+20070127
+       + improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
+         to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
+       + update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
+         it is removed from the ncurses tree.
+       + fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
+         (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
+       + review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
+         its license consistent with ncurses.
+       + use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
+         the c++ binding for scanw() methods.
+       + eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
+
+20070120
+       + add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
+         term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
+       + fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
+       + correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
+         Lichvar).
+
+20070113
+       + add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
+         _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
+       + add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
+         ncurses build-tree.
+       + add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
+         in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
 20070106
        + change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o
        + change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o
