ncurses: update to 6.4.
The most important bug-fixes/improvements dealt with robustness
issues. The release notes also mention some other bug-fixes, but are
focused on new features and improvements to existing features since
ncurses 6.3 release.
Library improvements
New features
There are no new features in this release.
Other improvements
These are improvements to existing features:
* modify delscreen to more effectively delete all windows on the
given screen.
* modify wnoutrefresh to call pnoutrefresh if its parameter is a
pad, rather than treating it as an error, and modify new_panel to
permit its window-parameter to be a pad
* modify curses_trace() to show the trace-mask as symbols, e.g.,
TRACE_ORDINARY, DEBUG_LEVEL(3).
* improve checks for valid mouse events when an intermediate mouse
state is not part of the mousemask specified by the caller
* allow extended-color number in opts parameter of wattr_on.
* improve _tracecchar_t2 formatting of base+combining character.
* trim out some unwanted linker options from ncurses*config and .pc
files seen in Fedora 36+.
* improve shell-scripts with shellcheck
* improve use of "trap" in shell scripts, using a script.
* modify make-tar.sh scripts to make timestamps more predictable.
These are corrections to existing features:
* modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to allow for the case where the
library directory does not yet exist, since this is processed
before doing an install
* set trailing null on string passed from winsnstr to wins_nwstr.
* modify waddch_literal to allow for double-width base character
when merging a combining character
Program improvements
Several improvements were made to the utility programs:
infocmp
+ rewrite canonical_name function of infocmp to ensure buffer
size
+ improve readability of long parameterized expressions with
the infocmp "-f" option by allowing split before a "%p"
marker.
+ modify verbose-option of infocmp, tic, toe to enable
debug-tracing if that is configured.
tabs
limit tab-stop values to max-columns
tic
add consistency check in tic for u6/u7/u8/u9 and NQ
capabilities.
tput
corrected use of original tty-modes in init/reset subcommands
Examples
Along with the library and utilities, improvements were made to the
ncurses-examples. Most of this activity aimed at improving the
test-packages:
* add minimal -h (usage) and -V (version) getopt logic to all
ncurses-examples programs.
* fix an error in "@" command in test/ncurses.c F-menu
* add curses_trace to ifdef's for START_TRACE in test/test.priv.h
* improve pthread-configuration for test/worm.c
* add setlocale call to several test-programs.
* workaround in test/picsmap.c for use of floating point for rgb
values by ImageMagick 6.9.11, which appears to use the wrong upper
limit.
* use static libraries for AdaCurses test-package for Mageia, since
no gprbuild package is available.
* install Ada95 sample programs in libexecdir, adding a wrapper
script to invoke those.
* install ncurses-examples programs in libexecdir, adding a wrapper
script to invoke those.
There are other new demo/test programs and reusable examples:
test/combine
demonstrate combining characters
test/test_delwin
demonstrate deleting a window
test/test_mouse
observe mouse events in the raw terminal or parsed ncurses
modes
test/test_unget_wch
demonstrate the unget_wch and unget functions
Terminal database
There are several new terminal descriptions:
* mosh
* mosh-256color
* teken-16color
* teken-sc
* teken-vt
* xgterm
There are many changes to existing terminal descriptions. Some were
updates to several descriptions:
* make description-fields distinct
* fix errata in description fields
* add/use several building-blocks:
+ aixterm+sl
+ ansi+cpr
+ apollo+vt132
+ decid+cpr
+ ncr260vp+sl
+ wyse+sl
+ x10term+sl
+ xterm+acs
+ xterm+alt47
while others affected specific descriptions. These were retested, to
take into account changes by their developers:
* kitty
* teken
while these are specific fixes based on reviewing documentation, user
reports, or warnings from tic:
att610+cvis0
amended note as per documentation for att610, att620, att730
kon, kon2, jfbterm
revise to undo "linux2.6" change to smacs/rmacs/enacs
st-0.6
add dim, ecma+strikeout
foot+base
add xterm+sl-alt
dec+sl
correct dsl in dec+sl
mintty and tmux
correct setal in mintty/tmux entries, add to vte-2018
nsterm
modify nsterm to use xterm+alt1049
putty
modify putty to use xterm+alt1049
vte-2018
add blink and setal
A few entries use extensions (user-defined terminal capabilities):
* use ansi+enq and decid+cpr in cases where the terminal probably
supported the u6-u9 extension
* remove u6-u9 from teken-2018
* use NQ to flag entries where the terminal does not support query
and response
* add/use bracketed+paste to help identify terminals supporting this
xterm feature
* modify samples for xterm mouse 1002/1003 modes to use 1006 mode,
and also provide for focus in/out responses
* xterm patch #371 supports DEC-compatible status-line. add dec+sl
to xterm-new, per xterm #371, add xterm-p371, add xterm-p370, for
use in older terminals, and set "xterm-new" to "xterm-p370" (to
ease adoption).
Documentation
As usual, this release
* improves documentation by describing new features,
* attempts to improve the description of features which users have
found confusing
* fills in overlooked descriptions of features which were described
in the NEWS file but treated sketchily in manual pages.
In addition to providing background information to explain these
features and show how they evolved, there are corrections,
clarifications, etc.:
* Corrections:
+ remove a stray '/' from description of %g in terminfo(5).
+ correct/improve font-formatting in curs_getch.3x, as well as
other manual pages.
* New/improved history and portability sections:
+ add portability notes for delscreen and delwin in manual.
+ improve curs_slk.3x discussion of extensions and portability
* Other improvements:
+ improve curs_bkgd.3x, explaining that bkgdset can affect
results for bkgd
+ add note on portable memory-leak checking in curs_memleaks.3x
+ expanded description in resizeterm.3x
+ add section on releasing memory to curs_termcap.3x and
curs_terminfo.3x manpages.
+ add clarification of the scope of dynamic variables in
terminfo(5).
+ improve formatting of ncurses-intro.html and hackguide.html
+ improve curs_clear.3x links to other pages
+ update ncurses-howto, making documentation fixes along with
corrections to example programs.
+ use newer version 1.36 of gnathtml for generating Ada html
files.
+ update external links in Ada95.html
There are no new manual pages (all of the manual page updates are to
existing pages).
Interesting bug-fixes
While there were many bugs fixed during development of ncurses 6.4,
only a few (the reason for this release) were both important and
interesting. Most of the bug-fixes were for local issues which did not
affect compatibility across releases. Since those are detailed in the
NEWS file no elaboration is needed here.
The interesting bugs were those dealing with memory leaks and buffer
overflows. Although the utilities are designed for text files (which
they do properly), some choose to test them with non-text files.
* Text files contain no embedded nulls. Also, they end with a
newline. Feeding tic non-text files exposed a few cases where the
program did not check for those issues. As a result, further
processing of the input found limit-checks whose assumptions were
invalid.
* Fixing the limit-checks (first) found a problem with tic managing
the list of strings in a terminal description. In merging two
terminal descriptions (i.e., the "use=" feature), tic was not
allocating a complete copy. A quick repair for that introduced a
memory leak.
* The checks for non-text files are improved (i.e., embedded nulls
in the input file will cause tic to reject it rather than
attempting to process it).
* The string allocations in tic are likewise improved.
Configuration changes
Major changes
There are no major changes. No new options were added. Several
improvements were made to configure checks.
Configuration options
There are a few new/modified configure options:
--with-abi-version
add ABI 7 defaults to configure script.
--with-caps
add warning in configure script if file specified for
"--with-caps" does not exist.
--with-manpage-format
bzip2 and xz compression are now supported
--with-xterm-kbs
add check/warning in configure script if option
"--with-xterm-kbs" is missing or inconsistent
Portability
Many of the portability changes are implemented via the configure
script:
* amend configure option's auto-search to account for systems where
none of the directories known to pkg-config exist
* corrected regex needed for older pkg-config used in Solaris 10
* improve handling of --with-pkg-config-libdir option, allowing for
the case where either $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR or the option value has a
colon-separated list of directories
* if the --with-pkg-config-libdir option is not given, use
${libdir}/pkgconfig as a default
* improve search-path check for pkg-config, e.g., for Debian testing
which installs pkg-config with architecture-prefixes.
* build-fix for cross-compiling to MingW, conditionally add -lssp
* improve configure check for getttynam
* fixes to build with dietlibc:
+ add configure check for fpathconf
+ add configure check for math sine/cosine, needed in
test/tclock, and eliminate pow() from test/hanoi
+ use wcsnlen as an alternative to wmemchr if it is not found
* modify configure macro CF_BUILD_CC to check if the build-compiler
works, rather than that it is different from the cross-compiler,
e.g., to accommodate a compiler which can be used for either
purpose with different flags
* modify configure/scripts to work around interference by GNU grep
3.8
Here are some of the other portability fixes:
* change man_db.renames to template, to handle ncurses*-config
script with the --extra-suffix configure option.
* update CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro, adding variants "gnueabi" and
"gnueabihf" to get _DEFAULT_SOURCE special case, as well as adding
GNU libc suffixes for "abi64", "abin32", "x32" to distinguish it
from other libc flavors.
* work around musl's nonstandard use of feature test macros by
adding a definition for NCURSES_WIDECHAR to the generated ".pc"
and *-config files.
* use "command -v" rather than "type" in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in to
fix a portability issue.

+ improve tic warning when oc/op do not mention SGR 39/49 for xterm
compatible XT flag.
+ revert change to lib_addch.c in waddch_literal() from 20210130, since
the followup fix in PutCharLR() actually corrects the problem while
this change causes too-early filling/wrapping (report by Johannes

+ add name for Fedora's pcre2 to configure check for "--with-pcre2"
option, from xterm #363 -TD

writing to the lower-right corner, rather than decrementing the
cursor column, in case it was a double-width character (cf: 20210130).
20210130
+ correct an off-by-one in comparison in waddch_literal() which caused
scrolling when a double-cell character would not fit at the lower
right corner of the screen (report by Benno Schulenberg).
+ split-out att610+cvis, vt220+cvis, vt220+cvis8 -TD

not part of X/Open Curses since 2007.
+ use "const" in some prototypes rather than NCURSES_CONST where X/Open
Curses was updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, the terminfo
interface. Also use "const" for consistency in the termcap
interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007).

+ modify TurnOn/TurnOff macros in lib_vidattr.c and lib_vid_attr.c to
avoid expansion of "CUR" in trace.
+ improve a few lintian warnings in test-packages.
+ modify lib_setup to avoid calling pthread_self() without first
verifying that the address is valid, i.e., for weak symbols
(report/patch by Werner Fink).
+ modify generated terminfo.5 to not use "expand" and related width
on the last column of tables, making layout on wide terminals look
better (adapted from patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
+ add a category to report_offsets, e.g., "w" for wide-character, "t"
for threads to make the report more readable. Reorganized the
structures reported to make the categories more apparent.
+ simplify some ifdef's for extended-colors.
+ add NCURSES_GLOBALS and NCURSES_PRESCREEN to report_offsets, to show
how similar the different tinfo configurations are.
20180224
+ modify _nc_resolve_uses2() to detect incompatible types when merging
a "use=" clause of extended capabilities. The problem was seen in a
defective terminfo integrated from simpleterm sources in 20171111,
compounded by repair in 20180121.
+ correct Ss/Ms interchange in st-0.7 entry (tmux #1264) -TD
+ fix remaining flash capabilities with trailing mandatory delays -TD
+ correct cut/paste in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
20180217
+ remove incorrect free() from 20170617 changes (report by David Macek).
+ correct type for "U8" in user_caps.5; it is a number not boolean.
+ add a null-pointer check in safe_sprintf.c (report by Steven Noonan).
+ improve fix for Debian #882620 by reusing limit2 variable (report by
Julien Cristau, Sven Joachim).
20180210
+ modify misc/Makefile.in to install/uninstall explicit list in case
the build-directory happens to have no ".pc" files when an uninstall
is performed (report by Jeffrey Walton).
+ deprecate safe-sprintf, since the vsnprintf function, which does what
was needed, was standardized long ago.
+ add several development/experimental options to development packages.
+ minor reordering of options in configure script to make the threaded
and reentrant options distinct from the other extensions which are
normally enabled.
20180203
+ minor fixes to test/*.h to make them idempotent.
+ add/use test/parse_rgb.h to show how the "RGB" capability works.

Update to 6.0:
This release is designed to be source-compatible with ncurses 5.0
through 5.9; providing a new application binary interface (ABI).
Although the source can still be configured to support the ncurses 5
ABI, the intent of the release is to provide extensions which are
generally useful, but binary-incompatible with ncurses 5:
* Extend the cchar_t structure to allow more than 16 colors to be
encoded.
* Modify the encoding of mouse state to make room for a 5th mouse
button. That allows one to use ncurses with a wheel mouse with
xterm or similar X terminal emulators.
There are, of course, numerous other improvements, including
* fixes made based on the Clang and Coverity static analyzers.
* memory leak fixes using Valgrind
The release notes mention some bug-fixes, but are focused on new
features and improvements to existing features log since ncurses 5.9
release.
While the intent of the release is to provide a new stable ABI, there
are other development activities which are summarized below.
* The original release plan, e.g., for "5.10" was to improve the
MinGW port. Ultimately that was completed (wide-character support,
mouse, etc), but was deferred to focus on termcap support and
performance issues. Also, pinpointing the problems with Console2
took a while.
* A review of termcap compatibility in 2011 led to several minor
fixes in the library and improvements to utilities. To do this
properly, a review of the various extent termcap implementations
was needed.
The [11]termcap library checker (tctest) (not part of ncurses) was
one result. A followup review of performance using
[12]ncurses-examples in 2014 led to additional improvements.
* Output buffering provided a further, but worthwhile distraction. A
bug report in 2012 regarding the use of signal handlers in
ncurses) pointed out [13]a problem with the use of unsafe
functions for handling SIGTSTP. Other signals could be addressed
with workarounds; repairing SIGTSTP required a different approach.
The solution required changing internal behavior of the library:
how it handles output buffering.
Now ncurses buffers its own output, independently of the standard
output. A few applications relied upon the library's direct reuse
of the standard output buffering; however that is unspecified
behavior and has never been a recommended practice. Identifying
these applications as well as refining the change to permit
low-level applications to work consistently took time.
* Since the introduction of the experimental support for 256 colors
early in [14]2005 (released in [15]ncurses 5.5), there has been
increased user interest. Almost all packagers continue providing
the ncurses ABI 5 which cannot support 256 colors.
* Symbol versioning, or the lack of it in ncurses, is the main
reason why packagers would be reluctant to add a new ncurses ABI.
This release provides the new ABI along with script-generated
lists of versioned symbols which can be used for both ABI 5 and 6
(with distinct names to keep the two separate). This took time to
development, as reported in [16]Symbol versioning in ncurses.
Library improvements
Output buffering
X/Open curses provides more than one initialization function:
* [17]initscr (the simplest) accepts no parameters.
* [18]newterm accepts parameters for the stream input and output
* [19]setupterm (the low-level function) accepts a parameter for the
file descriptor of the output.
They are documented in X/Open as if initscr calls newterm using stdout
for output stream, and in turn newterm calls setupterm using
fileno(stdout) for the file descriptor. As long as an implementation
acts as if it does this, it conforms. In practice, implementations do
what is implied. This creates a problem: the low-level setupterm
function's file descriptor is unbuffered, while newterm implies
buffered output. X/Open Curses says that all output is done through
the file descriptor, and does not say how the output stream is
actually used.
Initially, ncurses used the file descriptor (obtained from the output
stream passed to newterm) for changing the terminal modes, and relied
upon the output parameter of newterm for buffered output. Later (to
avoid using unsafe buffered I/O in signal handlers), ncurses was
modified to use the file descriptor (unbuffered output) when cleaning
up on receipt of a signal. Otherwise (when not handling a signal), it
continued to use the buffered output.
That approach worked reasonably well and as a side effect, using the
same buffered output as an application might use for printf meant that
no flushing was needed when switching between normal- and
screen-modes.
There were a couple of problems:
* to get good performance, curses (not only ncurses, but SVr4 curses
in general) set an output buffer using setbuf or similar function.
There is no standard (or portable) way to turn that output buffer
off, and revert to line-buffering. The [20]NCURSES_NO_SETBUF
environment variable did make it optional.
* to handle SIGTSTP (the "stop" signal), ncurses relied upon unsafe
functions. That is, due to the complexity of the feature, it
relied upon reusing existing functions which should not have been
called via the signal handler.
Conveniently, solving the second problem (by making ncurses do its own
output buffering) also fixed the first one. But there were special
cases to resolve: [21]low-level functions such as mvcur, putp, vidattr
explicitly use the standard output. Those functions were reused
internally, and required modification to distinguish whether they were
used by the high-level or low-level interfaces.
Finally, there may still be a few programs which should be modified to
improve their portability, e.g., adding an
fflush(stdout);
when switching from "[22]shell" mode to "[23]program" (curses) mode.
Those are fairly rare because most programmers have learned not to mix
printf and [24]printw.
Symbol versioning
This release introduces symbol-versioning to ncurses because without
it, the change of ABI would be less successful. A lengthy discussion
will be presented in [25]Symbol versioning in ncurses. These notes
summarize what has changed, and what can be done with the new release.
Symbol-versioning allows the developers of a library to mark each
public symbol (both data and functions) with an identifier denoting
the library name and the version for which it was built. By doing
this, users of the library have a way to help ensure that applications
do not accidentally load an incompatible library. In addition, private
symbols can be hidden entirely.
This release provides sample files for the four principal
configurations of ncurses libraries: ncurses, ncursesw, ncursest and
ncursestw. Each sample is given in two forms:
".map"
These list all public symbols, together with version names.
".sym"
These list all public symbols, without version names.
The sample files are generated by scripts which take into account a
few special cases such as [26]tack to omit many of the ncurses private
symbols (beginning with "_nc_"). Here are counts of globals versus
locals:
Config Symbols Globals Locals "_nc_"
ncurses 976 796 180 332
ncursesw 1089 905 184 343
ncursest 979 804 175 358
ncursestw 1098 914 184 372
Although only four sample configurations are presented, each is formed
by merging symbols from several combinations of configure-script
options, taking into account advice from downstream packagers. Because
they are formed by merging, the sample files may list a symbol which
is not in a given package. That is expected. The samples have been
tested and are working with systems (such as Fedora, FreeBSD and
Debian) which fully support this feature. There are other systems
which do not support the feature, and a few (such as Solaris) which
provide incomplete support.
The version-naming convention used allows these sample files to build
distinct libraries for ABI 5 and 6. Version names consist of
* configuration name, e.g., "NCURSESW" for the wide-character
libraries
* ABI version (if not 5)
* library name for two special cases which have the same interface
across configurations: "TINFO" and "TIC"
* release version
* patch date (for the release version)
For example, running nm -D on the libraries in the ncurses6 test
package shows these symbol-versions:
0000000000000000 A NCURSES6_TIC_5.0.19991023

As a special case, this release (which makes the final change for ABI
5) is marked with release version 5.9 and patch date 20150530.
Miscellaneous
The new release has several improvements for performance and building.
For instance:
* several files in ncurses- and progs-directories were modified to
allow const data used in internal tables to be put by the linker
into the readonly text segment.
* various improvements were made to building the Ada95 binding, both
in simplifying the generated files as well as improving the way it
uses gnatmake
There are also new features in the libraries:
* added [27]use_tioctl function
* added [28]wgetdelay to retrieve _delay member of WINDOW if it
happens to be opaque, e.g., in the pthread configuration.
* added [29]A_ITALIC extension.
* added form library extension [30]O_DYNAMIC_JUSTIFY option which
can be used to override the different treatment of justification
for static versus dynamic fields .
* rewrote [31]putwin and [32]getwin, making an extended version
which is capable of reading screen-dumps between the wide/normal
ncurses configurations. These are text files, except for a magic
code at the beginning:
0 string \210\210 Screen-dump (ncurses)
* several changes to mouse support include:
+ added decoder for xterm SGR 1006 mouse mode.
+ added experimental support for "%u" format to terminfo.
+ improved behavior of wheel-mice for xterm protocol: noting
that there are only button-presses for buttons "4" and "5",
so there is no need to wait to combine events into
double-clicks .
There are a few new configure options dealing with library
customization:
* add "--enable-ext-putwin" configure option to turn on the extended
putwin/getwin. By default, this is enabled for ABI 6 and disabled
with ABI 5.
* add "--enable-string-hacks" option to control whether strlcat and
strlcpy may be used. Because ncurses already does the requisite
buffer-limit checks, this feature is mainly of interest to quiet
compiler-warnings on a few systems.
* add configure option "--with-tparm-arg" to allow [33]tparm's
parameters to be something more likely to be the same size as a
pointer, e.g., intptr_t (again, the default is set for ABI 6).
Program improvements
Utilities
Most of the termcap-related changes based on development of [34]tctest
(termcap library checker) are implemented in the tic and infocmp
programs rather than affecting the library. As noted in the
[35]discussion of tctest, ncurses's ability to translate between
terminfo and termcap formats has been improved at different times, but
subject to feedback from "real" termcap users. There are very few of
those. Nowadays, virtually all termcap users are using ncurses (or
NetBSD, with its own terminfo library) and their programs are actually
using terminfo rather than termcap data.
Still, there are a few. A comment about the translation of the ASCII
NUL character prompted a review:
* Both terminfo and termcap store string capabilities as
NUL-terminated strings.
* In terminfo, a \0 in a terminal description is stored as \200.
* There are no (known) terminals which would behave differently when
sent \0 or \200.
* When translating to terminfo format (or displaying a printable
version of an entry using infocmp), ncurses shows \200 as \0.
* It has done this since 1998 (quoting from the NEWS file):
[36]980103
...
+ modify _nc_tic_expand() to generate \0 rather than \200.
...
+ correct translation of terminfo "^@", to \200, like \0.
* However, the _nc_tic_expand function (which optionally produces
terminfo or termcap format) did not address this special case for
termcap. Even the later 4.4BSD [37]cgetstr interprets a \0
literally, ending that string (rather than using the terminfo
improvement).
As a result of the review, several improvements were made to ncurses
translation to/from termcap format -- and improving the checks made in
tic for consistency of entries. Most of these are not of general
interest, except for two new command-line options for tic and infocmp:
* the "-0" option generates termcap/terminfo source on a single
line.
* the "-K" option provides stricter BSD-compatibility for termcap
output.
Other user-visible improvements and new features include:
* added "-D" option to tic and infocmp, to show the database
locations that it could use.
* added "-s" option to toe, to sort its output.
* extended "-c" and "-n" options of infocmp to allow comparing more
than two entries.
* modified toe's report when "-a" and "-s" options are combined, to
add a column showing which entries belong to a given database.
* modified the clear program to take into account the "E3" extended
capability to clear the terminal's scrollback buffer.
Examples
Along with the library and utilities, many improvements were made to
the [38]ncurses-examples. Some were made to allow building (and
comparison-testing) against NetBSD curses and PDCurses. Both lack some
of the X/Open Curses features, necessitating customization. But this
activity was useful because it showed some remaining performance
issues (which have been resolved in this release).
These changes were made to verify compatibility or compare performance
of ncurses:
* made workarounds for compiling test-programs with NetBSD curses,
though it lacks some common functions such as [39]use_env.
* added dots_termcap test-program
* added dots_curses test-program, for comparison with the low-level
examples.
* added test_setupterm test-proram to demonstrate normal/error
returns from the setupterm and restartterm functions.
* added "-d", "-e" and "-q" options to the demo_terminfo and
demo_termcap test-programs.
* added "-y" option to demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo
test-programs to demonstrate behavior with/without extended
capabilities.
* modified demo_termcap and demo_terminfo test-programs to make
their options more directly comparable, and add "-i" option to
specify a terminal description filename to parse for names to
lookup.
* rewrote the tests for [40]mvderwin and test for recursive
[41]mvwin in the movewindow test-program.
These changes were made to help with the MinGW port:
* added test-screens to the ncurses test-program to show
256-characters at a time, to help with MinGW port.
* modified the view test-program to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW
by using regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen and
mbtowc do not work.
* added "-s" option to the view test-program to allow it to start in
single-step mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for
debugging MinGW changes.
These changes were made to verify new extensions in ncurses:
* added [42]form_driver_w entrypoint to wide-character forms
library, as well as form_driver_w test-program.
* modified ncurses test-program's b/B tests to display lines only
for the attributes which a given terminal supports, to make room
for an italics test.
* modified ncurses test-program, adding "-E" and "-T" options to
demonstrate use_env versus use_tioctl.
* modified ncurses test-program's c/C tests to cycle through subsets
of the total number of colors, to better illustrate
8/16/88/256-colors by providing directly comparable screens.
* modified the ncurses test-program to also show position reports in
'a' test.
These changes were made to make the examples more useful:
* added scripts for building dpkg and rpm test-packages
* modified the hanoi test-program to show the minimum number of
moves possible for the given number of tiles.
* modified the knight test-program to show the number of choices
possible for each position in automove option, e.g., to allow user
to follow Warnsdorff's rule to solve the puzzle.
Terminal database
This release provides improvements to tic's "-c" checking option,
which was used for example to
* make sgr in several entries agree with other caps.
* correct padding in some entries where earlier versions had
miscounted the number of octal digits.
There are several new terminal descriptions:
* [43]mlterm is now aliased to mlterm3
* [44]nsterm is now derived from nsterm-256color
* [45]putty-sco
* [46]teken is FreeBSD's "xterm" console.
* [47]terminator
* [48]terminology
* [49]tmux is derived from screen.
* several screen.XXX entries support the respective variations for
256 colors.
* [50]simpleterm is now 0.5
* [51]vte is aliased to vte-2012
* [52]vt520ansi
A few entries use extensions (user-defined terminal capabilities):
* E3, used in linux, putty and xterm-basic is tested in the
[53]clear program to erase a terminal's scrollback.
* TS is used in the [54]xterm+sl building block to help deprecate
the misuse of tsl for xterm's title-string.
* XT is used in some terminfo entries to improve usefulness for
other applications than screen, which would like to pretend that
xterm's title is a status-line.
* xm is used in examples [55]xterm-1005 and [56]xterm-1006 to
illustrate a way to make mouse handling more general
A few terminals support italics and/or dim capabilities. In
particular, screen does not. Documented that, and accommodated the
terminals where this feature works with the A_ITALIC extension.
* konsole, mlterm3 (italics)
* nsterm (dim)
* screen (dim)
* vte (dim, italics)
* xterm (dim, italics)
Documentation
As usual, this release
* improves documentation by describing new features,
* attempts to improve the description of features which users have
found confusing
* fills in overlooked descriptions of features which were described
in the [57]NEWS file but treated sketchily in manual pages.
In addition, the mechanism for producing HTML versions of the
documentation has been improved:
* use an improved version of [58]man2html to generate html manpages.
* regenerated [59]NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the
broken html emitted by docbook.
Interesting bug-fixes
* Ada95 binding:
+ modify makefile rules to ensure that the PIC option is not
used when building a static library
+ make Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as
sparc. This undoes one of the fixes from [60]20110319, which
added an "Unused" member to representation clauses, replacing
that with pragmas to suppress warnings about unused bits.
* Color and attributes:
+ parenthesize parameter of COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER in
curses.h in case it happens to be a comma-expression.
+ improve [61]20021221 workaround for broken acs, handling a
case where that ACS_xxx character is not in the acsc string
but there is a known wide-character which can be used.
+ modify [62]init_pair to accept -1's for color value after
[63]assume_default_colors has been called.
+ add a check in [64]start_color to limit color-pairs to 256
when extended colors are not supported.
* Resizing the screen:
+ propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
increase_size and decrease_size functions through
[65]resize_term.
+ add check for zero/negative dimensions for resizeterm and
resize_term.
+ modify resizeterm to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo,
even if screensize is unchanged. Modify library to push a
KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
resizeterm). These changes eliminate the case where a
SIGWINCH is received, but ERR is returned from wgetch or
wgetnstr because the screen dimensions did not change.
* Low-level interfaces
+ fix an old bug in the termcap emulation; "%i" was ignored in
tparm because the parameters to be incremented were already
on the internal stack.
+ change "%l" behavior in tparm to push the string length onto
the stack rather than saving the formatted length into the
output buffer.
+ modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate
legacy applications as well as to improve compatbility with
BSD 4.2 termcap implementations (see note for [66]980725).
* High-level interfaces
+ modify internal recursion in wgetch which handles cooked mode
to check if the call to wgetnstr returned an error. This can
happen when both nocbreak and nodelay are set, for instance
(see note for [67]960418).
+ add a check in internal function waddch_nosync to ensure that
tab characters are treated as control characters; some broken
locales claim they are printable.
+ modify menu library to ensure that a menu's top-row is
adjusted as needed to ensure that the current item is on the
screen
+ fix special case where double-width character overwrites a
single- width character in the first column.
Configuration changes
Major changes
The ncurses 6.0 configure script makes changes to the default value of
several configure options, depending on the --with-abi-version option
(i.e., whether its value is "5" or "6"):
--enable-const
Feature introduced in [68]970405 supports the use of const
where X/Open Curses should have, but did not. NetBSD curses
does something similar with const.
--enable-ext-colors
Extends the cchar_t structure to allow more than 16 colors to
be encoded. This applies only to the wide-character
(--enable-widec) configuration.
--enable-ext-mouse
Modifies the encoding of mouse state to make room for a 5th
mouse button. That allows one to use ncurses with a wheel mouse
with xterm or similar X terminal emulators.
--enable-ext-putwin
Modifies the file-format written by putwin to use printable
text rather than binary files, allowing getwin to read screen
dumps written by differently-configured ncurses libraries. The
extended getwin can still read binary screen dumps from the
same configuration of ncurses. This does not change the ABI
(the binary interface seen by calling applications).
--enable-interop
Modifies the FIELDTYPE structure used for the form library to
make it more generic.
--enable-lp64
Allows an application to define _LP64 to declare chtype and
mmask_t as simply "unsigned" rather than the configured types
using the --with-chtype and --with-mmask_t options.
--enable-sp-funcs
Compile-in support for extended functions which accept a SCREEN
pointer, reducing the need for juggling the global SP value
with [69]set_term and [70]delscreen.
--with-chtype=uint32_t
Makes chtype explicitly a 32-bit unsigned value.
--with-mmask_t=uint32_t
Makes mmask_t explicitly a 32-bit unsigned value.
--with-tparm-arg=intptr_t
X/Open Curses declares [71]tparm using long for each of the
parameters aside from the formatting string, presuming that
long and char* are the same size. This configure option uses
intptr_t which provides a better guarantee of the sizes.
The configure script no longer checks for antique compilers; c89 is
assumed as a minimum. There are a few features from later revisions
which are used when available. The configure script makes checks to
turn on useful warnings from clang, gcc and icc. You should be able to
build ncurses 6.0 with any of the current (or not so current) C
compilers available in 2015.
The configure script, by the way, makes changes which do not work with
systems whose /bin/sh is non-POSIX. This mainly affects Solaris (the
other vendor unix systems have followed the POSIX guidelines for the
past twenty years). If you must build on Solaris, its [72]xpg4
binaries suffice, e.g.,
#!/bin/sh
WHAT=`hostname|sed -e 's/\..*//'`
OUT=configure.out
cat >>$OUT <<EOF/
** `date`
** node: $WHAT
** user: `id`
** conf: $*
EOF/
SHELL=/bin/sh
if test -f /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
then
CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh
export CONFIG_SHELL
SHELL=$CONFIG_SHELL
fi
rm -f config.status config.cache
TOP=$HOME/$WHAT
$SHELL ./configure --verbose \
--disable-echo \
--disable-overwrite \
--enable-warnings \
--with-warnings \
--prefix=$TOP $* 2>&1 | tee -a $OUT
Other major changes to the configure script include:
* ABI 6 is now the default, intending that the existing ABI 5 should
build as before using the "--with-abi-version=5" option.
* added --with-extra-suffix option to help with installing
nonconflicting ncurses6 packages, e.g., avoiding header- and
library-conflicts.
NOTE: as a side-effect, this renames
adacurses-config to adacurses5-config and
adacursesw-config to adacursesw5-config
* the configure script looks for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding is
built, in preference to the default gcc/cc. The script also
ensures that the Ada95 binding is built with the level of
optimization as the C libraries.
* the configure script captures define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE
from the configure check and adds those to the *-config and *.pc
files, to simplify use for the wide-character libraries.

Update to 5.7:
New features and improvements:
* library
o new flavor of the ncurses library provides rudimentary
support for POSIX threads. 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).
o add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make
structs opaque in selected configurations.
o 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.
o add wresize to C++ binding
o eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf calls in C++ binding.
o add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C
functions that pass a WINDOW* parameter.
o adapt mouse-handling code from menu library in form-library
o improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
o make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface .
o add check to trace-file open, if the given name is a
directory, add ".log" to the name and try again.
o several new manpages: curs_legacy.3x, curs_memleaks.3x,
curs_opaque.3x and curs_threads.3x
* programs:
o modified three test-programs to demonstrate the threading
support in this version: ditto, rain, worm.
o 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.
o add adacurses-config to the Ada95 install.
o modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent
them from being lost when that is read back in unformatted
strings.
o The tack program is now distributed separately from
ncurses.
* terminal database
o added entries:
+ Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color
+ aterm
+ konsole-256color
+ mrxvt
+ screen.mlterm
+ screen.rxvt
+ teraterm4.59 is now the primary primary teraterm
entry, renamed original to teraterm2.3
+ 9term terminal
+ Newbury Data entries
o updated/improved entries:
+ gnome to version 2.22.3
+ h19, z100
+ konsole to version 1.6.6
+ mlterm, mlterm+pcfkeys
+ xterm, and building-blocks for function-keys to
xterm patch #230.
Major bug fixes:
* 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.
Portability:
* configure script:
o new options:
--disable-big-strings
control whether static string tables are generated
as single large strings (to improve startup
performance), or as array of individual strings.
--disable-relink
control whether shared libraries are relinked
(during install) when rpath is enabled.
--disable-tic-depends
make explicit whether tic library depends on
ncurses/ncursesw library.
--enable-mixed-case
override the configure script's check if the
filesystem supports mixed-case filenames. This
allows one to control how the terminal database
maps to the filesystem. For filesystems that do
not support mixed-case, the library uses generate
2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level
of the filesystem terminfo database
--enable-reentrant
builds a different flavor of the ncurses library
(ncursest) which improves reentrant use of the
library by reducing global and static variables
(see the "--with-pthread" option for the threaded
support).
--enable-weak-symbols
use weak-symbols for linking to the POSIX thread
library, and use the same soname for the ncurses
shared library as the normal library (caveat: the
ABI is for the threaded library, which makes global
data accessed via functions).
--with-pthread
build with the POSIX thread library (tested with
AIX, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, HPUX, IRIX64,
Solaris, Tru64).
--with-ticlib
build/install the tic-support functions in a separate
library
o improved options:
--enable-ext-colors
requires the wide-character configuration.
--with-chtype
ignore option value "unsigned" is always added to
the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
--with-dmalloc
build-fix for redefinition of strndup.
--with-hashed-db
+ accepts a parameter which is the install-prefix
of a given Berkeley Database.
+ the $LIBS environment variable overrides the
search for the db library.
--without-hashed-db
assumed when "--disable-database" is used.
* other configure/build issues:
o build-fixes for LynxOS
o modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
o build-fix for FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface.
o build-fixes for AIX with libtool.
o build-fixes for Darwin and libtool.
o modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku.
o corrected gcc options for building shared libraries on
Solaris and IRIX64.
o change shared-library configuration for OpenBSD, make rpath work.
o build-fixes for using libutf8, e.g., on OpenBSD 3.7
o add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating
source-files to force earlier exit if the build environment
fails unexpectedly.
o add support for shared libraries for QNX.
o change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to
avoid substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its
extensions to digraphs.
* library:
o rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb, making it work on Solaris.
This is used in the form library to determine the length
of the buffer needed by field_buffer.
o add/use configure script macro CF_SIG_ATOMIC_T, use
the corresponding type for data manipulated by signal
handlers.
o set locale in misc/ncurses-config.in since it uses a
range
o disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen
to contain "linux", since Gpm_Open no longer limits its
assertion to terminals that it might handle, e.g., within
"screen" in xterm.
o reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library.
* test programs:
o update test programs to build/work with various UNIX
curses for comparisons.

Update to 5.5. Solaris PLIST should be checked for correctness.
This release is designed to be upward compatible from ncurses 5.0
through 5.4; very few applications will require recompilation,
depending on the platform. These are the highlights from the
change-log since ncurses 5.4 release.
Interface changes:
* terminfo installs "xterm-new" as "xterm" entry rather than
"xterm-old" (aka xterm-r6).
* terminfo data is installed using the tic -x option (few systems
still use ncurses 4.2).
* modify C++ binding to work with newer C++ compilers by providing
initializers and using modern casts. Old-style header names are
still used in this release to allow compiling with not-so-old
compilers.
* modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is
chtype).
* change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function.
* form and menu libraries now work with wide-character data.
Applications which bypassed the form library and manipulated the
FIELD.buf data directly will not work properly with libformw,
since that no longer points to an array of char. The
set_field_buffer() and field_buffer() functions translate to/from
the actual field data.
* 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>
* change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure
that libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI. The reason
for this is that the corresponding data which belongs to the
upper-level ncurses library has a different size in each model.
* winnstr() now returns multibyte character strings for the
wide-character configuration.
* assume_default_colors() no longer requires that
use_default_colors() be called first.
* data_ahead() now works with wide-characters.
* slk_set() and slk_wset() now accept and store multibyte or
multicolumn characters.
* start_color() now returns OK if colors have already been started.
start_color() also returns ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
* pair_content() now returns -1 for consistency with init_pair() if
it corresponds to the default-color.
* unctrl() now returns null if its parameter does not correspond to
an unsigned char.
New features and improvements:
* library
+ environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS supports
miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate
character set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
+ modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an
extended capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name
begins with 'k', ncurses will automatically treat it as a
key.
+ change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it
dynamically at runtime.
+ form, menu and panel libraries support debug-tracing.
* add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala (see
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
* programs:
* infocmp:
+ The -i option now matches 8-bit controls against its table
entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
+ 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.
* tic:
+ modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the
beginning of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
+ filter out long extended names when translating to termcap
format. Only two characters are permissible for termcap
capability names.
+ correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap,
e.g., using "tic -C".
+ modify the "-c -v" options 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.
+ add a check for improperly ended strings, i.e., where a
following line begins in column 1.
+ 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.
+ add check (with debug configuration) that provides about the
runtime changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap
applications.
* tset:
+ add -c and -w options to allow user to suppress ncurses'
resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case
where it is not able to detect the true size.
Major bug fixes:
* improve logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new. This is a feature
that was incompletely implemented in ncurses 5.3. ncurses attempts
to provide termcap clients with the portion of the sgr0 (termcap
"me") string that does not reset line-drawing.
* cells in the WINDOW which are continuations of a multicolumn
character are encoded differently, making repainting more
reliable.
* amend change to setupterm() in ncurses 5.4 (20030405) which would
reuse the value of cur_term if the same output was selected. This
now reuses it only when setupterm() is called from tgetent(),
which has no notion of separate SCREENs. Note that tgetent() must
be called after initscr() or newterm() to use this feature.
* make setcchar() now works when its wchar_t* parameter is pointing
to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
* win_wchnstr() now works for more than one cell.
* resizeterm() now processes all levels of window hierarchy.
* disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
"xterm". Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
mouse events in this case.
* 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.
Portability:
* configure script:
+ new options:
--enable-largefile
set compiler and linker flags to use largefile
support.
--enable-ext-colors
Allow encoding of 256 foreground and background
colors, e.g., with the xterm-256color or
xterm-88color terminfo entries. This requires ABI 6
because it changes the size of cchar_t.
--enable-ext-mouse
This defines NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies
the encoding of mouse events to support wheel mice,
which may transmit buttons 4 and 5. This works with
xterm and similar terminal emulators. This requires
ABI 6 because it changes the encoding of mouse
events.
--with-chtype
overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of chtype
--with-mmask-t
overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of mmask_t
--without-xterm-new
Installs "xterm-old" as the "xterm" entry of the
terminfo database.
+ The --with-termlib option now accepts 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
+ fixes/improvements for cross-compiling:
o suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when
cross-compiling. This allows cross-compiles to use the
host's tic program to handle the "make install.data"
step.
o correct BUILD_CPPFLAGS substitution in
ncurses/Makefile.in, to allow cross-compiling from a
separate directory tree.
* library:
+ add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful
64-bits for chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option
--disable-lp64 in case anyone used that configuration.
+ modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make
it compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
+ remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
that extend beyond the screen (Solaris does this).
+ check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available. This
replaces ad hoc tests of environment variables to check if
the terminal is setup for UTF-8 encoding. Applications which
do not call setlocale() should be corrected, to make them
work properly with UTF-8 encoding.
In particular, applications which assume (and do not call
setlocale()) that Latin-1 codes are printable will no longer
work in a UTF-8 locale since the ad hoc check of environment
variables to see if the locale was UTF-8 is not used when
nl_langinfo(CODESET) is available.
+ use setlocale() to query the program's current locale rather
than using getenv(). This supports applications which rely
upon legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale is
not initialized.

Update to 5.3:
Interface changes:
* change type for bool used in headers to NCURSES_BOOL, which usually is the same as the
compiler's definition for bool.
* add all but two functions for X/Open curses wide-character support. These are only
available if the library is configured using the --enable-widec option. Missing functions
are
* pecho_wchar()
* slk_wset()
* add environment variable $NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS to modify the assume_default_colors()
extension.
New features and improvements:
* Improved support for termcap applications:
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out when translating
to termcap.
* modify logic in lib_baudrate.c for ospeed, for FreeBSD to make it work properly for
termcap applications (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
* 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).
* 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.
Major bug fixes:
* 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.
* 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().
* 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.
* modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt the window structure,
and to make subwindows fit within the resized window.
* altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window cannot be resized because
it would be larger than its parent.
* 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.
* 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.
* add a check in relative_move() to guard against buffer overflow in the overwrite logic.
* add some limit/pointer checks to -S option of tputs.
* 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).
Portability:
* configure script:
* 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 who do not
read the INSTALL notes.
* correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it to the
experimental section (cf: 20011208).
* modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with fallbacks only.
In this case, we do not build tic and toe.
* 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.
* 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.
* add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling: --with-build-cc,
--with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and --with-build-libs.
* add experimental --with-caps=XXX option to customize to similar terminfo database
formats such as AIX 4.x
* add configure option --with-ospeed to assist packagers in transition to 5.3 change to
ospeed type.
* library:
* implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n conversion to help
parse the input data.
* various fixes to build/work with different implementations of vsscanf().
* add/use macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on platforms where this is a
problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris.
* finish changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
* add #undef's before possible redefinition of ERR and OK in curses.h
* programs:
* modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on platforms with no
hard links, e.g., BeOS.
* 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.
* 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".

Update ncurses to 5.0. From the release notes:
We decided to release ncurses as a new whole number release (5.0)
because it incorporates several interface changes, including some that
would invalidate existing shared libraries. These are the highlights
from the change-log since ncurses 4.2 release.
Interface changes:
* The principal source of changes to the interface comes from the
release of X/Open Curses in 1997. Earlier versions of ncurses (4.0
and before) were based on a draft version of the specification.
The release version adds parameters to some functions to support
the evolving internationalization of curses. These summarize the
impact:
+ modified several prototypes to correspond with 1997 version
of X/Open Curses (affects ABI since developers have used
attr_get).
+ corrected prototypes for slk_* functions, using chtype rather
than attr_t.
+ the slk_attr_{set,off,on} functions need an additional void*
parameter according to XSI.
+ 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.
+ 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.
+ reviewed/corrected macros in curses.h as per XSI document.
+ add set_a_attributes and set_pglen_inch to terminfo
structure, as per XSI and Solaris 2.5.
* The newest version of the X/Open Curses is implemented on Solaris
and other vendor's systems. It adds new features to the terminfo
descriptions:
+ implement tparm %l format.
+ implement tparm printf-style width and precision for %s, %d,
%x, %o as per XSI.
* We made additional changes to reduce impact by future interface
changes:
+ rename key_names[] array to _nc_key_names since it is not
part of the curses interface.
+ move macro winch to a function, to hide details of struct
ldat
* modify configure script to embed ABI in shared libraries for HP-UX
10.x (detailed request by Tim Mooney).
* 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).
New features:
* enable sigwinch handler by default.
* turn on hashmap scrolling code by default
* improved support for termcap applications
+ modify tput to accept termcap names as an alternative to
terminfo names.
+ provide support for termcap PC variable by copying it from
terminfo data and using it as the padding character in tputs.
+ 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.
+ change name-comparisons in lib_termcap to compare no more
than 2 characters.
+ add configure option --enable-tcap-names, which essentially
allows users to define new capabilities as in termcap.
* add mouse support to ncurses menus.
* add mouse and dll support for OS/2 EMX
* modify terminfo parsing to accept octal and hexadecimal constants
* 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.
* 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 -f option to infocmp and tic, which formats the terminfo
if/then/else/endif so that they are readable (with newlines and
tabs).
* modify tic to compile into %'char' form in preference to
%{number}, since that is a little more efficient.
Major bug fixes:
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* modify setupterm so that cancelled strings are treated the same as
absent strings, cancelled and absent booleans false (does not
affect tic, infocmp).
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
