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

* 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 2017 wernerAATTsuse.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

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

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 2017 wernerAATTsuse.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

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).

* Fri May 12 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!)- New package terminfo-screen which includes some useful but troubling terminfo database entries for screen.

* Mon Apr 24 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. + 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 + drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and _nc_resolve_uses + fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025). + 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.
