The terminal driver for MinGW32 was introduced + in <a href="@HOMEPAGE@/NEWS.html#t20090214">2009</a>. A new + version of the terminal driver to support Windows Terminal was + begun in <a href="@HOMEPAGE@/NEWS.html#t20200829">2020</a>. + However, there were some differences:</p> <ul> <li> - <p>The low-level terminfo and termcap interfaces are used - both by the higher-level curses library, as well as by many - applications.</p> + <p>Both drivers use <a href= + "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-reference"> + Console API</a>; the later Windows driver also provides for + using character escape sequences.</p> + </li> - <p>The functions which convert parameterized terminal - capability strings for output to the terminal - (<code>tiparm</code> and <code>tparm</code>) analyze the - capability string to determine which parameters are strings - (i.e., addresses), versus numbers (not addresses).</p> + <li> + <p>The MinGW32 driver was designed to imitate POSIX terminal + I/O data types to simplify integration with the existing + sources.</p> - <p>The library's analysis of a capability string may differ - from the calling application's design if environment - variables are used to point to an invalid terminal database. - This is a longstanding problem with <em>all</em> - implementations of terminfo, dating from the early 1980s.</p> + <p>The newer Windows driver did not integrate with the + sources in the same way.
