+20071117
+       + modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
+         generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the
+         filesystem terminfo database (request by Michail Vidiassov).
+       + add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
+         configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
+         filenames.
+       + add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
+       + define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make
+         it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors are
+         declared.
+
+20071103
+       + update memory-leak checks for changes to names.c and codes.c
+       + correct acsc strings in h19, z100 (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler).
+
+20071020
+       + continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
+         for use_window().
+       + add mrxvt terminfo entry, add/fix xterm building blocks for modified
+         cursor keys -TD
+       + compile with FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface (patch by
+         Rong-En Fan).
+
+20071013
+       + modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
+         without libtic.  The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
+         that library.
+       + add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
+         the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
+       + fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat Bugzilla
+         #310071, patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
+       + improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
+         Lichvar).
+       + update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
+         the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
+
 20071006
        + add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
          changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
