+20070217
+ + fixes for $(TICS_LIST) in ncurses/Makefile (report by Miroslav
+ Lichvar).
+ + modify relinking of shared libraries to apply only when rpath is
+ enabled, and add --disable-relink option which can be used to
+ disable the feature altogether (reports by Michail Vidiassov,
+ Adam J Richter).
+ + fix --with-termlib option for wide-character configuration, stripping
+ the "w" suffix in one place (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ + remove "-ldl" from some library lists to reduce dependencies in
+ programs (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ + correct description of --enable-signed-char in configure --help
+ (report by Michail Vidiassov).
+ + add pattern for GNU/kFreeBSD configuration to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,
+ which matches an earlier change to CF_SHARED_OPTS, from xterm #224
+ fixes.
+ + remove "${DESTDIR}" from -install_name option used for linking
+ shared libraries on Darwin (report by Michail Vidiassov).
+
+20070210
+ + add test/inchs.c, test_inch_wide.c, to test win_wchnstr().
+ + remove libdl from library list for termlib (report by Miroslav
+ Lichvar).
+ + fix configure.in to allow --without-progs --with-termlib (patch by
+ Miroslav Lichvar).
+ + modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned
+ for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
+ regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
+
+20070203
+ + modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
+ from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
+ Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
+ associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
+ Ricardo Cantu).
+ + improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
+ + ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
+ + add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
+ to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
+ + drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
+ no longer relies on it.
+ + disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
+ --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
+ + remove tack from ncurses tree.
+

+ + add configure option --with-valgrind, changes from vile.
