for threads to make the report more readable. Reorganized the
structures reported to make the categories more apparent.

> merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
+ support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer. The test programs
such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
this feature.
+ the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
+ other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
ncurses library work as expected.
+ applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
+ in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
+ because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
+ the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
+ the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
wide-character configuration to 32768.
- Add ncurses patch 20180120
+ build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence.
+ add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts.
+ modify ncurses-examples to install test-scripts in the data directory.
+ work around tool-breakage in Debian 9 and later by invoking
gprconfig to specify the C compiler to be used by gnatmake,
and conditionally suppressing Library_Options line for static
libraries.
+ bump the compat level for test-packages to 7, i.e., Debian 5.
- Add tack patch 1.08-20170818

+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
configured to access it via weak symbols.

checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
behavior.
+ update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
+ modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE. The symbol is
needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
+ generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
(report by Jeffrey Walton).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Jan 8 08:45:51 UTC 2018 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20171230
+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with Fedora27, adding check for
reset_color_pairs() -- not yet in Fedora's package.
+ consistently add $CFLAGS to $MK_SHARED_LIB symbol in configure
script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than
directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton).
+ set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in "*.map" files. While there are
some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are
anticipated.

+ assign 0 to pointer in _nc_tgetent_leak() after freeing it. Also
avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent
if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder,
OpenSuSE #1070450).
+ minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.

are.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented"
function in link_test.c
+ updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
+ modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case
LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU

+ add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Nov 27 13:32:56 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20171125
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid tracing result from getstr/getnstr
before initialized.
+ add "-a" aspect-ratio option to picsmap.
+ add configure check for default path of rgb.txt, used in picsmap.
+ modify _nc_write_entry() to truncate too-long filename (report by
Hosein Askari, Debian #882620).
+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses:
+ it lacks the use_env() function.
+ it lacks libpanel; a recent change used the wrong ifdef symbol.
+ add a macro for is_linetouched() and adjust the function's return
value to make it possible for most applications to check for an
error-return (report by Midolikawa H).
+ additional manpage cleanup.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git

rather than the standard code (patch by Roman Kagan)
+ correct sgr/sgr0 strings in a few other cases reported by tic, making
those correspond to the non-sgr settings where they differ, but
otherwise use ECMA-48 consistently:
jaixterm, aixterm, att5420_2, att4424, att500, decansi, d410-7b,
dm80, hpterm, emu-220, hp2, iTerm2.app, mterm-ansi, ncrvt100an,
st-0.7, vi603, vwmterm -TD
+ build-fix for diagnostics warning in lib_mouse.c for pre-5.0 versions

+ modify test/ncurses.c C/c tests to allow for extended color pairs.
+ add endwin() call in error-returns from test/ncurses.c omitted in
recent redesign of its menu (cf: 20170923).

+ add test/padview.c, to compare pads with direct updates in view.c
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Oct 22 11:41:09 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20171021

+ remove very old SIGWINCH example in test/view.c, just use KEY_RESIZE.
+ add -T, -e, -f -m options to "dots" test-programs.
+ fix a few typos in usage-messages for test-programs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 16 09:59:53 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20171014
+ minor cleanup to test/view.c:
+ eliminate "-n" option by simply reading the whole file.
+ implement page up/down commands.
+ add check in tput for init/reset operands to ensure those use a
terminal.
+ improve manual pages which discuss chtype, cchar_t types and the
attribute values which can be stored in those types.
+ correct array-index when parsing "-T" command-line option in tabs
program.
+ modify demo_new_pair.c to pass extended pairs to setcchar().
+ add test/dots_xcurses.c to illustrate a different approach used for
extended colors which can be contrasted with dots_curses.c.
+ add a check in tic to note when a description uses non-mandatory
delays without xon_xoff. This is not an error, but some descriptions
for a terminal emulator may use the combination incorrectly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 9 10:51:49 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20171007
+ modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
+ review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.
+ amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the
database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable
terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen).
+ correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but
not slk_color().
+ regenerate man-html documentation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 4 07:08:23 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170930
+ fix a symbol conflict that made ncurses.c C/c menu not work with
Solaris xpg4 curses.
+ add refresh() call to dots_mvcur.c, needed to use mvcur() with
Solaris xpg4 curses after calling newterm().
+ minor fixes for configure script from work on ncurses-examples and
tin.
+ improve animation in test/xmas.c by adding a time-delay in blinkit().
+ modify several test programs to reflect that ncurses honors existing
signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not.
+ modify bs.c to make it easier to quit.
+ change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open
documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different
values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned
short. Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the
two sets.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 25 07:48:39 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170923
+ modify menu for test/ncurses.c to fit on 24-line screen.
+ build-fix for configure --with-caps=uwin
+ add options to test_arrays.c, for selecting termcap vs terminfo, etc.

+ minor fix to test/filter.c to avoid clearing the command in one case.
+ modify filter() to discard clr_eos if back_color_erase is set.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 18 14:58:55 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Do not remove ticw.pc as well as tinfow.pc for wide character
ncurses ABI 6 (boo#1056171)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 11 09:49:02 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170827
+ fix a bug in repeat_char logic (cf: 20170729, report by Chris Clayton).
- Add ncurses patch 20170902
+ amend change for endwin-state for better consistency with the older
logic (report/patch by Jeb Rosen, cf: 20170722).
+ modify check in fmt_entry() to handle a cancelled reset string
(Debian #873746). Make similar fixes in other parts of dump_entry.c
and tput.c
- Add ncurses patch 20170909
+ improve wide-character implementation of myADDNSTR() in frm_driver.c,
which was inconsistent with the normal implementation.
+ save/restore cursor position in Undo_Justification(), matching
behavior of Buffer_To_Window() (report by Leon Winter).
+ modify test/knight to provide the "slow" solution for small screens
using "R", noting that Warnsdorf's method is easily done with "a".
+ modify several test-programs which call use_default_colors() to
consistently do this only if "-d" option is given.
+ additional changes to test with non-standard variants of curses:
+ modify a loop limit in firework.c to work around absense of limit
checks in some libraries.

- Add ncurses patch 20170826
+ fixes for "iterm2" (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
+ corrected a warning from tic about keys which are the same, to skip
over missing/cancelled values.
+ add check in tic for unnecessary use of "2" to denote a shifted
special key.
+ improve checks in trim_sgr0, comp_parse.c and parse_entry.c, for
cancelled string capabilities.
+ add check in _nc_parse_entry() for invalid entry name, setting the
name to "invalid" to avoid problems storing entries.
+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
+ add a check in comp_scan.c to handle the special case where a
nontext file ending with a NUL rather than newline is given to tic
as input (Redhat #1484274).

+ regenerate llib-* files.
+ regenerate HTML manpages.
+ improve picsmap test-program:
+ reduce memory used for tsearch
+ add report in log file showing cumulative color coverage.
+ add -x option to clear/tput to make the E3 extension optional
(cf: 20130622).
+ add options -T and -V to clear command for compatibility with tput.
+ add usage message to clear command (Debian #371855).
+ improve usage messages for tset and tput.
+ minor fixes to "RDGB" extension and reset_color_pairs().
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Aug 14 08:25:49 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170812
+ improve description of -R option in infocmp manual page (report by
Stephane Chazelas).
+ add reset_color_pairs() function.
+ add user_caps.5 manual page to document the terminfo extensions used
by ncurses.
+ improve build scripts, using SIGQUIT vs SIGTRAP; add other configure
script fixes from work on xterm, lynx and tack.
+ modify install-rule for ncurses-examples to put the data files in
/usr/share/ncurses-examples
+ improve tracemunch, by changing address-parameters of add_wch(),
color_content() and pair_content() to dummy parameters.
+ minor optimization to _nc_change_pair, to return quickly when the
current screen is marked for clearing.
+ in-progress changes to improve performance of test/picsmap.c for
loading image files.
+ modify allocation for SCREEN's color-pair table to start small, grow
on demand up to the existing limit.
+ add "RGB" extension capability for direct-color support, use this to
improve color_content().
+ improve picsmap test-program:
+ if no palette file is needed, attempt to load one based on $TERM,
checking first in the current directory, then by adding ".dat"
suffix, and finally in the data-directory, e.g.,
/usr/share/ncurses-examples
+ add "-l" option for logging
+ add "-d" option for debugging
+ add "-s" option for stepping automatically through list of images,
with time delay.
+ use tsearch to improve time for loading color table for images.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jul 31 12:14:36 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170729
+ update interix entry using tack and SFU on Windows 7 Ultimate -TD
+ use ^? for kdch1 in interix (reported by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard)
+ add "rep" to xterm-new, available since 1997/01/26 -TD
+ move SGR 24 and 27 from vte-2014 to vte-2012 (request by Alain
Williams) -TD
+ add a check in newline_forces_scroll() in case a program moves the
cursor outside scrolling margins (report by Robert King).
+ improve _nc_tparm_analyze, using that to extend the checks made by
tic for reporting inconsistencies between the expected number of
parameters for a capability and the actual.
+ amend handling of repeat_char capability in EmitRange (adapted from
report/patch by Dick Wesseling):
+ translate the character to the alternate character set when the
alternate character set is enabled.
+ do not use repeat_char for characters past 255.
+ document "_nc_free_tinfo" in manual page, because it could be used in
tack for memory-leak checking.
+ add "--without-tack" configure option to refine "--with-progs"
configure option. Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but
a few packagers combine it during the build. If term_entry.h is
installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds.
+ adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol
needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree. Rather than relying upon
internal "_nc_" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and
string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix
curses. It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the
extended capability arrays.
+ add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722
- Modify patch ncurses-5.7-tack.dif and ncurses-6.0.dif to get
position independent executables as well
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jul 24 07:17:59 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170722
+ improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian
+ modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where
the screen was never initialized, using that to trigger a flush of
ncurses' buffer for mvcur, e.g., in test/dots_mvcur.c for the
term-driver configuration.
+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to a few other internal header
files to allow each to be compiled separately.
+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to tic's header-files; any program
using tic-library will have to supply this file. Legacy tack
versions supply this file; ongoing tack development has dropped the
dependency upon tic-library and new releases will not be affected.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jul 18 06:49:37 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Fix build by removing workaround in patch ncurses-5.7-tack.dif
which was required since patch 20170415 but had become obsolete
with patch 20170715

with ImageMagick 6.8 and newer.
+ fix build-problem with tack and ABI-5 (Debian #868328).
+ repair termcap-format from tic/infocmp broken in 20170701 fixes
(Debian #868266).
+ reformat terminfo.src with 20170513 updates.
+ improve test-packages to address lintian warnings.

- Add ncurses patch 20170701 (bsc#1046853, bsc#1046858)
+ modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment
variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an
application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux).
+ remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver
configuration; none is needed.
+ add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c
+ improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr,
fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did
not work (cf: 20160213).
+ the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently
reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer
reproducible. Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports
showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is
addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer.
+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
(Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691).
+ alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer.
+ parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as
one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not
treated as the 2-character termcap short-name.
+ fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq).
+ improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names.
+ fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu()
+ further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
(report by Allen Hewes).

throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler).
+ remove some incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
(report by Allen Hewes).
+ add test-programs for termattrs and term_attrs.
+ modify _nc_outc_wrapper to use the standard output if the screen was
not initialized, rather than returning an error.
+ improve checks for low-level terminfo functions when the terminal
has not been initialized (Redhat #1345963).
+ modify make_hash to allow building with address-sanitizer,
assuming that --disable-leaks is configured.
+ amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined
behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jun 21 10:24:20 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20170617
+ fill in some places where TERMTYPE2 vs TERMTYPE was not used
(report by Allen Hewes).
+ use ExitTerminfo() internally in error-exits for ncurses' setupterm
to help with leak checking.
+ use ExitProgram() in error-exit from initscr() to help with leak
checking.
+ review test-programs, adding checks for cases where the terminal
cannot be initialized.

- Add ncurses patch 20170603
+ add option to picsmap to use color-palette files, e.g., for mapping
to xterm-256color.
+ move the data in SCREEN used for the alloc_pair() function to the
end, to restore compatibility between ncurses/ncursesw libtinfo
(report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ add build-time utility "report_offsets" to help show when the various
configurations of tinfo library are compatible or not.
- Remove patch ncurses-6.0-crashw.patch as a temporary as now part
of patch level 20170603
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue May 30 07:29:14 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Add patch ncurses-6.0-crashw.patch as a temporary fix which will
become part of next patch level: solve binary incompatiblity of

+ add test/picsmap.c to fill in some testing issues not met by dots.
The initial version reads X bitmap (".xbm") files.
+ repair logic which forces a repaint where a color-pair's content is
changed (cf: 20170311).
+ improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 12 06:35:00 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de
- Better screen support and workaround about missing terminfo entries
might be help on boo#812067 as well as on boo#935736 but may cause
boo#940459 (which should be fixed by screen its self!)
- New package terminfo-screen which includes some useful but troubling
terminfo database entries for screen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 10 12:56:39 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de

- Add ncurses patch 20170422
+ build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen).
+ improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics-
characters.
+ remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was
marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix
implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it.
On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature.
+ correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in
icl6402 and m2-nam -TD
+ restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc,
add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King).
+ amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus
a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number.
+ correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%".
+ modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c"
and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c',
avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap.
+ in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not
written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that.
+ in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check
when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control
characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable.
+ limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in
preference to "%02" on output.
+ correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and
"%3"; the result repeated the last character.
+ add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format.
- Add ncurses patch 20170415
+ modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from
help-screen used in test/edit_field.c

+ build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX.
+ minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation.
+ extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as
integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose.
+ more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 13 13:16:58 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de

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

explicitly cancelled. Before this fix, the result was that all were
treated as only absent.
+ modify infocmp to suppress mixture of absent/cancelled capabilities
that would only show as "NULL, NULL", unless the -q option is used,
e.g., to show "-, @" or "@, -".

- Add ncurses patch 20161210
+ add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).
+ add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette
from a data file.

not optional in tput.
+ add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
+ improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
for transformed names.
+ split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.

"*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
doupdate.
+ regenerate llib-* files.

all other versions of "make" does not recognize continuation lines
of comments.
+ amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
leaving the residue in CC. That happens to work for gcc's various
"model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers (report
by Sven Joachim).
- Add ncurses patch 20160827

+ when separating compiler and options in CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, ensure
that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS
+ restore some -I options removed in 20140726 because they appeared

to switch the active menu. This requires a new extension option
O_MOUSE_MENU to tell the menu driver to put mouse events which do not
apply to the active menu back into the queue so that the application
can handle the event.
- Add ncurses patch 20160319
+ improve description of tgoto parameters (report by Steffen Nurpmeso).
+ amend workaround for Solaris line-drawing to restore a special case
that maps Unicode line-drawing characters into the acsc string for
non-Unicode locales (Debian #816888).

for better consistency with xterm (report by Leonardo Brondani
Schenkel) -TD
+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to trace wide-characters
as a whole rather than their multibyte equivalents.
+ minor fix in wadd_wchnstr() to ensure that each cell has nonzero
width.
+ move PUTC_INIT calls next to wcrtomb calls, to avoid carry-over of
error status when processing Unicode values which are not mapped.

color capabilities, accounting whether the feature is listed in ncv.
+ add check in tic for conflict between ritm, rmso, rmul versus sgr0.
- Add ncurses patch 20151219
+ add a paragraph to curs_getch.3x discussing key naming (discussion
with James Crippen).

characters, to use in special-casing systems such as Solaris.
- Add ncurses patch 20151212
+ improve CF_XOPEN_CURSES macro used in test/configure, to define as
needed NCURSES_WIDECHAR for platforms where _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
does not work. Also modified the test program to ensure that if
building with ncurses, that the cchar_t type is checked, since that
normally is since 20111030 ifdef'd depending on this test.
+ improve 20121222 workaround for broken acs, letting Solaris "work"
in spite of its m.isconfigured wcwidth which marks all of the line
drawing characters as double-width.
- Add ncurses patch 20151205
+ update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list
function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre).
+ minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use
rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are
listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item
listed in the NAME section. The latter is used to reduce clutter,
e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain
feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by
Jason McIntyre).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Nov 30 09:14:08 UTC 2015 - werner@suse.de

Tue Nov 10 13:27:31 UTC 2015 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 20151107
+ modify tset's assignment to TERM in its output to reflect the name by
which the terminal description is found, rather than the primary
name. That was an unnecessary part from the initial conversion of
tset from termcap to terminfo. The termcap program in 4.3BSD did
this to avoid using the short 2-character name (report by Rich
Burridge).
+ minor fix to configure script to ensure that rules for resulting.map
are only generated when needed (cf: 20151101).
+ modify configure script to handle the case where tic-library is
renamed, but the --with-debug option is used by itself without
normal or shared libraries (prompted by comment in Debian #803482).
- Add ncurses patch 20151101
+ amend change for pkg-config which allows build of pc-files when no
valid pkg-config library directory was configured to suppress the
actual install if it is not overridden to a valid directory at

to incorrect attribute-masking.
- Add ncurses patch 20151024
+ modify MKexpanded.c to update the expansion of a temporary filename
to "expanded.c", for use in trace statements.
+ modify layout of b/B tests in test/ncurses.c to allow for additional
annotation on the right margin; some terminals with partial support
did not display well.
+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim).
+ fix typo in INSTALL (patch by Tomas Cech).
+ improve configure check for setting WILDCARD_SYMS variable; on ppc64
the variable is in the Data section rather than Text (patch by Michel
Normand).
+ using configure option "--without-fallbacks" incorrectly caused
FALLBACK_LIST to be set to "no" (patch by Tomas Cech).
+ updated minitel entries to fix kel problem with emacs, and add
minitel1b-nb (Alexandre Montaron).
+ reviewed/updated nsterm entry Terminal.app in OSX -TD
+ replace some dead URLs in comments with equivalents from the
Internet Archive -TD
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git

+ support building with libtool on OS/2
+ use stdc++ on OS/2 kLIBC
+ clear cf_XOPEN_SOURCE on OS/2

now upstream with patch set 20151024
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Oct 31 12:04:22 UTC 2015 - sleep_walker@opensuse.org
- remove hunk from ncurses-6.0.dif modifying configure.in
according to NEWS (20110924) it is not used anymore
- drop ncurses-5.9-overwrite.dif as not neededd
(WITH_OVERWRITE=$with_overwrite is in configure already twice anyway)
- drop ncurses-6.0-avoid-line-markers.dif as not needed
(see ncurses/base/MKlib_gen.sh 69-84)

read KEY_MOUSE codes, but does not affect KEY_RESIZE.
+ add overlooked build-fix needed with Cygwin for separate Ada95
configure script, cf: 20150606 (report by Nicolas Boulenguez)

- Add ncurses patch 20150912
+ fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by
William Gallafent).
+ do not redefine "inline" in ncurses_cfg.h; this was originally to
solve a problem with gcc/g++, but is aggravated by clang's misuse
of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
+ add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
"-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.
+ improve/update test-program used for checking existence of stdc++
library.
+ if $CXXLIBS is set, the linkage test uses that in addition to $LIBS

all comments from the "tic -I" output.
+ modify infocmp -q option to suppress the "Reconstructed from"
header.
+ add infocmp/tic -Q option, which allows one to dump the compiled

+ correct an old logic error for %A and %O in tparm (report by "zreed").
+ improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the
curs_initscr.3x page.
+ modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size
of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions
in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by
Coverity).
+ modify test/configure script to check for pthreads configuration,
e.g., ncursestw library.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jul 13 12:34:48 UTC 2015 - werner@suse.de

versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
+ fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jul 6 13:37:05 UTC 2015 - werner@suse.de

+ fix a regression in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, to handle special case of
Cygwin, which uses the broken-linker feature.
+ amend fix for CF_NCURSES_CONFIG used in test/configure to assume that
ncurses package scripts work when present for cross-compiling, as the
lessor of two evils (cf: 20150530).

CF_ABI_DEFAULTS macro.
- Add ncurses patch 20150613
+ fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630).
+ modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as
the last "5.9" version, and regenerated the files. That makes the
files not use ".current" for the post-5.9 symbols. This also
corrects the label for _nc_sigprocmask used in when weak symbols are
configured for the ncursest/ncursestw libraries (prompted by
discussion with Sven Joachim).
+ fix typo in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
- Add ncurses patch 20150627
+ modify configure script to remove deprecated ABI 5 symbols when
building ABI 6.
+ add symbols _nc_Default_Field, _nc_Default_Form, _nc_has_mouse to
map-files, but marked as deprecated so that they can easily be
suppressed from ABI 6 builds (Debian #788610).
+ comment-out "screen.xterm" entry, and inherit screen.xterm-256color
from xterm-new (report by Richard Birkett) -TD
+ modify read_entry.c to set the error-return to -1 if no terminal
databases were found, as documented for setupterm.
+ add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
setupterm and restartterm functions.
+ amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
Schindelin).
- Add ncurses patch 20150704
+ fix a few problems reported by Coverity.
+ fix comparison against "/usr/include" in misc/gen-pkgconfig.in
(report by Daiki Ueno, Debian #790548, cf: 20141213).
- Add tack patch 1.07.20150606

+ add vte-2014, update vte to use that -TD
+ modify tic and infocmp to "move" a diagnostic for tparm strings that
have a syntax error to tic's "-c" option (report by Daniel Pitts).
+ fix two problems with configure script macros (Debian #786436,
cf: 20150425, cf: 20100529).

non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
definable capabilities.
+ improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
followed by terminfo capabilities. Previously the description had to
be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
embedded in the description.
+ correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
the --with-xterm-kbs option.
+ revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD

the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply
using -O3 (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20120324
+ amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
+ modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
a character device. Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20120317
+ correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).

- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111217
* review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
was not being used.
* add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
could use.
* fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
are all enabled. The terminal driver depends on a few features in
the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
and termlib.
* fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
enabled.
* use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111210
* modify configure script to check if thread library provides
pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
* modify configure script to suppress check to define _XOPEN_SOURCE
for IRIX64, since its header files have a conflict versus
_SGI_SOURCE.
* modify configure script to add ".pc" files for tic- and
tinfo-libraries, which were omitted in recent change (cf: 20111126).
* fix inconsistent checks on $PKG_CONFIG variable in configure script.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Dec 5 13:33:46 UTC 2011 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111203
* modify configure-check for etip.h dependencies, supplying a temporary
copy of ncurses_dll.h since it is a generated file (prompted by
Debian #646977).
* modify CF_CPP_PARAM_INIT "main" function to work with current C++.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Nov 28 10:23:53 UTC 2011 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111126
* correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
(cf: 20111001).
* modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
absolute pathname.
* add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
use.
* improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
* modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).
* use AC_CHECK_TOOLS in preference to AC_PATH_PROGS when searching for
ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
from patch by Mike Frysinger).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Nov 22 12:03:47 UTC 2011 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111119
* remove obsolete/conflicting fallback definition for _POSIX_SOURCE
from curses.priv.h, fixing a regression with IRIX64 and Tru64
(cf: 20110416)
* modify _nc_tic_dir() to ensure that its return-value is nonnull,
i.e., the database iterator was not initialized. This case is needed
to when tic is translating to termcap, rather than loading the
database (cf: 20111001).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Nov 18 12:00:10 UTC 2011 - werner@suse.de
- Update to tack 1.07-20110626
- Enlarge hash size for run time linker
- Enforce bind references to global function symbols to the
definition within libncurses and libtinfo
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Nov 17 13:16:17 UTC 2011 - werner@suse.de
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111112
* add pccon entries for OpenBSD console (Alexei Malinin).
* build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 with gcc 4.2.1, setting _XOPEN_SOURCE to
600 to work around inconsistent ifdef'ing of wcstof between C and
C++ header files.
* modify capconvert script to accept more than exact match on "xterm",
e.g., the "xterm-*" variants, to exclude from the conversion (patch
by Robert Millan).
* fix a typo misc/Makefile.in, used in uninstalling pc-files.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111030
* modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same
directory as an existing "terminfo" directory. This fixes a case
where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the
new hashed database to be installed in the next best location -
root's home directory.
* add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to
config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022).
* change feature test from _XPG5 to _XOPEN_SOURCE in two places, to
accommodate broken implementations for _XPG6.
* eliminate usage of NULL symbol from etip.h, to reduce header
interdependencies.
* add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to
compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403).
This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++
binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to
incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros
(report by Peter Kruse).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111022
* correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial
events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed
(cf: 20110917).
* fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when
gnat does not work.
* cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the
internal functions of libncurses. The external interface of courses
uses bool, which still produces these warnings.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111015
* improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
* amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
"YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
* improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111008
* moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
* modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
* modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111001
* modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
source-output. That allows the same flag to control the parser for
input and output of termcap source.
* modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
* restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
* modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
normally following in the source file. Also improved the warning
message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
* improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110925
* add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110924
* modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
filesystem.
* updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
* modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
Alcock aka "Nix").
* build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (ch: 20110917).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110917
* fix compiler warning for clang 2.9
* improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien
Guibouret).
* correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
(patch by Damien Guibouret).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110910
* modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
(cf: 20110716).
* revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
cf: 20100102).
* add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
* add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over
the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use
the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W
Meunier).
* add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in
FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
* improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
is used.
* install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
--with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110903
* propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report
by Tim van der Molen, cf: 20020713).
* fix typo in tset manpage (patch by Sven Joachim).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110820
* add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do
not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177".
* minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD
* add terminator entry -TD
* add simpleterm entry -TD
* improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is
null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero
(cf: 20110528).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110813
* add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
* improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
* modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
guaranteed to be unique. Also ignore these aliases when reporting
the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
* double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
* minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
error-return.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110807
* improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
* build-fix for DragonFlyBSD's pkgsrc in test/configure script.
* build-fixes for NetBSD 5.1 with termcap support enabled.
* corrected k9 in dg460-ansi, add other features based on manuals -TD
* improve trimming of whitespace at the end of terminfo/termcap output
from tic/infocmp.
* when writing termcap source, ensure that colons in the description
field are translated to a non-delimiter, i.e., "=".
* add "-0" option to tic/infocmp, to make the termcap/terminfo source
use a single line.
* add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110730
* modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
* add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
for termcap output.
* add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
"strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
features:
* allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
* disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
* expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
* modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
* fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
* fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
freed memory.
* add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be
positive.
* correct internal variables used for translating to termcap "%>"
feature, and translating from termcap %B to terminfo, needed by
tctest (cf: 19991211).
* amend a minor fix to acsc when loading a termcap file to separate it

* add a check in start_color() to limit color-pairs to 256 when
extended colors are not supported (patch by David Benjamin).
* modify setcchar to omit no-longer-needed OR'ing of color pair in
the SetAttr() macro (patch by David Benjamin).
* add kich1 to sun terminfo entry (Yuri Pankov)
* use bold rather than reverse for smso in sun-color terminfo entry
(Yuri Pankov).
* improve generation of termcap using tic/infocmp -C option, e.g.,
to correspond with 4.2BSD (prompted by discussion with Yuri Pankov
regarding Schilling's test program):
* translate %02 and %03 to %2 and %3 respectively.
* suppress string capabilities which use %s, not supported by tgoto

* add workaround from xterm #271 changes to ensure that compiler flags
are not used in the $CC variable.
* improve support for shared libraries, tested with AIX 5.3, 6.1 and
7.1 with both gcc 4.2.4 and cc.
* modify configure checks for AIX to include release 7.x

at gentoo prefix repository (patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110626
* move include of nc_termios.h out of term_entry.h, since the latter
is installed, e.g., for tack while the former is not (report by
Sven Joachim).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110625
* improve cleanup() function in lib_tstp.c, using _exit() rather than
exit() and checking for SIGTERM rather than SIGQUIT (prompted by
comments forwarded by Nicholas Marriott).
* reduce name pollution from term.h, moving fallback #define's for
tcgetattr(), etc., to new private header nc_termios.h (report by
Sergio NNX).

* add case to CF_SHARED_OPTS for Interix (patch by Markus Duft).
* used ncurses/link_test to check for behavior when the terminal has
not been initialized and when an application passes null pointers
to the library. Added checks to cover this (prompted by Redhat
#707344).
* modify MKlib_gen.sh to make its main() function call each function
with zero parameters, to help find inconsistent checking for null

* force the linker to see a link-time expression of a symbol, to
help work around weak-symbol issues.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110507
* update discussion of MKfallback.sh script in INSTALL; normally the
script is used automatically via the configured makefiles. However
there are still occasions when it might be used directly by packagers
(report by Gunter Schaffler).
* modify misc/ncurses-config.in to omit the "-L" option from the
"--libs" output if the library directory is /usr/lib.
* change order of tests for curses.h versus ncurses.h headers in the

(report by Joachim Schmitz).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110430
* modify rules in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to ensure that the PIC option
is not used when building a static library (report by Nicolas
Boulenguez):
* Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as sparc. This
undoes one of the fixes from 20110319, which added an "Unused" member
to representation clauses, replacing that with pragmas to suppress
warnings about unused bits (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez):
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110423
* add check in test/configure for use_window, use_screen.
* add configure-checks for getopt's variables, which may be declared
as different types on some Unix systems.

the checks for sigaction and/or termios fail, and if _POSIX_C_SOURCE
and _XOPEN_SOURCE are undefined (report by Valentin Ochs).
* update config.guess, config.sub
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20110409

packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for
the in-tree build of sample programs.
* corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in,
needed for rpm script.
* add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow
making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler
options if building a shared library with gnat.
* portability fixes for Ada95 binding

is listed first.
* modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file.
* modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is
distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
* modify configure script to add -g and/or -O3 to ADAFLAGS if the
CFLAGS for the build has these options.
* amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx

allowing TPARM_ARG to be overridden.
* suppress ncv in screen entry, allowing underline (patch by Alejandro R Sedeno).
* also suppress ncv in konsole-base -TD
* fixes in wins_nwstr() and related functions to ensure that special
characters, i.e., control characters are handled properly with the
wide-character configuration.
* correct a comparison in wins_nwstr() (Redhat #661506).

version which works with termcap.
* fix typo in rmso for tek4106 entry -Goran Weinholt
* repurpose "gnome" terminfo entries as "vte", retaining "gnome" items
for compatibility, but generally deprecating those since the VTE

since 2003 -TD
* correct parsing of relative tab-stops in tabs program (report by
Philip Ganchev).
* adjust configure script so that "t" is not added to library suffix
when weak-symbols are used, allowing the pthread configuration to
more closely match the non-thread naming (report by Werner Fink).
* modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks, to a
warning if not found. This makes it simpler to use additonal
scripts to bootstrap the fallbacks code using tic from the build

* fix an infinite recursion when adding a legacy-coding 8-bit value
using insch() (report by Clemens Ladisch).
* work around antique BSD game's manipulation of stdscr, etc., versus

* add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.

* add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
* document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted

window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr(). That
allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
window which is being used in a wgetch().
* simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
* modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
use SP internally.
* factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
* modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
screen which must be updated.

window parameters.
* add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
pointer.
* finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.

auch /lib/libncurses.so.1.9.9e verwenden. (g-Version einfach umbenennen
und ldconfig starten.) Dann sollte man aber keine Programme mehr
kompilieren...
