- 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.

+ 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.

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).

(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.

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).

+ improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names.

Fri May 12 14:00:00 2017 wernerAATTsuse.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!)

Mon Apr 24 14:00:00 2017 wernerAATTsuse.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.

icl6402 and m2-nam -TD
+ restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc,
add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King).

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
+ drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and
_nc_resolve_uses

+ 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 14:00:00 2017 wernerAATTsuse.de

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(),

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 be redundant. In fact, they are needed for a compiler that
cannot combine -c and -o options.

X/Open Curses.
- Add ncurses patch 20160326

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).

that maps Unicode line-drawing characters into the acsc string for
non-Unicode locales (Debian #816888).
- Add ncurses patch 20160312
+ modified test/filter.c to illustrate an alternative to getnstr, that
polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well

rather than -rpath to work around a bug in scons (FreeBSD #178732,
cf: 20061021).

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.

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

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).

Tue Nov 10 13:00:00 2015 wernerAATTsuse.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

clang configuration on recent FreeBSD, which gives an error on an
empty \"local\" section.

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.

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

- 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

+ 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 14:00:00 2015 wernerAATTsuse.de

it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
Schindelin).

terminfo: adm21, aj510, alto-h19, att605-pc, x820 -TD
+ correct syntax for padding in some entries: dg211, h19 -TD
+ correct ti924-8 which had confused padding versus octal escapes -TD
+ correct padding in sbi entry -TD
+ 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 (report by Corinna Vinschen).
+ modify tic\'s \"-c\" option to take into account the \"-C\" option to
activate additional checks which compare the results from running
tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap
expressions.
+ modify tic to allow it to read from FIFOs (report by Matthieu Fronton,
cf: 20120324).
> patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
+ explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
+ when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
instead of <>.
+ samples/ncurses2-util.adb: removed unused with clause. The warning
was removed by an obsolete pragma.
+ replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off). The latter,
available with older GNATs, needs no configure test. This also
replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.
+ simplified To_C usage in trace handling. Using two parameters allows
some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
compiler flags.
+ for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure
package.
+ removed C_Chtype and its conversions.
+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.
+ removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set.
+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.
+ replaced C.int with direct use of Eti_Error, now enumerated. As it
was used in a case statement, values were tested by the Ada compiler
to be consecutive anyway.
+ src/Makefile.in: remove duplicate stanza
only consider using a project for shared libraries.

strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing
together initialization- or reset-strings. The problem dates to
1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for
gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman).

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.

- 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

of OS/2 EMX.
+ modify check for gnat version to allow for year, as used in FreeBSD
port.

* several improvements to test/movewindow.c (prompted by discussion on
Linux Mint forum):
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20120107

* various improvments for MinGW (Juergen Pfeifer):
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111231

a column showing which entries belong to a given database.

* add -s option to toe, to sort its output.

* modify progs/toe.c, simplifying use of db-iterator results to use
caching improvements from 20111001 and 20111126.

* correct generation of pc-files when ticlib or termlib options are
given to rename the corresponding tic- or tinfo-libraries (report
by Sven Joachim).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20111224

* document a portability issue with tput, i.e., that scripts which work
with ncurses may fail in other implementations that do no parameter
analysis.

* add putty-sco entry -TD
- 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 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.

Tue Dec 20 13:00:00 2011 cooloAATTsuse.com

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 13:00:00 2011 wernerAATTsuse.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).

Thu Nov 24 13:00:00 2011 wernerAATTsuse.de
- Avoid linker script libterminfo.so as bash configure can not
handle this

Thu Nov 24 13:00:00 2011 wernerAATTsuse.de
- Use linker scripts to amke sure that libtinfo will be found
even if -ltinfo is missed on the linker command line

Tue Nov 22 13:00:00 2011 wernerAATTsuse.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 13:00:00 2011 wernerAATTsuse.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 13:00:00 2011 wernerAATTsuse.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

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

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

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):

* 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

except those dealing with function pointers, etc.

* modify nc_tparm.h, adding guards against repeated inclusion, and
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).

* correct help-messages in some of the test-programs, which still
referred to quitting with \'q\'.

* add special case to _nc_infotocap() to recognize the setaf/setab
strings from xterm+256color and xterm+88color, and provide a reduced
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
library is what actually defines the behavior of \"gnome\", etc.,
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
tree (report by Werner Fink).

_nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
by Miroslav Lichvar)

* modify win_driver.c to initialize TERMINAL struct so that programs
such as test/lrtest.c and test/ncurses.c which test string
capabilities can run.
