+20090801
+       + improve discussion in INSTALL for use of system's tic/infocmp for
+         cross-compiling and building fallbacks.
+       + modify test/demo_termcap.c to correspond better to options in
+         test/demo_terminfo.c
+       + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+       + fix logic for 'V' in test/ncurses.c tests f/F.
+
+20090728
+       + correct logic in tigetnum(), which caused tput program to treat all
+         string capabilities as numeric (report by Rajeev V Pillai,
+         cf: 20090711).
+
+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").
