+20080907
+	+ corrected fix for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
+	  Meunier).
+
+20080906
+	+ corrected gcc options for building shared libraries on IRIX64.
+	+ add configure check for awk programs unable to handle big-strings,
+	  use that to improve the default for --enable-big-strings option.
+	+ makefile-fixes for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
+	  Meunier).
+	+ update test/configure script.
+	+ adapt ifdef's from library to make test/view.c build when mbrtowc()
+	  is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
+	+ add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
+	  test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
+	  fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
+
+20080830
+	+ fixes to make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
+	+ modify Ada95 'rain' test program to accept keyboard commands like the
+	  C-version.
+	+ modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku (patch by Scott
+	  Mccreary).
+	+ add configure-check to see if the std namespace is legal for cerr
+	  and endl, to fix a build issue with Tru64.
+	+ consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c
+	+ filter #line's from lib_gen.c
+	+ change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
+	  substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
+		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+	  (caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
+
+20080823
+	+ modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
+	  which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
+	+ use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,
+	  makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
+	+ fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).
+	+ modify configure script for the case where tic library is used (and
+	  possibly renamed) to remove its dependency upon ncurses/ncursew
+	  library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
+	+ correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
+	  the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).
+	+ add Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color (prompted by
+	  Debian #495815) -TD
+
+20080816
+	+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
+	+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
+	+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
+	  applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
+	  etc.  This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
+	  Werner Fink).
+	+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
+	  using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
+	+ document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted
+	  by comments by Samuel Thibault).
+	+ fix remaining warnings from Klocwork report.
+
+20080804
+	+ modify _nc_panelhook() data to account for a permanent memory leak.
+	+ fix memory leaks in test/demo_menus
+	+ fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou).
+	+ modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
+	  "dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.
+	+ modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the
+	  search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
+
 20080726
 	+ build-fixes for gcc 4.3.1 (changes to gnat "warnings", and C inlining
 	  thresholds).
