+This is a log of changes that the ncurses C++ binding has gone
+through starting with the integration of menu and forms integration
+into the binding.
+
+990731  + Improve support for pads. A viewport window may now be added to
+          a pad. It will then be possible to use a builtin panning mechanism
+          to view the pad.
+
+970908	+ Improve NCursesWindow class: added additional methods to
+	  cover more ncurses functionality. Make refresh() and 
+	  noutrefresh() virtual members to allow different implementation
+	  in the NCursesPanel class.
+	+ CAUTION: changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
+	  NCursesWindow class.
+	+ Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
+	  reimplementation  of refresh() in the base class. Added 
+	  noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
+	+ Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
+	  functionality.
+	+ Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to
+	  etip.h
+	+ Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration 
+	  of menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of
+	  title lines and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
+	+ Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menus fieldlist.
+	+ Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for
+	  menus.
+	+ Enhanced demo.
+970502
+	+ Introduced the THROW and THROWS functions/macros to prepare
+	  a smoother transition to real exception handling.
+	+ Exception classes provided in etip.h
+	+ Added the NCursesMenu class to support libmenu functionality.
+	+ The inheritace relation between NCursesWindow and NCursesColorWindow
+	  was kind of brain damage. Monochrome is a special case of colored, so
+	  the relation should be just the opposite. This would allow all 
+	  derived classes like NCursesPanel, NCursesMenu or NCursesForm to 
+	  have colors.
+	  To resolve that design flaw I put the color functionality into the 
+	  NCursesWindow class and it can be switched on by the static member
+	  useColors(). NCursesColorWindow is still there for compatibility
+	  reasons.

+                  C++ interface to ncurses routines
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This directory contains the source code for several C++ classes which
+ease the use of writing ncurses-based programs.  The code was originally
+derived from the libg++ CursesWindow class, but rewritten for ncurses.
+
+The classes simplify the use of window specific functions by
+encapsulating them in the window object.  Function overloading is
+used in order to narrow the interface.  For example, you do not have the
+distinction between `printw' and `mvprintw' anymore.
+
+A second benefit is the removal of all #defines which are included in
+the curses.h file.  This is a steady cause of trouble because many
+common identifiers are used.  Instead now all #defines are inline
+functions, which also allows strict type checking of arguments.
+
+The next enhancement is color support. It was originally provided by a 
+derived class.  This caused some trouble if you think about Panels or
+Menus and Forms with colors.  We decided to put color support into the
+base class so that any derived class may use color support also.
+The implementation chosen here is directed to unrestricted use
+of mixes of color and monochrome windows.  The original NCursesColorWindow
+class is maintained for compatibility reasons.
+
+The last point to mention is the support of other packages that are
+distributed with the ncurses package:  the panels library, the menu library
+and the form library.  This support is provided by the NCursesPanel class,
+which is also derived from the NCursesWindow class and the NCursesMenu
+and NCursesForm classes which are derived from NCursesPanel.  This allows
+building interfaces with windows.
+
+Please see the example program for a quick introduction.
+
+Note that at this point, there is no documentation for these classes.
+Hopefully some will be written in the not too distant future.  For now,
+to find out how to use the classes, read the code and the example program.
+
+Suggestions for enhancements and contributions of code (and docs) are
+welcome.  Please let us know which functionality you miss.
