+20191130
+	+ add portability section to curs_getcchar manpage (prompted by
+	  discussion with Nick Black).

+	+ fix typo for MinGW rpm test-package.
+	+ workaround in rpm specs for NFS problems in Fedora 31.
+
+20191116
+	+ modify ncurses/Makefile.in to fix a case where Debian/testing changes
+	  to the ld --as-needed configuration broke ncurses-examples test
+	  packages.
+	+ drop library-dependency on psapi for MinGW port, since win_driver.c
+	  defines PSAPI_VERSION to 2, making it use GetProcessImageFileName
+	  from kernel32.dll (prompted by patch by Simon Sobish, cf: 20140503).
+
+20191109
+	+ add warning-check in tic for terminals with parm_dch vs parm_ich.
+	+ drop ich1 from rxvt-basic, Eterm and mlterm to improve compatibility
+	  with old non-curses programs -TD
+	+ reviewed st 0.8.2, updated some details -TD
+	+ use ansi+rep several places -TD
+	+ corrected tic's check for ich1 (report by Sebastian J. Bronner,
+	  cf: 20020901).
+
+20191102
+	+ check parameter of set_escdelay, return ERR if negative.
+	+ check parameter of set_tabsize, return ERR if not greater than zero
+	  (report/patch by Anthony Sottile).

+	+ add "xterm-mono" to help packagers (report by Sven Joachim) -TD
+
+20191026
+	+ add a note in man/curs_add_wch.3x about Unicode terminology for the
+	  line-drawing characters (report by Nick Black).
+	+ improve comment in lib_tgoto.c regarding the use of \200 where a
+	  \0 would be intended by the caller (report by "64 bit", cf: 20000923).
+	+ modify linux-16color to accommodate Linux console driver change in
+	  early 2018 (report by Dino Petrucci).
+
+20191019
+	+ modify make_hash to not require --disable-leaks, to simplify building
+	  with address-sanitizer.
+	+ modify tic to exit if it cannot remove a conflicting name, because
+	  treating that as a partial success can cause an infinite loop in
+	  use-resolution (report/testcase by Hongxu Chen, cf: 20111001).
+
+20191015
+	+ improve buffer-checks in captoinfo.c, for some cases when the
+	  input string is shorter than expected.
+	> fix two errata in tic (report/testcases by Hongxu Chen):
+	+ check for missing character after backslash in write_it

+	+ check for invalid hashcode in _nc_find_type_entry and
+	  _nc_find_name_entry.

+	+ check for invalid hashcode in _nc_find_entry.
+	+ check for missing character after backslash in fmt_entry
+	+ check for acsc with odd length in dump_entry in check for one-one
+	  mapping (cf: 20060415);
+	+ check length when converting from old AIX box_chars_1 capability,
+	  overlooked in changes to eliminate strcpy (cf: 20001007).
+
+20191005
+	+ modify the ncurse*-config and pc-files to more closely match for the
+	  -I and -l options.
+
+20190928
+	+ amend the ncurses*-config and pc-files to take into account the rpath
+	  hack which differed between those files.
+	+ improve -L option filtering in ncurses*-config

+	  test/ncurses.c, showing the relevant error message and not exiting on
