+20071020
+	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
+	  for use_window().
+	+ add mrxvt terminfo entry, add/fix xterm building blocks for modified
+	  cursor keys -TD
+	+ compile with FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface (patch by
+	  Rong-En Fan).
+
+20071013
+	+ modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
+	  without libtic.  The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
+	  that library.
+	+ add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
+	  the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
+	+ fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat Bugzilla
+	  #310071, patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
+	+ improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
+	  Lichvar).
+	+ update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
+	  the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
+
+20071006
+	+ add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
+	  changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
+	  cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
+	  memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+20070929
+	+ add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
+	  calls within the ncurses library.
+	+ for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into
+	  the SCREEN. 
+	+ start modifying test/worm.c to provide threading demo (incomplete).
+	+ separated ifdef's for some BSD-related symbols in tset.c, to make
+	  it compile on LynxOS (report by Greg Gemmer).
+20070915
+	+ modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
+	  shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
+	+ build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
+	  the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
+	+ restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
+
+20070908
+	+ add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
+	  for threaded library (incomplete).
+	+ fix typos in man/curs_opaque.3x which kept the install script from
+	  creating symbolic links to two aliases created in 20070818 (report by
+	  Rong-En Fan).
+
+20070901
+	+ remove a spurious newline from output of html.m4, which caused links
+	  for Ada95 html to be incorrect for the files generated using m4.
+	+ start investigating mutex's for SCREEN manipulation (incomplete).
+	+ minor cleanup of codes.c/names.c for --enable-const
+	+ expand/revise "Routine and Argument Names" section of ncurses manpage
+	  to address report by David Givens in newsgroup discussion.
+	+ fix interaction between --without-progs/--with-termcap configure
+	  options (report by Michail Vidiassov).
+	+ fix typo in "--disable-relink" option (report by Michail Vidiassov).
+
+20070825
+	+ fix a sign-extension bug in infocmp's repair_acsc() function
+	  (cf: 971004).
+	+ fix old configure script bug which prevented "--disable-warnings"
+	  option from working (patch by Mike Frysinger).
+
 20070818
 	+ add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
 	+ modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
