+20101113
+       + compiler warning fixes for test programs.
+       + various build-fixes for test-programs with pdcurses.
+       + updated configure checks for X packages in test/configure from xterm
+         #267 changes.
+       + add configure check to gnatmake, to accommodate cygwin.
+
+20101106
+       + correct list of sub-directories needed in Ada95 tree for building as
+         a separate package.
+       + modify scripts in test-directory to improve builds as a separate
+         package.
+
+20101023
+       + correct parsing of relative tab-stops in tabs program (report by
+         Philip Ganchev).
+       + adjust configure script so that "t" is not added to library suffix
+         when weak-symbols are used, allowing the pthread configuration to
+         more closely match the non-thread naming (report by Werner Fink).
+       + modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks, to a
+         warning if not found.  This makes it simpler to use additonal
+         scripts to bootstrap the fallbacks code using tic from the build
+         tree (report by Werner Fink).
+       + fix several places in configure script using ${variable-value} form.
+       + modify configure macro CF_LDFLAGS_STATIC to accommodate some loaders
+         which do not support selectively linking against static libraries
+         (report by John P. Hartmann)
+       + fix an unescaped dash in man/tset.1 (report by Sven Joachim).
+
+20101009
+       + correct comparison used for setting 16-colors in linux-16color
+         entry (Novell #644831) -TD
+       + improve linux-16color entry, using "dim" for color-8 which makes it
+         gray rather than black like color-0 -TD
+       + drop misc/ncu-indent and misc/jpf-indent; they are provided by an
+         external package "cindent".
+
 20101002
        + improve linkages in html manpages, adding references to the newer
          pages, e.g., *_variables, curs_sp_funcs, curs_threads.
