+20090104
+	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when
+	  deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
+	  for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
+	  account.
+	+ fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
+	  used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
+
+20090103
+	+ add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
+	  CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
+	+ add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along
+	  with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files
+	  for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).
+	+ use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add --includedir
+	  option.
+	+ change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a
+	  configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar"
+	  options.
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
+		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+
+20081227
+	+ modify mk-1st.awk to work with extra categories for tinfo library.
+	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries with gcc
+	  on AIX 5 or 6 (adapted from patch by Lital Natan).
+
+20081220
+	+ modify to omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when
+	  --disable-ext-funcs is used.
+	+ add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw without
+	  wrapping.
+	+ modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines.
+	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines.
+
+20081213
+	+ add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6
+	  (GenToo #245370).
+	+ corrected --without-manpages option; previous change only suppressed
+	  the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man
+	+ add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from
+	  GenToo #250454).
+	+ fixes from NetBSD port at
+	  http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches
+	  patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly)
+	  patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config).
+	+ improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH
+	  by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the
+	  search-lists.
+	+ correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot,
+	  OpenBSD documentation/6019),
+
+20081206
+	+ move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
+	  work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
+	+ correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
+	  set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
+	+ add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
+	  than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
+	  ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
+	  was xterm's alternate screen feature).
+	+ add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
+	  zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
+	  adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
+
+20081129
+	+ improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
+	  character is found.  The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
+	  obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
+	  passing color or video attributes.
+	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
+	  display meta-characters.
+	+ turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
+	+ add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
+	+ correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only
+	  displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612 (report by
+	  Ricardo Cantu).
+
 20081122
 	+ change _nc_has_mouse() to has_mouse(), reflect its use in C++ and
 	  Ada95 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
