+20140629
+       + correct check in win_driver.c for saving screen contents, e.g., when
+         NCURSES_CONSOLE2 is set (cf: 20140503).
+       + reorganize b/B menu items in ncurses.c, putting the test-strings into
+         subwindows.  This is needed for a planned change to use Unicode
+         fullwidth characters in the test-screens.
+       + correct update to form status for _NEWTOP, broken by fixes for
+         compiler warnings (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20120616).
+
+20140621
+       + change shared-library suffix for AIX 5 and 6 to ".so", avoiding
+         conflict with the static library (report by Ben Lentz).
+       + document RPATH_LIST in INSTALLATION file, as part of workarounds for
+         upgrading an ncurses library using the "--with-shared" option.
+       + modify test/ncurses.c c/C tests to cycle through subsets of the
+         total number of colors, to better illustrate 8/16/88/256-colors by
+         providing directly comparable screens.
+       + add test/dots_curses.c, for comparison with the low-level examples.
+
+20140614
+       + fix dereference before null check found by Coverity in tic.c 
+         (cf: 20140524).
+       + fix sign-extension bug in read_entry.c which prevented "toe" from
+         reading empty "screen+italics" entry.
+       + modify sgr for screen.xterm-new to support dim capability -TD
+       + add dim capability to nsterm+7 -TD
+       + cancel dim capability for iterm -TD
+       + add dim, invis capabilities to vte-2012 -TD
+       + add sitm/ritm to konsole-base and mlterm3 -TD
