+20090117
+       + add -shared option to MK_SHARED_LIB when -Bsharable is used, for
+         *BSD's, without which "main" might be one of the shared library's
+         dependencies (report/analysis by Ken Dickey).
+       + modify waddch_literal(), updating line-pointer after a multicolumn
+         character is found to not fit on the current row, and wrapping is
+         done.  Since the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
+         multicolumn character was written to the beginning of the current row
+         (cf: 20041023, reported by "Nick" regarding problem with ncmpc
+         http://musicpd.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1930).
+
+20090110
+       + add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD
+       + modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the adalib
+         directory.
+       + correct install for Ada95, which omitted libAdaCurses.a used in
+         adacurses-config
+       + change install for adacurses-config to provide additional flavors
+         such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849).
+
+20090105
+       + remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
+         prefix variable.
+       + recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
+         --disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the
+         subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix
+         (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
+
+20090104
+       + modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when
+         deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
+         for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
+         account.
+       + fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
+         used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
+
 20090103
        + add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
          CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
