+20150418
+	+ avoid a blank line in output from tabs program by ending it with
+	  a carriage return as done in FreeBSD (patch by James Clarke).
+	+ build-fix for the "--enable-ext-putwin" feature when not using
+	  wide characters (report by Werner Fink).
+	+ modify autoconf macros to use scripting improvement from xterm.
+	+ add -brtl option to compiler options on AIX 5-7, needed to link
+	  with the shared libraries.
+	+ add --with-extra-suffix option to help with installing nonconflicting
+	  ncurses6 packages, e.g., avoiding header- and library-conflicts.
+	  NOTE: as a side-effect, this renames
+		  adacurses-config to adacurses5-config and
+		  adacursesw-config to adacursesw5-config
+	+ modify debian/rules test package to suffix programs with "6".
+	+ clarify in curs_inopts.3x that window-specific settings do not
+	  inherit into new windows.
+
+20150404
+	+ improve description of start_color() in the manual.
+	+ modify several files in ncurses- and progs-directories to allow
+	  const data used in internal tables to be put by the linker into the
+	  readonly text segment.
+
+20150329
+	+ correct cut/paste error for "--enable-ext-putwin" that made it the
+	  same as "--enable-ext-colors" (report by Roumen Petrov)
+
+20150328
+	+ add "-f" option to test/savescreen.c to help with testing/debugging
+	  the extended putwin/getwin.
+	+ add logic for writing/reading combining characters in the extended
+	  putwin/getwin.
+	+ add "--enable-ext-putwin" configure option to turn on the extended
+	  putwin/getwin.
+
+20150321
+	+ in-progress changes to provide an extended version of putwin and
+	  getwin which will be capable of reading screen-dumps between the
+	  wide/normal ncurses configurations.  These are text files, except
+	  for a magic code at the beginning:
+	  0       string          \210\210        Screen-dump (ncurses)
+
+20150307
+	+ document limitations of getwin in manual page (prompted by discussion
+	  with John S Urban).
+	+ extend test/savescreen.c to demonstrate that color pair values
+	  and graphic characters can be restored using getwin.
+
+20150228
+	+ modify win_driver.c to eliminate the constructor, to make it more
+	  usable in an application which may/may not need the console window
+	  (report by Grady Martin).
+
+20150221
+	+ capture define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE from the configure check
+	  and add those to the *-config and *.pc files, to simplify use for
+	  the wide-character libraries.
+	+ modify ncurses.spec to accommodate Fedora21's location of pkg-config
+	  directory.
+	+ correct sense of "--disable-lib-suffixes" configure option (report
+	  by Nicolas Boos, cf: 20140426).
+
+20150214
+	+ regenerate html manpages using improved man2html from work on xterm.
+	+ regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, accounting
+	  for the "--enable-weak-symbols" configure option (report by Werner
+	  Fink).
+
+20150131
+	+ regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, showing
+	  the combinations of configure options used at each stage.
+
 20150124
 	+ add configure check to determine if "local: _*;" can be used in the
 	  ".map" files to selectively omit symbols beginning with "_".  On at
