+20120901
+	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_flush (cf: 20120825).
+	+ fix a case in _nc_scroll_optimize() where the _oldnums_list array
+	  might not be allocated.
+	+ improve comparisons in configure.in for unset shell variables.
+
+20120826
+	+ increase size of ncurses' output-buffer, in case of very small
+	  initial screen-sizes.
+	+ fix evaluation of TERMINFO and TERMINFO_DIRS default values as needed
+	  after changes to use --datarootdir (reports by Gabriele Balducci,
+	  Roumen Petrov).
+
+20120825
+	+ change output buffering scheme, using buffer maintained by ncurses
+	  rather than stdio, to avoid problems with SIGTSTP handling (report
+	  by Brian Bloniarz).
+
+20120811
+	+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20120811, adding --datarootdir
+	  (prompted by discussion with Erwin Waterlander).
+	+ improve description of --enable-reentrant option in README and the
+	  INSTALL file.
+	+ add nsterm-256color, make this the default nsterm -TD
+	+ remove bw from nsterm-bce, per testing with tack -TD
+
+20120804
+	+ update test/configure, adding check for tinfo library.
+	+ improve limit-checks for the getch fifo (report by Werner Fink).
+	+ fix a remaining mismatch between $with_echo and the symbols updated
+	  for CF_DISABLE_ECHO affecting parameters for mk-2nd.awk (report by
+	  Sven Joachim, cf:  20120317).
+	+ modify followup check for pkg-config's library directory in the
+	  --enable-pc-files option to validate syntax (report by Sven Joachim,
+	  cf: 20110716).
+
+20120728
+	+ correct path for ncurses_mingw.h in include/headers, in case build
+	  is done outside source-tree (patch by Roumen Petrov).
+	+ modify some older xterm entries to align with xterm source -TD
+	+ separate "xterm-old" alias from "xterm-r6" -TD
+	+ add E3 extended capability to xterm-basic and putty -TD
+	+ parenthesize parameters of other macros in curses.h -TD
+	+ parenthesize parameter of COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER in curses.h
+	  in case it happens to be a comma-expression, etc.  (patch by Nick
+	  Black).
+
+20120721
+	+ improved form_request_by_name() and menu_request_by_name().
+	+ eliminate two fixed-size buffers in toe.c
+	+ extend use_tioctl() to have expected behavior when use_env(FALSE) and
+	  use_tioctl(TRUE) are called.
+	+ modify ncurses test-program, adding -E and -T options to demonstrate
+	  use_env() versus use_tioctl().
+
+20120714
+	+ add use_tioctl() function (adapted from patch by Werner Fink,
+	  Novell #769788):
+
+20120707
+	+ add ncurses_mingw.h to installed headers (prompted by patch by
+	  Juergen Pfeifer).
+	+ clarify return-codes from wgetch() in response to SIGWINCH (prompted
+	  by Novell #769788).
+	+ modify resizeterm() to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo, even
+	  if screensize is unchanged.  Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
+	  KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
+	  resizeterm().  These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
+	  received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
+	  dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).
+
+20120630
+	+ add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
+	  Pfeifer).
+	+ update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.
+	+ modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though
+	  some work is needed on cproto to work with lib_gen.c to update
+	  llib-lncurses.
+	+ remove redundant getenv() cal in database-iterator leftover from
+	  cleanup in 20120622 changes (report by Sven Joachim).
+
+20120622
+	+ add -d, -e and -q options to test/demo_terminfo and test/demo_termcap
+	+ fix caching of environment variables in database-iterator (patch by
+	  Philippe Troin, Redhat #831366).
+
 20120616
 	+ add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate
 	  warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings
