 ncurses 5.1 - patch 20001014 - T.Dickey
 
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I'll work on release notes, and if no interesting bugs surface, will make
 the 5.2 release (yes, I've not incremented the minor version yet).

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Ncurses 5.1 is at
        ftp.gnu.org:/pub/gnu

 Patches for ncurses 5.1 are in the subdirectory
        ftp://dickey.his.com/ncurses/5.1

20001014
        + correct an off-by-one position in test/railroad.c which could cause
          wrapping at the right margin.
        + test/repair some issues with libtool configuration.  Make
          --disable-echo force libtool --silent.  (Libtool does not work for
          OS/2 EMX, works partly for SCO - libtool is still very specific to
          gcc).
        + change default of --with-manpage-tbl to "no", since for most of the
          platforms which do have tbl installed, the system "man" program
          understands how to run tbl automatically.
        + minor improvement to force_bar() in comp_parse.c (Bernhard
          Rosenkraenzer <address@hidden>).
        + modify lib_tparm.c to use get_space() before writing terminating
          null character, both for consistency as well as to ensure that if
          save_char() was called immediately before, that the allocated memory
          is enough (patch by Sergei Ivanov).
        + add note about termcap ML capability which is duplicated between two
          different capabilities:  smgl and smglr (reported by Sergei Ivanov
          <address@hidden>).
        + correct parameter counts in include/Caps for dclk as well as some
          printer-specific capabilities: csnm, defc, scs, scsd, smgtp, smglp.
        > patch by Johnny C Lam <address@hidden>:
        + add support for building with libtool (apparently version 1.3.5,
          since old versions do not handle -L../lib), using new configure
          option --with-libtool.
        + add configure option --with-manpage-tbl, which causes the manpages to
          be preprocessed by tbl(1) prior to installation,
        + add configure option --without-curses-h, which causes the
          installation process to install curses.h as ncurses.h and make
          appropriate changes to headers and manpages.
