+20081018
+	+ build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
+	+ modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
+	  in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
+	  Nit Khair).
+	+ modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
+	  --disable-database is used.
+	+ add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
+	  to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly
+	  (prompted by patch by Adrian Bunk).
+	+ change configure script to use CF_UTF8_LIB, improved variant of
+	  CF_LIBUTF8.
+
+20081012
+	+ add teraterm4.59 terminfo entry, use that as primary teraterm entry, rename
+	  original to teraterm2.3 -TD
+	+ update "gnome" terminfo to 2.22.3 -TD
+	+ update "konsole" terminfo to 1.6.6, needs today's fix for tic -TD
+	+ add "aterm" terminfo -TD
+	+ add "linux2.6.26" terminfo -TD
+	+ add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
+	  overlooked til now.
+
+20081011
+	+ update html documentation.
+	+ add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
+	  the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
+	+ correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
+	+ document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
+	+ fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
+	+ add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
+	  tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
+	  20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
+
+20081004
+	+ some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
+	  works for C/C++ parts).
+	+ improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
+	  AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
+
+20080927
+	+ fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
+	  strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
+	+ fix build for --disable-sigwinch
+	+ add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
+	  GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
+	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
+	  "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
+	  that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
+	+ reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
+	  Miroslav Lichvar).
+	+ fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
+	+ discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
+	+ move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
+	  slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
+
+20080925
+	+ fix bug in mouse code for GPM from 20080920 changes (reported in
+	  Debian #500103, also Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+20080920
+	+ fix shared-library rules for cygwin with tic- and tinfo-libraries.
+	+ fix a memory leak when failure to connect to GPM.
+	+ correct check for notimeout() in wgetch() (report on linux.redhat
+	  newsgroup by FurtiveBertie).
+	+ add an example warning-suppression file for valgrind,
+	  misc/ncurses.supp (based on example from Reuben Thomas)
+
+20080913
+	+ change shared-library configuration for OpenBSD, make rpath work.
+	+ build-fixes for using libutf8, e.g., on OpenBSD 3.7
+
+20080907
+	+ corrected fix for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
+	  Meunier).
+
+20080906
+	+ corrected gcc options for building shared libraries on IRIX64.
+	+ add configure check for awk programs unable to handle big-strings,
+	  use that to improve the default for --enable-big-strings option.
+	+ makefile-fixes for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
+	  Meunier).
+	+ update test/configure script.
+	+ adapt ifdef's from library to make test/view.c build when mbrtowc()
+	  is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
+	+ add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
+	  test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
+	  fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
+
 20080830
 	+ fixes to make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
 	+ modify Ada95 'rain' test program to accept keyboard commands like the
