+20120310
+       + fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
+       + use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
+       + improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):
+
+20120303
+       + minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
+         regarding mapping of \0 to \200
+       + minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
+         loops.
+       + fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
+         calls to setupterm().
+       + modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
+         debug-trace.
+       > merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
+       + ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
+       + ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
+         runtime linker
+       + ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
+         fallback entries
+
+20120228
+       + fix breakage in tic/infocmp from 20120225 (report by Werner Fink).
+
+20120225
+       + modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when
+         cross-compiling.
+       + add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and
+         strlcpy may be used.  The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings
+         about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized.
+       + add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help
+         reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
+       + build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
+         (cf:20111231)
+       + update config.guess, config.sub
+
 20120218
        + correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on
          the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie).
