+20200831
+       + build-fix for awk-scripts modified for win32-driver (report by Werner
+         Fink).
+
+20200829
+       + remove a redundant NCURSES_EXPORT as a build-fix for "Maarten
+         Anonymous".
+       + merge/adapt in-progress work by Juergen Pfeifer for new version of
+         win32-driver.
+       + modify configure script, moving gcc -Werror options to EXTRA_CFLAGS
+         to avoid breaking configure-checks (adapted from ongoing work on
+         mawk and lynx).
+       > errata for terminfo.src (report by Florian Weimer):
+       + correct icl6404 csr
+       + correct ti916 cup
+       + improve ndr9500
+
+20200822
+       + improve version-number extraction in MKlib_gen.sh
+       + make the test-package for manpages installable by adjusting the
+         man_db.renames file.
+       + correct an off-by-one loop-limit in convert_strings function
+         (report by Yue Tai).
+       + add CF_SHARED_OPTS cases for HPE NonStop systems (Randall S Becker).
+       + modify CF_SHARED_OPTS case for NetBSD to use the same "-shared"
+         option for the non-rpath case as for the rpath case, to allow gcc to
+         provide suitable runtime initialization (report by Rajeev V Pillai).
+
+20200817
+       + reduce build-warnings by excluding ncurses-internals from deprecation
+         warnings.
+       + mark wgetch-events feature as deprecated.
+       + add definition for $(LIBS) to ncurses/Makefile.in, to simplify builds
+         using the string-hacks option.
+       + prevent KEY_EVENT from appearing in curses.h unless the configure
+         option --enable-wgetch-events is used (report by Werner Fink).
+
+20200816
+       + amend tic/infocmp check to allow for the respective tool's absence
+         (report by Steve Wills, cf: 20200808).
+       + improved some of the build-scripts with shellcheck
+       + filter out -MT/-MD/-MTd/-MDd options in script for Visual Studio C++
+         (discussion with "Maarten Anonymous").
+
+20200808
+       + improve discussion of the system's tic utility when used as part
+         of cross-compiling (discussion with Keith Marshall).
+       + modify configuration checks for build-time tic/infocmp to use
+         AC_CHECK_TOOL. That can still be overridden by --with-tic-path and
+         --with-infocmp-path when fallbacks are used, but even if not using
+         fallbacks, the improved check may help with cross-compiling
+         (discussion with Keith Marshall).
+       + other build-fixes for Ada95 with MinGW.
+       + modify Ada95 source-generation utility to write to a file given as
+         parameter rather than to the standard output, allowing builds with
+         MinGW.
+

 20200801
        + remove remaining parts of checks for ISC Unix (cf: 20121006).
        + add user32.lib to LDFLAGS for Visual Studio C++ configuration
