+20110409
+ + fixes to build c++ binding with clang 3.0 (patch by Alexander
+ Kolesen).
+ + add check for unctrl.h in test/configure, to work around breakage in
+ some ncurses packages.
+ + add "--disable-widec" option to test/configure script.
+ + add "--with-curses-colr" and "--with-curses-5lib" options to the
+ test/configure script to address testing with very old machines.
+
+20110404 5.9 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+
+20110402
+ + various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts.
+ + add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow
+ packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for
+ the in-tree build of sample programs.
+ + corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in,
+ needed for rpm script.
+ + add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow
+ making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler
+ options if building a shared library with gnat.
+
+20110329
+ > portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
+ + add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat. This is
+ needed for the "rain" sample program. If SIGINT does not work, omit
+ that sample program.
+ + correct typo in check of $PKG_CONFIG variable in Ada95/configure
+ + add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding
+ which were added in 5.7 and later.
+ + modify sed expression in CF_NCURSES_ADDON to eliminate a dependency
+ upon GNU sed.
+
+20110326
+ + add special check in Ada95/configure script for ncurses6 reentrant
+ code.
+ + regen Ada html documentation.
+ + build-fix for Ada shared libraries versus the varargs workaround.
+ + add rpm and dpkg scripts for Ada95 and test directories, for test
+ builds.
+ + update test/configure macros CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and
+ CF_X_ATHENA_LIBS.
+ + add configure check to determine if gnat's project feature supports
+ libraries, i.e., collections of .ali files.
+ + make all dereferences in Ada95 samples explicit.
+ + fix typo in comment in lib_add_wch.c (patch by Petr Pavlu).
+ + add configure check for, ifdef's for math.h which is in a separate
+ package on Solaris and potentially not installed (report by Petr
+ Pavlu).
+ > fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+ + improve type-checking in Ada95 by eliminating a few warning-suppress
+ pragmas.
+ + suppress unreferenced warnings.
+ + make all dereferences in binding explicit.

+ change order of -I options from ncurses*-config script when the
