+20221029
+       + improve curs_slk.3x discussion of extensions and portability (report
+         by Bill Gray).
+
+20221023
+       + change man_db.renames to template, to handle ncurses*-config script
+         with the extra-suffix configure option.
+
+20221015
+       + fix another memory-leak in tic.
+       + update install-sh script from autoconf, to fix install problem for
+         Ada95 with Arch; as noted in
+         https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2018-09/msg00005.html
+         there are unaddressed issues.
+       + update CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, adding GNU libc suffixes for abi64, abin32,
+         x32 (report by Sven Joachim):
+       + correct ifdef's for _nc_set_read_thread() (patch by Mikhail Korolev,
+         cf: 20220813).
+
+20221008
+       + correct a switch-statement case in configure script to allow for test
+         builds with ABI=7.
+       + modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to allow for the case where the library
+         directory does not yet exist, since this is processed before doing an
+         install (report by Michal Liszcz).
+
+20221001
+       + modify configure/scripts to work around interference by GNU grep 3.8
+         (report by Sam James).
+       + update CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, adding variants "gnueabi" and "gnueabihf" to
+         get _DEFAULT_SOURCE special case (report by Adam Sampson)
+
+20220924
+       + modify configure macro CF_BUILD_CC to check if the build-compiler
+         works, rather than that it is different from the cross-compiler, e.g.,
+         to accommodate a compiler which can be used for either purpose with
+         different flags (report by Mikhail Korolev).
+       + fix another memory-leak in tic.
+       + correct change for cppcheck in menu library (report/analysis by
+         "tuxway", cf: 20220903).
+       + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20220917
+       + reduce memory-leak in tic by separating allocations for struct entry
+         from TERMTYPE2 (cf: 20220430).
+       + improve interaction between tic -v option and NCURSES_TRACE, by
+         processing the latter only when -v option does not set _nc_tracing.
+       + modify curses_trace() to show the trace-mask as symbols, e.g.,
+         TRACE_ORDINARY, DEBUG_LEVEL(3).
+
 20220910
        + amend verbose-option change to make this affect level 3, e.g., using
          "tic -cv3 terminfo".
