+20140329
+ + add check in tic for mismatch between ccc and initp/initc
+ + cancel ccc in putty-256color and konsole-256color for consistency
+ with the cancelled initc capability (patch by Sven Zuhlsdorf).
+ + add xterm+256setaf building block for various terminals which only
+ get the 256-color feature half-implemented -TD
+ + updated "st" entry (leaving the 0.1.1 version as "simpleterm") to
+ 0.4.1 -TD
+
+20140323
+ + fix typo in "mlterm" entry (report by Gabriele Balducci) -TD
+
+20140322
+ + use types from <stdint.h> in sample build-scripts for chtype, etc.
+ + modify configure script and curses.h.in to allow the types specified
+ using --with-chtype and related options to be defined in <stdint.h>
+ + add terminology entry -TD
+ + add mlterm3 entry, use that as "mlterm" -TD
+ + inherit mlterm-256color from mlterm -TD
+
+20140315
+ + modify _nc_New_TopRow_and_CurrentItem() to ensure that the menu's
+ top-row is adjusted as needed to ensure that the current item is
+ on the screen (patch by Johann Klammer).
+ + add wgetdelay() to retrieve _delay member of WINDOW if it happens to
+ be opaque, e.g., in the pthread configuration (prompted by patch by
+ Soren Brinkmann).
+
+20140308
+ + modify ifdef in read_entry.c to handle the case where
+ NCURSES_USE_DATABASE is not defined (patch by Xin Li).
+ + add cast in form_driver_w() to fix ARM build (patch by Xin Li).
+ + add logic to win_driver.c to save/restore screen contents when not
+ allocating a console-buffer (cf: 20140215).
+
+20140301
+ + clarify error-returns from newwin (report by Ruslan Nabioullin).
+
+20140222
+ + fix some compiler warnings in win_driver.c
+ + updated notes for wsvt25 based on tack and vttest -TD
+ + add teken entry to show actual properties of FreeBSD's "xterm"
+ console -TD
+
+20140215
+ + in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
+ allocating a console-buffer. This uses a pre-existing environment
+ variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
+ discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
+ when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
+ + add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
+ scrolling-stages.
+ + regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
+ html emitted by docbook.
+
20140209
+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
_XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined. g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
