+20210220
+       + improve tic warning when oc/op do not mention SGR 39/49 for xterm
+         compatible XT flag.
+       + revert change to lib_addch.c in waddch_literal() from 20210130, since
+         the followup fix in PutCharLR() actually corrects the problem while
+         this change causes too-early filling/wrapping (report by Johannes
+         Altmanninger).
+       + add/use vt220+pcedit and vt220+vtedit  -TD
+       + add scrt/securecrt and absolute -TD
+       + add nel to xterm-new, though supported since X11R5 -TD
+       + add/use xterm+nofkeys -TD
+       + move use of ecma+italics from xterm-basic to xterm+nofkeys -TD
+
+20210213
+       + add test/back_ground.c, to exercise the wide-character background
+         functions.
+       + add a check in _nc_build_wch() in case the background character is a
+         wide-character, rather than a new part of a multibyte character.
+       + improve tracemunch's coverage of form/menu/panel libraries.
+       + improve tracemunch's checking/reporting the type for the first
+         parameter, e.g., "WINDOW*" rather than "#1".
+
+20210206
+       + provide for wide-characters as background character in wbkgrnd
+         (report/testcase by Anton Vidovic)
+       + add name for Fedora's pcre2 to configure check for "--with-pcre2"
+         option, from xterm #363 -TD
+       + modify adjustment in PutCharLR to restore the cursor position before
+         writing to the lower-right corner, rather than decrementing the
+         cursor column, in case it was a double-width character (cf: 20210130).
+

 20210130
        + correct an off-by-one in comparison in waddch_literal() which caused
          scrolling when a double-cell character would not fit at the lower
