+20081004
+       + some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
+         works for C/C++ parts).
+       + improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
+         AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
+
+20080927
+       + fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
+         strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
+       + fix build for --disable-sigwinch
+       + add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
+         GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
+       + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
+         "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
+         that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
+       + reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
+         Miroslav Lichvar).
+       + fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
+       > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+       + use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
+       + discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
+       + move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
+         slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
+
+20080925
+       + fix bug in mouse code for GPM from 20080920 changes (reported in
+         Debian #500103, also Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+20080920
+       + fix shared-library rules for cygwin with tic- and tinfo-libraries.
+       + fix a memory leak when failure to connect to GPM.
+       + correct check for notimeout() in wgetch() (report on linux.redhat
+         newsgroup by FurtiveBertie).
+       + add an example warning-suppression file for valgrind,
+         misc/ncurses.supp (based on example from Reuben Thomas)
+
 20080913
        + change shared-library configuration for OpenBSD, make rpath work.
        + build-fixes for using libutf8, e.g., on OpenBSD 3.7
