PDCurses_3_1

Primarily clipboard-related fixes, and special UTF-8 support.

New features:

  • "Force UTF-8" mode, a compile-time option to force the use of UTF-8
    for multibyte strings, instead of the system locale. (Mainly for
    Windows, where UTF-8 doesn't work well in the console.) See INSTALL.

  • Multibyte string support in PDC_*clipboard() functions, and in Win32's
    PDC_set_title().

  • Added the global string "ttytype", per other curses implementations,
    for compatibility with old BSD curses.

  • Real functions for the "quasi-standard aliases" -- crmode(),
    nocrmode(), draino(), resetterm(), fixterm() and saveterm().
    (Corresponding macros removed.)

Bug fixes and such:

  • In Win32, under NT-family OSes, the scrollback buffer would be
    restored by endwin(), but would not be turned off again when resuming
    curses after an endwin(). The result was an odd, partly-scrolled-up
    display. Now, the buffer is toggled by PDC_reset_prog_mode() and
    PDC_reset_shell_mode(), so it's properly turned off when returning
    from an endwin().

  • In 3.0, selection in X11 didn't work. (Well, the selecting worked, but
    the pasting elsewhere didn't.) This was due to the attempted fix
    "don't return selection start as a press event," so that's been
    reverted for now.

  • PDC_setclipboard() was locking up in X11. Reported by Mark Hessling.

  • Missing underscore in the declaration of XC_say() prevented
    compilation with PDCDEBUG defined. Reported by M.H.

  • Off-by-one error in copywin() -- the maximum coordinates for the
    destination window should be inclusive. Reported by Tiago Dionizio.

  • Start in echo mode, per X/Open. Reported by T.D.

  • Strip leading and trailing spaces from slk labels, per a literal
    reading of X/Open. Suggested by Alexey Miheev (about ncurses, but it
    also applies here).

  • The #endif for PDCURSES needs to come after the closing of the
    extern "C". This has been broken since June 2005. Fortunately (?), it
    only shows up if the file is included multiple times, and then only in
    C++. Reported on the DOSBox forums.

  • Use CF_OEMTEXT instead of CF_TEXT in the narrow versions of the
    clipboard functions in Win32, to match the console.

  • Changed the format of the string returned from longname().

  • In the clipboard test in the testcurs demo, use a single mvprintw() to
    display the return from PDC_getclipboard(), instead of a loop of
    addch(), which was incompatible with multibyte strings.

  • Moved has_key() into the keyname module, and documented it.

  • Moved RIPPEDOFFLINE to curspriv.h.

  • Typos in IMPLEMNT.
