+20120114
+	+ several improvements to test/movewindow.c (prompted by discussion on
+	  Linux Mint forum):
+	  + modify movement commands to make them continuous
+	  + rewrote the test for mvderwin
+	  + rewrote the test for recursive mvwin
+	+ split-out reusable CF_WITH_NCURSES_ETC macro in test/configure.in
+	+ updated configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, build-fixes for Mac OS X
+	  and OpenBSD.
+	+ regenerated html manpages.
+
+20120107
+	+ various improvments for MinGW (Juergen Pfeifer):
+	  + modify stat() calls to ignore the st_size member
+	  + drop mk-dlls.sh script.
+	  + change recommended regular expression library.
+	  + modify rain.c to allow for threaded configuraton.
+	  + modify tset.c to allow for case when size-change logic is not used. 
+
+20111231
+	+ modify toe's report when -a and -s options are combined, to add
+	  a column showing which entries belong to a given database.
+	+ add -s option to toe, to sort its output.
+	+ modify progs/toe.c, simplifying use of db-iterator results to use
+	  caching improvements from 20111001 and 20111126.
+	+ correct generation of pc-files when ticlib or termlib options are
+	  given to rename the corresponding tic- or tinfo-libraries (report
+	  by Sven Joachim).
+
+20111224
+	+ document a portability issue with tput, i.e., that scripts which work
+	  with ncurses may fail in other implementations that do no parameter
+	  analysis.
+	+ add putty-sco entry -TD
+
+20111217
+	+ review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
+	  was not being used.
+	+ add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
+	  could use.
+	+ fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
+	  are all enabled.  The terminal driver depends on a few features in
+	  the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
+	  and termlib.
+	+ fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
+	  enabled.
+	+ use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
+
+20111210
+	+ modify configure script to check if thread library provides
+	  pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
+	+ modify configure script to suppress check to define _XOPEN_SOURCE
+	  for IRIX64, since its header files have a conflict versus
+	  _SGI_SOURCE.
+	+ modify configure script to add ".pc" files for tic- and
+	  tinfo-libraries, which were omitted in recent change (cf: 20111126).
+	+ fix inconsistent checks on $PKG_CONFIG variable in configure script.
+
+20111203
+	+ modify configure-check for etip.h dependencies, supplying a temporary
+	  copy of ncurses_dll.h since it is a generated file (prompted by
+	  Debian #646977).
+	+ modify CF_CPP_PARAM_INIT "main" function to work with current C++.
+
+20111126
+	+ correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
+	  (cf: 20111001).
+	+ modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
+	  absolute pathname.
+	+ add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
+	  use.
+	+ improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
+	+ modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
+	  generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
+	  been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).
+	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOLS in preference to AC_PATH_PROGS when searching for
+	  ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
+	  from patch by Mike Frysinger).
+
 20111119
 	+ remove obsolete/conflicting fallback definition for _POSIX_SOURCE
 	  from curses.priv.h, fixing a regression with IRIX64 and Tru64
