+20200523
+       + update version-check for gnat to allow for gnat 10.x to 99.x
+       + fix an uninitialized variable in lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20200502)
+       + add a check in EmitRange to guard against repeat_char emitting digits
+         which could be interpreted as BSD-style padding when --enable-bsdpad 
+         is configured (report/patch by Hiltjo Posthuma).
+       + add --disable-pkg-ldflags to suppress EXTRA_LDFLAGS from the
+         generated pkg-config and ncurses*-config files, to simplify
+         configuring in the case where rpath is used but the packager wants
+         to hide the feature (report by Michael Stapelberg).
+       > fixes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2 (patches by
+         "Maarten Anonymous"):
+       + modify CF_SHARED_OPTS to generate a script which translates linker
+         options into Visual Studio's dialect.
+       + omit parentheses around function-names in generated lib_gen.c to
+         work around a Visual Studio C++ limitation.
+
+20200516
+       + add notes on termcap.h header in curs_termcap.3x
+       + update notes on vscode / xterm.js -TD
+
+20200509
+       + add "-r" option to the dots test-programs, to help with scripting
+         a performance comparison.
+       + build-fix test/move_field.c for NetBSD curses, whose form headers
+         use different names than SVr4 or ncurses.
