+20090725
+       + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090718
+       + fix a null-pointer check in _nc_format_slks() in lib_slk.c, from
+         20070704 changes.
+       + modify _nc_find_type_entry() to use hashing.
+       + make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this would
+         change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible.
+       + modify test-programs, e.g,.  test/view.c, to address subtle
+         differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
+         values.
+       + modify length returned by getcchar() to count the trailing null
+         which is documented in X/Open (cf: 20020427).
+       + fixes for test programs to build/work on HPUX and AIX, etc.
+
+20090711
+       + improve performance of tigetstr, etc., by using hashing code from tic.
+       + minor fixes for memory-leak checking.
+       + add test/demo_terminfo, for comparison with demo_termcap
+
+20090704
+       + remove wide-character checks from unctrl() (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
+       + revise wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to eliminate dependency on
+         unctrl().
+       + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090627
+       + update llib-lncurses[wt] to use sp-funcs.
+       + various code-fixes to build/work with --disable-macros configure
+         option.
+       + add several new files from Juergen Pfeifer which will be used when
+         integration of "sp-funcs" is complete.  This includes a port to
+         MinGW.
+
+20090613
+       + move definition for NCURSES_WRAPPED_VAR back to ncurses_dll.h, to
+         make includes of term.h without curses.h work (report by "Nix").
+       + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090607
+       + fix a regression in lib_tputs.c, from ongoing merges.
+
+20090606
+       + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090530
+       + fix an infinite recursion when adding a legacy-coding 8-bit value
+         using insch() (report by Clemens Ladisch).
+       + free home-terminfo string in del_curterm() (patch by Dan Weber).
+       + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090523
+       + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090516
+       + work around antique BSD game's manipulation of stdscr, etc., versus
+         SCREEN's copy of the pointer (Debian #528411).
+       + add a cast to wattrset macro to avoid compiler warning when comparing
+         its result against ERR (adapted from patch by Matt Kraii, Debian
+         #528374).
+
+20090510
+       + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
 20090502
        + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
