+20070812
+       + amend treatment of infocmp "-r" option to retain the 1023-byte limit
+         unless "-T" is given (cf: 981017).
+       + modify comp_captab.c generation to use big-strings.
+       + make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private accessed via
+         _nc_get_alias_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
+         library.
+       + modify configure script to skip Intel compiler in CF_C_INLINE.
+       + make _nc_info_hash_table and _nc_cap_hash_table private accessed via
+         _nc_get_hash_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
+         library.
+
+20070728
+       + make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private, accessed via
+         _nc_get_alias_table() since they are used only by parse_entry.c
+       + make _nc_key_names private since it is used only by lib_keyname.c
+       + add --disable-big-strings configure option to control whether
+         unctrl.c is generated using the big-string optimization - which may
+         use strings longer than supported by a given compiler.
+       + reduce relocation tables for tic, infocmp by changing type of
+         internal hash tables to short, and make those private symbols.
+       + eliminate large fixed arrays from progs/infocmp.c
+
+20070721
+       + change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line (cf: 970315).
+       + add test/test_get_wstr.c
+       + add test/test_getstr.c
+       + add test/test_inwstr.c
+       + add test/test_instr.c
+
 20070716
        + restore a call to obtain screen-size in _nc_setupterm(), which
          is used in tput and other non-screen applications via setupterm()
