+20090214
+	+ add configure script --enable-sp-funcs to enable the new set of
+	  extended functions.
+	+ start integrating patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	  + add extended functions which specify the SCREEN pointer for several
+	    curses functions which use the global SP (these are incomplete;
+	    some internals work is needed to complete these).
+	  + add special cases to configure script for MinGW port.
+
+20090207
+	+ update several configure macros from lynx changes
+	  + append (not prepend) to CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS
+	  + change variable from PATHSEP to PATH_SEPARATOR
+	+ improve install-rules for pc-files (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+	  + make it work with $DESTDIR
+	  + create the pkg-config library directory if needed.
+
+20090124
+	+ modify init_pair() to allow caller to create extra color pairs beyond
+	  the color_pairs limit, which use default colors (request by Emanuele
+	  Giaquinta).
+	+ add misc/terminfo.tmp and misc/*.pc to "sources" rule.
+	+ fix typo "==" where "=" is needed in ncurses-config.in and
+	  gen-pkgconfig.in files (Debian #512161).
+
+20090117
+	+ add -shared option to MK_SHARED_LIB when -Bsharable is used, for
+	  *BSD's, without which "main" might be one of the shared library's
+	  dependencies (report/analysis by Ken Dickey).
+	+ modify waddch_literal(), updating line-pointer after a multicolumn
+	  character is found to not fit on the current row, and wrapping is
+	  done.  Since the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
+	  multicolumn character was written to the beginning of the current row
+	  (cf: 20041023, reported by "Nick" regarding problem with ncmpc
+	  http://musicpd.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1930).
+
+20090110
+	+ add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD
+	+ modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the adalib
+	  directory.
+	+ correct install for Ada95, which omitted libAdaCurses.a used in
+	  adacurses-config
+	+ change install for adacurses-config to provide additional flavors
+	  such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849).
+
+20090105
+	+ remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
+	  prefix variable.
+	+ recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
+	  --disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the
+	  subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix
+	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
+
+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.
