+20081018
+       + build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
+       + modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
+         in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
+         Nit Khair).
+       + modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
+         --disable-database is used.
+       + add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
+         to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly
+         (prompted by patch by Adrian Bunk).
+       + change configure script to use CF_UTF8_LIB, improved variant of
+         CF_LIBUTF8.
+
+20081012
+       + add teraterm4.59 terminfo entry, use that as primary teraterm entry, rename
+         original to teraterm2.3 -TD
+       + update "gnome" terminfo to 2.22.3 -TD
+       + update "konsole" terminfo to 1.6.6, needs today's fix for tic -TD
+       + add "aterm" terminfo -TD
+       + add "linux2.6.26" terminfo -TD
+       + add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
+         overlooked til now.
+
+20081011
+       + update html documentation.
+       + add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
+         the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
+       + correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
+       + document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
+       + fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
+       + add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
+         tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
+         20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
+
+20081004
+       + some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
+         works for C/C++ parts).
+       + improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
+         AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
+
 20080927
        + fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
          strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
