+20210418
+       + improve CF_LINK_FUNCS by ensuring that the source-file is closed
+         before linking to the target.
+       + add "check" rules for headers in c++, progs and test-directories.
+       + build-fix for termsort module when configured with termcap (reports
+         by Rajeev V Pillai, Rudi Heitbaum).
+
+20210417
+       + extend --disable-pkg-ldflags option to also control whether $LDFLAGS
+         from the build is provided in -config and .pc files (Debian #986764).
+       + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses and c++
+         libraries and progs directory.
+       + fix off-by-one limit for tput's processing command-line arguments
+         (patch by Hadrien Lacour).
+
+20210403
+       + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library and
+         progs directory.
+       + improve description of BSD-style padding in curs_termcap.3x
+       + improved CF_C11_NORETURN macro, from byacc changes.
+       + fix "--enable-leak" in CF_DISABLE_LEAKS to allow turning
+         leak-checking off later in a set of options.
+       + relax modification-time comparison in CF_LINK_FUNCS to allow it to
+         accept link() function with NFS filesystems which change the mtime
+         on the link target, e.g., several BSD systems.
+       + call delay_output_sp to handle BSD-style padding when tputs_sp is 
+         called, whether directly or internally, to ensure that the SCREEN
+         pointer is passed correctly (reports by Henric Jungheim, Juraj
+         Lutter).
