+ used "infocmp -u" to help trim redundant capabilities -TD
+ add limit checks in infocmp needed when processing extended
capabilities with the "-u" option.
+ fix inconsistent sort-order in see-also sections of manpages.
+ fix a few compiler warnings for Solaris 10.
+ modify endwin() to return an error if it is called again without an
intervening screen update (report by Rajeev Pillai, NetBSD #57592).
- Add ncurses patch 20231104
+ modify reset command to avoid altering clocal if the terminal uses a
modem (prompted by discussion with Werner Fink, Michal Suchanek,

+ build-fixes for --with-caps variations.
+ correct a couple of section-references in INSTALL
- Add ncurses patch 20231028
+ move xterm focus mode 1004 from xterm+sm+1006 into xterm+focus as
fe/fd capabilities, like vim (vim-pr #13440).

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 5.9
/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 5.9
/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.
