From: zmbenhal@netcom.com (Zeyd M. Ben-Halim) Subject: ncurses 0.7.1 is available Date: Wed, 28 Apr 1993 02:49:24 GMT
I've put an intermediate release of ncurses on netcom.com:pub/zmbenhal.
This is a sources only release in 0.71.tar.Z. It includes several fixes or
changes people have asked for.
wrefresh() is now called in wgetch() or wgetstr() if window was modified
or cursor moved since last refresh(). Hopefully this will fix problems with
certain programs.
The order of capabilities was re-arranged to maintain compatibility with
existing terminfo databases. A bug in read_entry.c which pukes on big-
endian machines has also been fixed.
This release should compile on Linux, 386BSD, BSDI, and sunos4.1.3. BSD systems
need to add -DBSD to get around the XTABS/OXTABS contraversy.
If you use gcc's -Wall the only complaint should be in lib_acs.c with
'array subscript is a char'. On a sun you'll get several warnings about
implicit function declarations. Talk to SUN about fixing their headers.
Feedback is welcome, indeed requested,
Zeyd
