+20080607
+	+ finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
+	  window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr().  That
+	  allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
+	  some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
+	  window which is being used in a wgetch().
+	+ simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
+
+20080531
+	+ modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
+	  parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
+	  use SP internally.
+	+ factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
+	+ add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
+	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
+	+ add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
+	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
+	+ add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
+	  its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
+	+ add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
+	  preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
+
+20080524
+	+ modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
+	  screen which must be updated.
+	+ wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
+	  always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
+	+ restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
+	  Miroslav Lichvar)
+
+20080517
+	+ modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
+	  --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
+	  the ncurses ABI 5.
+	+ corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
+	  Emanuele Giaquinta).
+	+ fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
+	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+20080503
+	+ modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
+	  overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
+	+ modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
+	  global SP.
+	+ simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
+	  each_ripoff().
+
+20080426
+	+ continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
+	  multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
+	+ fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
+
+20080419
+	+ add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
+	+ modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
+	  being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
+	+ improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
+
+20080412
+	+ change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
+	+ add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
+	  window parameters.
+	+ add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
+	  pointer.
+	+ finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
+
+20080405
+	+ begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
+	  used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
+	+ add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
+	  discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
+	  python-dev2 mailing list).
+
 20080329
