+20070331
+       + modify Ada95 binding to build with --enable-reentrant by wrapping
+         global variables (bug: acs_map does not yet work).
+       + modify Ada95 binding to use the new access-functions, allowing it
+         to build/run when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
+       + add access-functions and macros to return properties of the WINDOW
+         structure, e.g., when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
+       + improved install-sh's quoting.
+       + use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs, e.g., to use fixes from
+         other programs.
+
+20070324
+       + eliminate part of the direct use of WINDOW data from Ada95 interface.
+       + fix substitutions for termlib filename to make configure option
+         --enable-reentrant work with --with-termlib.
+       + change a constructor for NCursesWindow to allow compiling with
+         NCURSES_OPAQUE set, since we cannot pass a reference to
+         an opaque pointer.
+
+20070317
+       + ignore --with-chtype=unsigned since unsigned is always added to
+         the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
+       + change warning regarding --enable-ext-colors and wide-character
+         in the configure script to an error.
+       + tweak error message in CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to distinguish other programs
+         such as Darwin's libtool program (report by Michail Vidiassov)
+       + modify edit_man.sh to allow for multiple substitutions per line.
+       + set locale in misc/ncurses-config.in since it uses a range
+       + change permissions libncurses++.a install (report by Michail
+         Vidiassov).
+       + corrected length of temporary buffer in wide-character version
+         of set_field_buffer() (related to report by Bryan Christ).
+
 20070311
        + fix mk-1st.awk script install_shlib() function, broken in 20070224
          changes for cygwin (report by  Michail Vidiassov).
