+20080405
+	+ begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
+	  used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
+	+ add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
+	  discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
+	  python-dev2 mailing list).
+
+20080329
+	+ add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
+	+ move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
+	  are not associated with a particular screen.
+	+ change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
+	  stdscr to the callback function.
+	+ force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
+	  e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
+	  (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+	+ override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
+	  platforms such as AIX where libtool supports only static libraries
+	  (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+	+ add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
+	  thread library.
+
+20080322
+	+ fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
+	  waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
+	+ fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
+	  for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
+	  Sedeno).
+	+ add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
+	  wide-characters with extended-colors.
+	+ add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.
+	+ modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen().
+	+ finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads.
+
+20080308
+	+ start modifying test/rain.c for threading demo.
+	+ modify test/ncurses.c to make 'f' test accept the f/F/b/F/</> toggles
+	  that the 'F' accepts.
+	+ modify test/worm.c to show trail in reverse-video when other threads
+	  are working concurrently.
+	+ fix a deadlock from improper nesting of mutexes for windowlist and
+	  window.
+
+20080301
+	+ fixes from 20080223 resolved issue with mutexes; change to use
+	  recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from
+	  _nc_free_and_exit().
+
+20080223
+	+ fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
+	  lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
+
+20080216
+	+ avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
+	  is implemented to suspend the entire process.
+
+20080209
+	+ update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
+	  comparisons.  This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open curses
+	  that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping.  None of the Unix-branded
+	  implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
+
+20080203
+	+ modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
+	  for both narrow/wide models.  It had been set only for wide model,
+	  but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
+	+ improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
+	  using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
+	  further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
+	  Chernov).
+	+ modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
+	  If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
+	  sequence.
+
+20080126
+	+ improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
+	  handling).  Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
+	  or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
+
+20080119
+	+ fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs
+	+ add manpage for use_window and use_screen.
+	+ add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions.
+
+20080112
+	+ remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
+	+ remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
+	  adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
+	  softkeys were used.
+
 20080105
 	+ several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
 	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
