+20090927
+       + move leak-checking for comp_captab.c into _nc_leaks_tinfo() since
+         that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
+       + add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
+         terminal-driver.  That is used in mingw port, and (being somewhat
+         more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
+         termlib internals.  Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to
+         be enabled.
+       + completed integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer in ncurses
+         library (some work remains for forms library).
+
+20090919
+       + document return code from define_key (report by Mike Gran).
+       + make some symbolic links in the terminfo directory-tree shorter
+         (patch by Daniel Jacobowitz, forwarded by Sven Joachim).).
+       + fix some groff warnings in terminfo.5, etc., from recent Debian
+         changes.
+       + change ncv and op capabilities in sun-color terminfo entry to match
+         Sun's entry for this (report by Laszlo Peter).
+       + improve interix smso terminfo capability by using reverse rather than
+         bold (report by Kristof Zelechovski).
+
+20090912
+       + add some test programs (and make these use the same special keys
+         by sharing linedata.h functions):
+         test/test_addstr.c
+         test/test_addwstr.c
+         test/test_addchstr.c
+         test/test_add_wchstr.c
+       + correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when
+         inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used
+         did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
+
+20090906
+       + fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
+         work.
+       + add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.
+       + add is_pad() and is_subwin() functions for opaque access to WINDOW
+         (discussion with Mark Dickinson).
+       + correct merge to lib_newterm.c, which broke when sp-funcs was
+         enabled.
+
 20090905
        + build-fix for building outside source-tree (report by Sven Joachim).
        + fix Debian lintian warning for man/tabs.1 by making section number
