- Add ncurses patch 20130126
+ further fixes to mvcur to pass callback function (cf: 20130112),
needed to make test/dots_mvcur work.
+ reduce calls to SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer in win_driver.c, to
help reduce flicker.
+ modify configure script to omit "+b" from linker options for very
old HP-UX systems (report by Dennis Grevenstein)
+ add HP-UX workaround for missing EILSEQ on old HP-UX systems (patch
by Dennis Grevenstein).
+ restore memmove/strdup support for antique systems (request by
Dennis Grevenstein).
+ change %l behavior in tparm to push the string length onto the stack
rather than saving the formatted length into the output buffer
(report by Roy Marples, cf: 980620).
- Add ncurses patch 20130202
+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
+ improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.
- Add ncurses patch 20130209
+ modify test/configure script to make it simpler to override names
of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in
mingw environment.
+ if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
no corresponding compiled-in value for that. Fill in "no default
value" for that part of the manpage substitution.
- Add ncurses patch 20130216
+ modify test/testcurs.c to work with mouse for ncurses as it does for
pdcurses.
+ modify test/knight.c to work with mouse for pdcurses as it does for
ncurses.

Versions of Ncurses Libraries
=============================
There are several Ncurses Libraries which can be used for building
with an terminal based application. The standard Ncurses Libraries
is given with ABI 5.6
/usr/include/ncurses/*.h
/usr/lib/libncurses.so or /usr/lib64/libncurses.so
/usr/lib/libform.so or /usr/lib64/libform.so
/usr/lib/libmenu.so or /usr/lib64/libmenu.so
/usr/lib/libpanel.so or /usr/lib64/libpanel.so
and its header are installed in /usr/include/ncurses/ e.g.
ncurses.h. For backward compatibility with simply older
programs the headers curses.h, ncurses.h, and term.h
will be also found in /usr/include/. Use the output of
ncurses5-config --cflags for CFLAGS
ncurses5-config --libs for LDFLAGS
to extend the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS.
For a version with wide character support please use the
libraries with old ABI 5.6
/usr/include/ncursesw/*.h
/usr/lib/libncursesw.so or /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so
/usr/lib/libformw.so or /usr/lib64/libformw.so
/usr/lib/libmenuw.so or /usr/lib64/libmenuw.so
/usr/lib/libpanelw.so or /usr/lib64/libpanelw.so
Use the output of
ncursesw5-config --cflags for CFLAGS
ncursesw5-config --libs for LDFLAGS
to extend the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS.
For a thread safe version (also known as `reentrant') please
use the libraries with ABI 6.0
/usr/include/ncurses6/ncurses/*.h
/usr/lib/ncurses6/libncurses.so or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libncurses.so
/usr/lib/ncurses6/libform.so or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libform.so
/usr/lib/ncurses6/libmenu.so or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libmenu.so
/usr/lib/ncurses6/libpanel.so or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libpanel.so
together with the header files found at /usr/include/ncurses6/ncurses/
e.g. ncurses.h. For backward compatibility with simply older programs
the headers curses.h, ncurses.h, and term.h will be also found in
/usr/include/ncurses6/. Use the output of
ncurses6-config --cflags for CFLAGS
ncurses6-config --libs for LDFLAGS
to extend the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS.
For a version with both wide character support and thread safe
please use the libraries with ABI 6.0
/usr/include/ncurses6/ncursesw/*.h
/usr/lib/ncurses6/libncursesw.so or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libncursesw.so
/usr/lib/ncurses6/libformw.so or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libformw.so
/usr/lib/ncurses6/libmenuw.so or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libmenuw.so
/usr/lib/ncurses6/libpanelw.so or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libpanelw.so
Use the output of
ncursesw6-config --cflags for CFLAGS
ncursesw6-config --libs for LDFLAGS
to extend the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS. It should be noted that the ABI 6.0
is not only thread safe but also includes extended mouse support and in
case of the wide character version also extended color support.
