+20070623
+       + add test/demo_panels.c
+       + implement opaque version of setsyx() and getsyx().
+
+20070612
+       + corrected xterm+pcf2 terminfo modifiers for F1-F4, to match xterm
+         #226 -TD
+       + split-out key_name() from MKkeyname.awk since it now depends upon
+         wunctrl() which is not in libtinfo (report by Rong-En Fan).
+
+20070609
+       + add test/key_name.c
+       + add stdscr cases to test/inchs.c and test_inch_wide.c
+       + update test/configure
+       + correct formatting of DEL (0x7f) in _nc_vischar().
+       + null-terminate result of wunctrl().
+       + add null-pointer check in key_name() (report by Andreas Krennmair,
+         cf: 20020901).
+
+20070602
+       + adapt mouse-handling code from menu library in form-library
+         (discussion with Clive Nicolson).
+       + add a modification of test/dots.c, i.e., test/dots_mvcur.c to
+         illustrate how to use mvcur().
+       + modify wide-character flavor of SetAttr() to preserve the 
+         WidecExt() value stored in the .attr field, e.g., in case it
+         is overwritten by chgat (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
+       + correct buffer-size for _nc_viswbuf2n() (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
+       + build-fixes for Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 (patch by Peter O'Gorman).
+
+20070526
+       + modify keyname() to use "^X" form only if meta() has been called, or
+         if keyname() is called without initializing curses, e.g., via
+         initscr() or newterm() (prompted by LinuxBase #1604).
+       + document some portability issues in man/curs_util.3x
+       + add a shadow copy of TTY buffer to _nc_prescreen to fix applications
+         broken by moving that data into SCREEN (cf: 20061230).
