+20121026
+	+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
+	  #866989).
+	+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
+	+ updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST.  The
+	  first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
+
+20121017
+	+ fix change to _nc_scroll_optimize(), which incorrectly freed memory 
+	  (Redhat #866989).
+
+20121013
+	+ add vte-2012, gnome-2012, making these the defaults for vte/gnome
+	  (patch by Christian Persch).
+
+20121006
+	+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
+	  --version message.
+	+ improve configure macros as done in byacc:
+	  + drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
+	    has used that for a while.
+	  + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
+	    for experimental use.
+	  + remove unused configure macros.
+	+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
+	  for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
+	+ modify configure script to show $PATH_SEPARATOR variable.
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20120922
+	+ modify setupterm to set its copy of TERM to "unknown" if configured
+	  for the terminal driver and TERM was null or empty.
+	+ modify treatment of TERM variable for MinGW port to allow explicit
+	  use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
+	  "#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
+	+ undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
+	  older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
+
+20120908
+	+ add test-screens to test/ncurses to show 256-characters at a time,
+	  to help with MinGW port.
+
+20120903
+	+ simplify varargs logic in lib_printw.c; va_copy is no longer needed
+	  there.
+	+ modifications for MinGW port to make wide-character display usable.
+
+20120902
+	+ regenerate configure script (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20120901).
+
+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).
