+20150404
+	+ improve description of start_color() in the manual.
+	+ modify several files in ncurses- and progs-directories to allow
+	  const data used in internal tables to be put by the linker into the
+	  readonly text segment.
+
+20150329
+	+ correct cut/paste error for "--enable-ext-putwin" that made it the
+	  same as "--enable-ext-colors" (report by Roumen Petrov)
+
+20150328
+	+ add "-f" option to test/savescreen.c to help with testing/debugging
+	  the extended putwin/getwin.
+	+ add logic for writing/reading combining characters in the extended
+	  putwin/getwin.
+	+ add "--enable-ext-putwin" configure option to turn on the extended
+	  putwin/getwin.
+
+20150321
+	+ in-progress changes to provide an extended version of putwin and
+	  getwin which will be capable of reading screen-dumps between the
+	  wide/normal ncurses configurations.  These are text files, except
+	  for a magic code at the beginning:
+	  0       string          \210\210        Screen-dump (ncurses)
+
+20150307
+	+ document limitations of getwin in manual page (prompted by discussion
+	  with John S Urban).
+	+ extend test/savescreen.c to demonstrate that color pair values
+	  and graphic characters can be restored using getwin.
+
 20150228
 	+ modify win_driver.c to eliminate the constructor, to make it more
 	  usable in an application which may/may not need the console window
