it is not possible to add this information.
+20091212
+ + correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
+ field_buffer(), which stopped at the end of the first row due to
+ filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
+ + updated nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler, Emanuele Giaquinta)
+ + modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to show wide-character
+ nulls.
+ + use strdup() in set_menu_mark(), restore .marklen struct member on
+ failure.
+ + eliminate clause 3 from the UCB copyrights in read_termcap.c and
+ tset.c per
+ ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
+ (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+ + replace a malloc in tic.c with strdup, checking for failure (patch by
+ Nicholas Marriott).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+
+20091205
+ + correct layout of working window used to extract data in
+ wide-character configured by set_field_buffer (patch by Rafael
+ Garrido Fernandez)
+ + improve some limit-checks related to filename length in reading and
+ writing terminfo entries.
+ + ensure that filename is always filled in when attempting to read
+ a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch
+ by Nicholas Marriott).
+
+20091128
+ + modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
+ is enabled.
+ + add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
+ enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
+ this.
+
+20091121
+ + fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
+ requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
+ rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson).
+ + fix typo in man/curs_trace.3x which caused incorrect symbolic links
+ + improved configure macros CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_PROG_LINT.
+
+20091114
+
+ + updated man/curs_trace.3x
+ + limit hashing for termcap-names to 2-characters (Ubuntu #481740).
+ + change a variable name in lib_newwin.c to make it clearer which
+ value is being freed on error (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+
+20091107
+ + improve test/ncurses.c color-cycling test by reusing attribute-
+ and color-cycling logic from the video-attributes screen.
+ + add ifdef'd with NCURSES_INTEROP_FUNCS experimental bindings in form
+ library which help make it compatible with interop applications
+ (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ + add configure option --enable-interop, for integrating changes
+ for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer
+
20091031
+ modify use of $CC environment variable which is defined by X/Open
as a curses feature, to ignore it if it is not a single character
