Several functions are reentrant, + but most require either a window-level or screen-level mutex. + (This is API-compatible, but not ABI-compatible with the + normal library). + + add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make + structs opaque in selected configurations. + + add NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS symbols to + curses.h to make it simpler to tell if the extended functions + and/or colors are declared. + + add wresize() to C++ binding + + eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in C++ binding. + + add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions + that pass a WINDOW* parameter. + + adapt mouse-handling code from menu library in form-library + + improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, + fields, etc. + + make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface . + + add check to trace-file open, if the given name is a + directory, add ".log" to the name and try again. + + several new manpages: curs_legacy.3x, curs_memleaks.3x, + curs_opaque.3x and curs_threads.3x * programs: - + add new test programs: chgat.c, demo_altkeys.c, echochar.c, - foldkeys.c, movewindow.c, redraw.c, (noting that existing - test programs also were modified to test additional - features). - + modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings. - + modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() - functions, or as a text file if those are not available. - + improve infocmp/tic -f option formatting. - + add toe -a option, to show all databases. This uses new - private interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating - through the list of databases. - + modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback - tables to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a - fallback entry. + + modified three test-programs to demonstrate the threading + support in this version: ditto, rain, worm. + + several new test-programs: demo_panels, dots_mvcur, + inch_wide, inchs, key_name, key_names, savescreen, + savescreen.sh test_arrays, test_get_wstr, test_getstr, + test_instr, test_inwstr and test_opaque. + + add adacurses-config to the Ada95 install. + + modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them + from being lost when that is read back in unformatted + strings. + + The tack program is now distributed separately from ncurses. * terminal database - + add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome - terminal (mgt) - + add nsterm-16color entry - + updated mlterm terminfo entry - + add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry - + remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux - entry, since it does not really do this - + add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension - + add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri - strings - + add hpterm-color terminfo entry - + add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which - are reported to implement this feature - + correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made - codes for f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style. + + added entries: + o Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color + o aterm + o konsole-256color + o mrxvt + o screen.mlterm + o screen.rxvt + o teraterm4.59 is now the primary primary teraterm entry, + renamed original to teraterm2.3 + o 9term terminal + o Newbury Data entries + + updated/improved entries: + o gnome to version 2.22.3 + o h19, z100 + o konsole to version 1.6.6 + o mlterm, mlterm+pcfkeys + o xterm, and building-blocks for function-keys to [3]xterm + patch #230.

This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision - of legacy coding. + * add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined + capabilities (this is needed for current konsole terminfo entry). + * modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or + installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in + case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh. + * correct check for notimeout() in wgetch(). + * fix a sign-extension bug in infocmp's repair_acsc() function. + * change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line. + * make Ada95 demo_panels() example work. + * fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line. + * fill in extended-color pair to make colors work for + wide-characters using extended-colors. + * improve refresh of window on top of multi-column characters, + taking into account split characters on left/right window + boundaries. + * modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned + for each multi-column character. + * improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by + using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to + append further bytes to make up a valid sequence. + * restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() + * modify keyname() to use "^X" form only if meta() has been called, + or if keyname() is called without initializing curses, e.g., via + initscr() or newterm(). + * modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint(). + If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~" + sequence. + * improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting + the soft-keys. + * modify form library to accept control characters such as newline + in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris. + * use NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK() in definition of BUTTON_RELEASE(), etc., + to make those work properly with the --enable-ext-mouse + configuration + * correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return + value from C where none was returned. + * reviewed/fixed issues reported by Coverity and Klocwork tools.
