patches to fix problems with long termcap entries.
+* more support for shared libraries under SunOS and IRIX.
+
+### ncurses 1.9.3 -> 1.9.4
+
+* fixed an undefined-order-of-evaluation bug in lib_acs.c
+* systematically gave non-API public functions and data an _nc_ prefix.
+* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's menu code into the distribution.
+* totally rewrote the knight test game's interface
+
+### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.3
+
+* fixed the TERMCAP_FILE Support.
+* fixed off-by-one errors in scrolling code
+* added tracemunch to the test tools
+* took steps to cut the running time of make install.data
+
+### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.2d
+
+* revised 'configure' script to produce libraries for normal, debug,
+  profile and shared object models.
+
+### ncurses 1.9.1 -> 1.9.2
+
+* use 'autoconf' to implement 'configure' script.
+* panels support added
+* tic now checks for excessively long termcap entries when doing translation
+* first cut at eliminating namespace pollution.
+
+### ncurses 1.8.9 -> 1.9
+
+* cleanup gcc warnings for the following: use size_t where 'int' is not
+  appropriate, fixed some shadowed variables, change attr_t to compatible with
+  chtype, use attr_t in some places where it was confused with 'int'.
+* use chtype/attr_t casts as appropriate to ensure portability of masking
+  operations.
+* added-back waddchnstr() to lib_addstr.c (it had been deleted).
+* supplied missing prototypes in curses.h
+* include <termcap.h> in lib_termcap.c to ensure that the prototypes
+  are consistent (they weren't).
+* corrected prototype of tputs in <termcap.h>
+* rewrote varargs parsing in lib_tparm.c (to avoid referencing memory
+  that may be out of bounds on the stack) -- Purify found this.
+* ensure that TRACE is defined in lib_trace.c (to solve prototype
+  warnings from gcc).
+* corrected scrolling-region size in 'mvcur_wrap()'
+* more spelling fixes
+* use 'calloc()' to allocate WINDOW struct in lib_newwin.c (Purify).
+* set default value for SP->_ofp in lib_set_term.c (otherwise SunOS dumps
+  core in init_acs()).
+* include <errno.h> in write_entry.c (most "braindead" includes declare errno
+  in that file).
+
+### ncurses 1.8.8 -> 1.8.9
+
+* compile (mostly) clean with gcc 2.5.8 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
+  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion and using __attribute__ to flush out
+  non-portable use of "%x" for pointers, or for chtype data (which is declared
+  as a long).
+* modified doupdate to ensure that typahead was turned on before attempting
+  select-call (otherwise, some implementations hang).
+* added trace mask TRACE_FIFO, use this in lib_getch.c to allow finer
+  resolution of traces.
+* improved bounds checking on several critical functions.
+* the data directory has been replaced by the new master terminfo file.
+* -F file-comparison option added to infocmp.
+* compatibility with XSI Curses is now documented in the man bages.
+* wsyncup/wsyncdown functions are reliable now; subwindow code in general
+  is much less flaky.
+* capabilities ~msgr, tilde_glitch, insert_padding, generic_type, no_pad_char,
+  memory_above, memory_below, and hard_copy are now used properly.
+* cursor-movement optimization has been completely rewritten.
+* vertical-movement optimization now uses hardware scrolling, il, dl.
+
+### ncurses 1.8.7 -> 1.8.8
+* untic no longer exists, infocmp replaces it.
+* tic can understand termcap now, especially if it is called captoinfo.
+* The Linux Standard Console terminfo entry is called linux insead of console.
+  It also uses the kernel's new method of changing charsets.
+* initscr() will EXIT upon error (as the docs say) This wil mostly happen if
+  you try to run on an undefined terminal.
+* I can get things running on AIX but tic can't compile terminfo. I have to
+  compile entries on another machine. Volunteers to hunt this bug are welcome.
+* wbkgd() and wbkgdset() can be used to set a windows background to color.
+  wclear()/werase() DO NOT use the current attribute to clear the screen.
+  This is the way SVR4 curses works. PDCurses 2.1 is broken in this respect,
+  though PDCurses 2.2 has been fixed.
+* cleaned up the test/ directory.
+* test/worm will segfault after quite a while.
+* many spelling corrections courtesy of Thomas E. Dickey
+
+### ncurses 1.8.6 -> 1.8.7
+* cleaned up programs in test/ directory.
+* fixed wbkgdset() macro.
+* modified getstr() to stop it from advancing cursor in noecho mode.
+* modified linux terminfo entry to work with the latest kernel to get
+  the correct alternate character set.
+* also added a linux-mono entry for those running on monochrome screens.
+* changed initscr() so that it behaves like the man page says it does.
+  this fixes the problem with programs in test/ crashing with SIGSEV if
+  a terminal is undefined.
+* modified addch() to avoid using any term.h #define's
+* removed duplicate tgoto() in lib_tparm.c
+* modified dump_entry.c so that infocmp deals correctly with ',' in acsc
+* modified delwin() to correctly handle deleting subwindows.
+* fixed Makefile.dist to stop installing an empty curses.h
+* fixed a couple of out-of-date notes in man pages.
+
+### ncurses 1.8.5 -> 1.8.6
+* Implemented wbkgd(), bkgd(), bkgdset(), and wbkgdset().
+* The handling of attributes has been improved and now does not turn off color
+  if other attributes are turned off.
+* scrolling code is improved. Scrolling in subwindows is still broken.
+* Fixes to several bugs that manifest them on platforms other than Linux.
+* The default to meta now depends on the status of the terminal when ncurses
+  is started.
+* The interface to the tracing facility has changed.  Instead of the pair of
+  functions traceon() and traceoff(), there is just one function trace() which
+  takes a trace mask argument.  The trace masks, defined in curses.h, are
+  as follows:
+
+	#define TRACE_DISABLE   0x00    /* turn off tracing */
+	#define TRACE_ORDINARY  0x01    /* ordinary trace mode */
+	#define TRACE_CHARPUT   0x02    /* also trace all character outputs */
+	#define TRACE_MAXIMUM   0x0f    /* maximum trace level */
+
+  More trace masks may be added, or these may be changed, in future releases.
+* The pad code has been improved and the pad test code in test/ncurses.c has
+  been improved.
+* The prototype ansi entry has been changed to work with a wider variety
+  of emulators.
+* Fix to the prototype ansi entry that enables it to work with PC emulators
+  that treat trailing ";m" in a highlight sequence as ";0m"; this doesn't
+  break operation with any emulators.
+* There are now working infocmp, captoinfo, tput, and tclear utilities.
+* tic can now compile entries in termcap syntax.
+* Core-dump bug in pnoutrefresh fixed.
+* We now recognize and compile all the nonstandard capabilities in Ross
+  Ridge's mytinfo package (rendering it obsolete).
+* General cleanup and documentation improvements.
+* Fixes and additions to the installation-documentation files.
+* Take cursor to normal mode on endwin.
+
+### ncurses 1.8.4 -> 1.8.5
+* serious bugs in updating screen which caused erratic non-display,
+  fixed.
+* fixed initialization for getch() related variable which cause
+  unpredictable results.
+* fixed another doupdate bug which only appeared if you have
+  parm_char.
+* implemented redrawln() and redrawwin().
+* implemented winsnstr() and related functions.
+* cleaned up insertln() and deleteln() and implemented (w)insdeln().
+* changed Makefile.dist so that installation of man pages will
+  take note of the terminfo directory.
+* fixed Configure (removed the mysterious 'X').
+* Eric S. Raymond fixed the script.* files so that they work with
+  stock awk.
+
+#### ncurses 1.8.3 -> 1.8.4 #### ####
+* fixed bug in refreshing the screen after return from shell_mode.
+  There are still problems but they don't manifest themselves on
+  my machine (Linux 0.99.14f).
+* added wgetnstr() and modified things accordingly.
+* fixed the script.src script.test to work with awk not just gawk.
+* Configure can now take an argument of the target system.
+* added test/ncurses.c which replaces several other programs and
+  performs more testing.
+[Thanks to Eric S Raymond for the last 4]
+* more fixes to lib_overlay.c and added test/over.c to illustrate
+  how it works.
+* fixed ungetch() to take int instead of ch.
+* fixes to cure wgetch() if flushinp() is called.
+
+One note I forgot to mention in 1.8.3 is that tracing is off by
+default starting in the version. If you want tracing output, put
+traceon(); in your code and link with -ldcurses.
+
+#### ncurses 1.8.2 -> ncurses 1.8.3 #### ####
+MAJOR CHANGES:
+1) The order of capabilities has been changed in order to achieve
+binary compatibility with SVR4 terminfo database. This has the
+unfortunate effect of breaking application currently linked with
+ncurses. To ensure correct behavior, recompile all such programs.
+Most programs using color or newer capabilities will break, others
+will probably continue to work ok.
+
+2) Pavel Curtis has renounced his copyright to the public domain.
+This means that his original sources (posted to comp.sources.unix,
+volume 1) are now in the public domain.  The current sources are
+NOT in the public domain, they are copyrighted by me.  I'm
+entertaining ideas on what the new terms ncurses is released under.
+
+3) Eric S. Raymond has supplied a complete set of man pages for
+ncurses in ?roff format. They will eventually replace most of the
+current docs. Both sets are included in this release.
+
+Other changes and notes from 1.8.2 include:
+* SIGSEGV during scrolling no longer occurs.
+* Other problems with scrolling and use of idl have been corrected.
+* lib_getch.c has been re-written and should perform flawlessly.
+  please use test/getch.c and any other programs to test this.
+* ripoffline() is implemented (Thanks to Eric) and slk_ functions
+  changed accordingly.
+* I've added support for terminals that scroll if you write in the
+  bottom-right corner.
+* fixed more bugs in pads code. If anybody has a program that uses
+  pads I'd love a copy.
+* correct handling for terminal with back_color_erase capability
+  (such as Linux console, and most PC terminals)
+* ^Z handling apparently didn't work (I should never trust code
+  sent me to me without extensive testing). It now seems to be
+  fixed. Let me know if you have problems.
+* I've added support for Apollo and NeXT, but it may still be
+  incomplete, especially when dealing with the lack of POSIX
+  features.
+* scrolling should be more efficient on terminals with idl
+  capabilities. Please see src/lib_scroll.c for more notes.
+* The line drawing routines were offset by 1 at both ends. This
+  is now fixed.
+* added a few missing prototypes and macros (e.g. setterm())
+* fixed code in src/lib_overlay.c which used to crash.
+* added a few more programs in test/ The ones from the PDCurses
+  package are useful, especially if you have SVR4 proper. I'm
+  interested in the results you get on such a systems (Eric? ;-).
+  They already exposed certain bugs in ncurses.
+* See src/README for porting notes.
+* The C++ code should really replace ncurses.h instead of working
+  around it. It should avoid name-space clashes with nterm.h (use
+  rows instead of lines, etc.)
+* The C++ should compile ok. I've added explicit rules to the
+  Makefile because no C++ defaults are documented on the suns.
+* The docs say that echo() and nocbreak() are mutually exclusive.
+  At the moment ncurses will switch to cbreak() if the case above
+  occurs. Should it continue to do so? How about echo() and noraw()?
+* PDCurses seem to assume that wclear() will use current attribute
+  when clearing the screen. According to Eric this is not the case
+  with SVR4.
+* I have discovered, to my chagrin, SunOS 4.x (and probably other systems)
+  * doesn't have vsscanf and God knows what else!  I've will do a vsscanf().
+* I've also found out that the src/script.* rely on gawk and will not
+  work with stock awk or even with nawk. Any changes are welcome.
+* Linux is more tolerant of NULL dereferences than most systems. This
+  fact was exposed by hanoi.
+* ncurses still seems inefficient in drawing the screen on a serial
+  link between Linux and suns. The padding may be the culprit.
+* There seems to be one lingering problem with doupdate() after shelling
+  out. Despite the fact the it is sending out the correct information
+  to the terminal, nothing takes effect until you press ^L or another
+  refresh takes place. And yes, output does get flushed.
+
+#### ncurses 1.8.1 -> ncurses 1.8.2 #### Nov 28, 1993 ####
+
+* added support for SVR4 and BSDI's BSD/386.
+* major update and fix to scrolling routine.
+* MORE fixes to stuff in lib_getch.c.
+* cleaned-up configuration options and can now generate
+	Config.* files through an awk script.
+* changed setupterm() so it can be called more than once,
+	add added set_curterm(), del_curterm().
+* a few minor cleanups.
+* added more prototypes in curses.h
+
+#### ncurses 1.8 -> ncurses 1.8.1 #### Nov 4, 1993 ####
+
+* added support for NeXTStep 3.0
+* added termcap emulation (not well tested).

+* 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)

+
+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

+
+#### 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.

+  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).

+* 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().
